Home Equity Fundings also reached $1.1 billion during January, up from $0.8 billion a year ago. “We commenced 2003 with a month of solid operational performance across all of our business lines,” CEO Stanford L. Kurland said. The total servicing portfolio of the Calabasas, Calif.-based company hit a record $469 billion in January. Its mortgage loan pipeline closed at $48.2 billion by January’s end, which more than doubled last year’s $23.0 billion. Shares of Countrywide were down $0.09 at $53.17 during midday trading, according to CBSMarketwatch.com. |
