Loan Servicing Agent
Life-of-loan servicing: payments, escrow, payoffs, statements.
Runs the loan after closing: payment-posting questions, escrow analyses, payoff quotes, PMI removal, and the annual escrow shortage letter explained in plain English. Resolves routine servicing end-to-end and routes any signal of financial hardship straight to the hardship agent.
