Transforming Underwriting Efficiency for Mortgage Lenders

Transforming Underwriting Efficiency for Mortgage Lenders

Customer Overview

Our client is a prominent mortgage lender with a significant presence on the West Coast and operations across 20+ states.

The Challenges

The client faced challenges with their in-house underwriters during a sudden spike in loan volume:

  • A long queue of loans waiting for underwriting.
  • More in-house resources were needed to manage the increased workload.
  • Frustrated lenders and brokers were threatening to take their business elsewhere.

The Solutions

We addressed these challenges through a series of strategic steps, detailed as follows:

  • Deployed experienced underwriters to understand the client’s systems through webinars and calls.
  • Onboarded and trained new hires swiftly.
  • Established multi-layered quality control teams with rigorous document checks.
  • Conducted weekly review calls to gather feedback and ensure process alignment.

Results Achieved

The implementation led to crucial improvements: our 20 underwriters handle all HARP and conventional loans, pre-underwriting for FHA and VA loans is now managed offsite, and increased capacity allows the client to process more loans daily. Key results include:

  • Reduction in underwriting turnaround time from weeks to under 48 hours.
  • Access to quality resources without extra expenditure.
  • Nearly 50% reduction in operational costs.
  • Enhanced quality of underwriting services due to improved quality checks.
  • Fewer work-related complaints and improved capability to handle higher volumes.
  • Strengthened relationships between brokers and borrowers.
