Mortgage Process Outsourcing
July 6, 2008
Last week-end I read an article about Mortgage process outsourcing, it nicely explained the advantages of mortgage BPO.
Is it the right time to consider mortgage process BPO?
In US the real estate market has been down for the past one year and the analysts predicts that it will be down until 2008. Well no one knows exactly how long it will take for the real estate market to recover. But everyone in the mortgage industry knows the current real estate market puts the mortgage business in a tough time. Several Mortgage companies profits have been in decline because of subprime mortgage loans and Alt-A loans it gave to the lenders in the real estate boom time. Now these mortgage companies are trying to cut cost and increase their profit margins.
It is the right time for the mortgage companies to consider outsourcing its mortgage processes to outsource vendors who specialize in mortgage process outsourcing. Following are some of the mortgage processing tasks that can be outsourced:
Loan Origination
- Telemarketing
- Inbound Call Support
- E-Mail Support
- Early Application Processing
Loan Processing
- Customer Inquiry Support
- Application Completion
- Title Search
- Appraisal Management
- Flood Certification
- Escrow Processing
- Hazard insurance Processing
- Underwriting Support
- Customer Document Verification
Loan Closing
- Document Preparation
- Document Delivery
- Quality Control Audit
- HUD-1 Settlement
Mortgage businesses should take a look into their entire mortgage process value-chain to find out core tasks and noncore tasks. They should keep the core tasks to themselves and outsource the rest of the noncore tasks. Sometimes big financial institutions may consider the entire mortgage business is noncore, they should consider outsourcing the entire mortgage process to vendors who specialize in complete end-to-end loan processing services.
