The StoneHill Group, a veteran-owned nationwide provider of quality control, due diligence and mortgage fulfillment services for the mortgage industry, is expanding its mortgage lender support services to help more mortgage companies, banks and credit unions operate with greater cost-efficiency in an increasingly challenging environment, according to a press release.
The StoneHill Group now is licensed to provide complete underwriting and processing support in 18 states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington, D.C. The Ohio and Arizona licenses were activated in June and the company is awaiting license approvals in South Carolina, Texas and Washington, the release said.
Because hiring and training staff is time-consuming and expensive, lenders often outsource underwriting, processing and other origination tasks when loan volumes fluctuate. Unlike some origination support providers, however, the StoneHill Group offers a variable cost structure for its services, so clients only pay for the work they need.
“Almost every day, someone asks me how they can save money originating loans in this environment,” StoneHill Group founder and CEO David Green said in the release. “For many, the best option is to outsource some or all of their origination work to the StoneHill Group. Once they do, they can stop worrying about whether they have enough staff, and they can rest assured that their critical processes will be completed on time and within budget.”
In addition to providing origination support services, the StoneHill Group is a nationwide provider of loan quality control, loan fulfillment and MERS reconciliation and annual review services. All of the company’s services are rendered onshore in the United States and comply with SSAE 18/SOC 1 standards.
“Our outsourcing clients are not only able to react to shifts in loan volume more quickly,” Green said. “We also help them meet specific requirements and stay compliant.”
