Policy and Procedure Manuals

Why does our company need a policy and procedure manual?

The years 2010 and 2011 brought changes to appraisal guidelines, pre-closing and post-closing quality control and a host of federal acts that everyone must comply with. Without a current operations, servicing or quality control plan your firm risks not qualifying for investor, warehouse or agency approvals.

Most investors and all agencies require written procedures and policies related to the orgination through insuring phase of a loan request for companies who are involved in loan origination, retail or wholesale, and servicing procedures for companies who service closed loans.

OUR GUARANTEE: We will modify your manual free of charge if agency guidelines change or your investor/agency requires additional information for up to six months from date of purchase.

We will gladly add your company's policies and procedures to your new manual free of charge in most cases.

We will work with your staff to provide you with the best manual in the industry.

WE KNOW OUR MANUALS ARE THE BEST and that is why we provide a table of contents for your review.

WAIT! If you have a manual you love, but want to add new guidelines, information or requirements, we can provide you with chapter-specific guidelines for a minimal fee of $150 per chapter. We will be happy to supply you with a table of contents so you can pick and chose the chapters you wish to purchase. We can integrate the information with your current guidelines for a negotiated low rate if you are not purchasing an entire manual or plan.

The guidelines most commonly asked for are:

FRAUD PREVENTION - PRE-CLOSING usually added to your operations manual or QC Plan

APPRAISAL - New guidelines since the termination of HVCC including GSE data upload requirements - usually added to your operations manual

COMPLIANCE - RESPA - DODD-FRANK Fair Housing / Fair Lending - ECOA, SAFE / NMLS - usually added to your QC Plan

INVESTOR REPORTING - Servicing requirements including Fannie-Mae's new requirements for SURF, HSSN, Ginnie-Mae and Freddie-Mac reporting requirements as well.

HOW YOUR MANUAL WILL ARRIVE:

Your policy and procedure manual will arrive in draft form via e-mail allowing senior management to review. The initial draft come to you in Word (97) and the final version will be produced in PDF and Word so you can continue adding your company's internal policies and procedures in the future.

Your logo, company name and unique company guidelines can be added to the Standard Policy and Procedure Manual, usually at no cost to your company.

NOTE: DUE TO THE VERY RECENT CHANGES TO GUIDELINES, REGULATIONS, APPRAISAL STANDARDS AND COMPLIANCE ISSUES, OUR MANUALS ARE BEING BROUGHT CURRENT, AND THEN BEING RELOADED TO OUR SYSTEM.
