| Two Ways To Save |
| |
|
MERS AS NOMINEE (MOM)
To eliminate the need for all assignments and to realize the greatest savings, lenders should close loans using standard security instruments containing language approved by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac which name MERS as Original Mortgagee (MOM). Sample documents are available from MERS as well as many document vendors.
MERS AS ASSIGNEE
Lenders may also assign loans into MERS if the loan has already been closed in the lender's name. Once the loan is assigned to MERS using the same paper assignment process as you use now, tracking servicing and beneficial rights can occur electronically for all future transfers. The need for any additional assignments after this point will be eliminated unless the servicing rights are sold to a non-MERS member.

Whenever possible, all loans should be closed utilizing security instruments naming MERS as Mortgagee and Nominee for the lender to realize the maximum cost savings. If any wholesaler or investor should require that the loan be delivered in a name other than MERS, the Certifying Officer on your staff would simply prepare a paper assignment from MERS to them. In this manner, the overwhelming majority of your production should not require assignments. |
