Rogers, along with a panel including Jane Bond, Managing Attorney, SE Litigation with MRLP LLC; Ryan McGuinness, Director, Mortgage Servicing Policy with Freddie Mac; Michael Merritt, SVP, Customer Care & Mortgage Default with BOK Financial; and Ryan Bourgeois, Partner (General Counsel/Compliance Officer) with BDF Law Group presented the session titled “Mortgage Servicing Today: Insights From Inside the Industry.” The panel of experts discussed the latest developments and challenges in mortgage servicing, exploring key issues, including delinquencies, loss mitigation strategies, and effective communication among firms, servicers, and investors. Rogers and the group of panelists shared their expertise, insight, and practical solutions to navigate the complexities of today’s evolving mortgage servicing landscape.
“What is most interesting to me and a lot of people in our industry are all of the changes coming up with the GSEs not traveling and people being cut … the communication between the law firms, the servicers, the lenders … how important that piece is going to be in keeping everybody on the same page,” said Rogers. “With all of those changes, it’s going to be a difficult task.”
