360 Mortgage Group Succeeds with HARP 2.0, Now Helping Significant Number of Qualified Underwater Borrowers
May 16, 2012
AUSTIN, Texas, May 16, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — 360 Mortgage Group, a privately owned wholesale mortgage banker, officially began accepting applications for HARP 2.0 loans on Monday, March 19, 2012, specifically serving challenged and underwater borrowers. Subsequently, 360 has experienced a significant increase in loan volume, resulting in the largest active pipeline since the company’s 2007 founding.
Borrowers whose application date was listed after December 1, 2011 are eligible to take part in 360 Mortgage Group’s participation with HARP 2.0. Additionally, all EA-I, II, III, and occupancy loans are HARP-eligible with unlimited LTV and CLTVs with AU Approval. 360 is also accepting existing MI transfers and no appraisals will be required on loans receiving a Property Fieldwork Waiver. There is no limit to the number of financed properties owned by a borrower that can be considered HARP-eligible and no minimum FICO is required.
Since first accepting HARP 2.0 applications, 360 Mortgage Group’s active loan pipeline has increased by almost 700 percent and 360 expects customer participation with HARP only to increase in the coming months. As a result of its increased loan activity, 360 is adding staff.
“We’re focused on making quality hires as rapidly as possible, adding expert staff to meet the daily increasing demand both for HARP and all other loan types,” said Mark Greco, President of 360 Mortgage Group.
“360 has truly embraced the spirit of HARP 2.0,” Greco said. “If homeowners have made their payments without fail throughout the past four years during an economic crisis, then they are going to continue to make those payments now. These homeowners see their home as just that – a home – and not just an investment. These are the people that Fannie and Freddie are seeking to help right now, and so is 360.”

360 Mortgage Group Releases Closing Doc Functionality to Broker Network
February 21, 2012
by Send2Press
in Internet
AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 21, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — 360 Mortgage Group, a privately owned wholesale mortgage bank, has announced the release of Broker Docs, a closing document clearing functionality now available online to all 360 Mortgage Group brokers. This new feature to 360 Mortgage Group’s suite of proprietary online origination tools is expected to shorten closing time by at least 50 percent.
Developed by 360 Mortgage Group Chief Operating Officer Andrew WeissMalik, Broker Docs automatically and instantaneously delivers closing instructions to a closing agent whenever a broker submits a documentation order request and a “Clear to Close” has been issued within the file. This allows closing agents to work on a file prior having a 360 Mortgage Group closer review it, thereby reducing the time required to close a file.
“Instead of having to wait on our staff to process a doc order request and deliver closing instructions to the closing agent, now the originator stays in control of the delivery of closing instructions,” WeissMalik said. “As far as we can tell, no other wholesale lender is offering this kind of tool to its brokers.”
The development of Broker Docs is the latest in a series of proprietary tools 360 Mortgage Group has developed to empower its brokers to complete as much of the origination process as possible. Previous advancements include the development of FHA Connection, which allows 360 brokers to pull case numbers directly from FHA’s portal, and an online chat tool that instantly connects brokers to a 360 account executive.
“360 Mortgage Group does not hire anyone it can’t explicitly trust to deliver zero-defect, salable loans,” WeissMalik added. “We have built our technology platform with an eye towards putting as much control as possible in the hands of our brokers, and our minuscule default rate demonstrates that trust has not been misplaced.”
