With unparalleled industry insight and proficiency, we help lenders structure, negotiate, close, and service loans that are sold to secondary market investors. We provide dedicated resources for servicing needs and for deals within the Freddie Mac Small Balance Loan (SBL) and Fannie Mae Small Loan programs.
Our practice is widely regarded as the go-to legal resource for lenders and loan servicers for multifamily finance in the U.S. The team includes attorneys with in-house experience at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and skilled support staff who each play an active role in guiding clients through the entire loan cycle. Clients benefit from our experience representing the top originating lenders of Fannie Mae’s Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS) product line since the program’s inception in 1988, and our delivery of thousands of Freddie Mac’s securitized capital markets execution (CME) loans since the program began in 2009. We regularly handle matters in all 50 states and in Washington, D.C., and on average close 3,000 transactions annually with an aggregate value of nearly $70 billion.
From engagement to closing, clients rely on us to manage the loan process and to keep them apprised of legal, procedural, or other developments that impact the agency lending industry. We support the full range of our clients’ financing work — from straightforward transactions of all sizes to their most challenging deals.
Our long-standing service model drives consistency, excellence, and efficiency. We have developed processes on the front end and back end of the loan closing to facilitate our clients’ needs, and to expedite loan sales to the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs). We provide seamless service from deal to deal by thoroughly understanding our clients’ businesses, borrowers, internal procedures, and preferences. Our process is continually reviewed and improved, and any changes are implemented practice-wide, resulting in standardized communication and predictable fee structures.
