This is an oldie but goodie set of “common-sense” rules that we in the mortgage industry know, however as another layer of servicing our clients I thought it’d be a great
checklist to keep with your other resources.

It’s near mid-month. You’re preparing for the second half “push” to month end. It’s “o’dark thirty” o’clock in the morning. You grab your morning coffee – add a shot of espresso. Greet everyone with smiles. Get comfy in your ergonomically enhanced chair. Log into your desktop. Check your office voicemail. Scan through your emails – scan your desk for the batch of files you got back from underwriting – then it begins.

The idea is that you are more likely to do something rote and habitual with effectiveness when it’s part of a regular routine, just like you do, for example, every morning when you get ready for work.

I have said it before and I will say it again and that is, do not believe everything you hear or read for that matter. In this particular instance I am referring to AUS Findings. I have had countless conversations with processors and loan officer who want to know why I am asking for documentation that the AUS findings have clearly stated wasn’t needed or worse, they can’t believe I am turning a loan down that has an Approve/Eligible. So here it is again and pay particular attention to the details because just because you have an Approve/Eligible or Accept doesn’t necessarily mean you have a done deal.
