My skill set includes comprehensive risk assessment underwriting with an emphasis on identifying, analyzing and documenting material findings in defaulted mortgage loans via forensic review of core loan documentation, lender contracts and variances. I can effectively convey information to various levels of management, independently validate findings and am adept at shifting gears and adapting to change. I have strong organizational, analytical and research skills with a high degree of initiative. My responsibilities have included review process analysis and risk based manual underwriting for major mortgage entities. I am experienced in all aspects of the mortgage origination cycle, closing, funding, post-closing and secondary marketing with comprehensive knowledge of federal and multi-state regulatory compliance. I am proficient in working with imaged loan files and possess operating knowledge of Fannie Mae QAS, DU, Freddie Mac LP, Lexis Nexis, and other mortgage and investigative software platforms.
