in Daily Dose, Events, Government, Servicing, Webinars July 15, 2022 2,521 Views

On Monday, July 18, the Five Star Institute, in partnership with Sagent, will present the latest in its Webinar Series, “Is 2022-23 Really the Golden Age of Mortgage Servicing?” from 2:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. Central.

The Five Star Institute Webinar Series aims to broaden the horizons of the mortgage industry, and a source for complimentary insights and education about critical industry topics led by subject-matter experts and company sponsors.

With mortgage rates bouncing between the 5.5% and 6% marks after record refis puts most first-liens into rates at or below 4%, many believe we may be in the “Golden Age of Servicing.” But will prepay speeds remain as low as some have predicted? Will cash flow continue to support mortgage servicing rights (MSR) valuations? What's the role that fintech will play to keep consumers happy as MSRs transfer among servicers?

A panel of mortgage servicing experts, including Julian Hebron, Founder and CEO of The Basis Point; Jay Jones, EVP of Servicing for Mr. Cooper; Dan Sogorka, President and CEO of Sagent; and Seth Sprague, Director of Richey May will go deep on all of these questions and provide servicing pros with the playbook needed to win in this “Golden Age.”

Jones has more than 25 years of experience in the mortgage industry with responsibilities ranging across a variety of functions including leading and managing capital marketing, analytics, credit management, servicing, and special servicing.
