(CCCSDV), with 19 offices in the Philadelphia metro area, will join the more than 200 counseling agencies and 10 major servicers already committed to the new Web portal.
""HOPE LoanPort continues to gain momentum, as we are adding new counseling organizations every day,"" said Larry Gilmore, CEO of HOPE LoanPort. ""These HUD-certified, nonprofits are essential to providing at-risk
[COLUMN_BREAK]homeowners with the tools necessary to finding mortgage solutions.""
HOPE LoanPort will provide benefits to all of CCCSDV's housing counselors. By having the ability to send all loan modification documents electronically to a mortgage servicer, the organization will be able to track a homeowner's progress and better understand which homeowners qualify for loan modifications. This, HOPE LoanPort said, will reduce repeat calls to housing counselors from homeowners checking on the status of their loan modification.
Anthony A. Orman, CCCSDV VP of client programs, welcomes the portal as an additional resource for CCCSDV counselors to use to better serve their clients. ""When we can utilize a tool that allows us to respond to clients in quicker fashion and make us more efficient as an agency, it's a win-win for all involved,"" he said.
Gilmore said CCCSDV is joining an impressive group of dedicated counselors who are on the front lines of the mortgage crisis every day. He said HOPE LoanPort is confident that their involvement will enhance the Web portal and further its position as the premiere loan modification tool of its kind.
