A little history

About The Processing Center

The company started in 1995 before there was commonly such a thing as contract processors. Our background started in Lending Operations, Processing, Underwriting, Bulk-Sales and Servicing — back in the day when 125's* were hot.

We are a full-service processing company. We offer complete loan processing from handwritten 1003 to delivering a compliance-ready/funded loan to you. When we started out, after surveying mortgage professionals, we realized that there was no common denominator in regards to what originators were looking for in a processor. We then knew we had to offer a complete array of services and be expert in all of them.

*125's — 2nd mortgages that could exceed CLTV of 100% up to 125% of the value.

Our services

From handwritten 1003 to compliance-ready, funded loan.

We will undertake as much as is needed and wanted on your loans — including borrower and realtor communication, fighting lenders for unneeded conditions, and more. With the amount of experience we have, we are expert on knowing where and how a loan got stuck in the process and getting it unstuck and moving fast.
