Loans requiring low down payments and no cash reserves are now available through the company’s retail and wholesale lending channels

JULY 29, 2013 – SANTA ANA, CA – Carrington Mortgage Services, LLC (Carrington) today announced that it has broadened its portfolio of government loan programs by offering USDA loans through its retail and wholesale lending operations. Requiring low – and in some cases no – down payment or cash reserve, Carrington’s USDA loan program complements the company’s existing range of government products designed to increase the borrowing potential of real estate consumers, offering them, the agents and the brokers who serve them a competitive advantage in today’s real estate market.
With a USDA loan through Carrington, eligible borrowers can obtain up to 100 percent financing on a home’s appraised value. Purchase, Rate/Term Refinance and Streamline Refinance options are available to borrowers with a debt-to-income ratio of 29/41 and a minimum FICO score of 580 (other restrictions may apply).
“Carrington is deeply committed to providing a wide range of products that meet the individual needs of borrowers – and that give the real estate professionals and brokers who serve them the confidence to close transactions,” said Ray Brousseau, Executive Vice President of Carrington Mortgage Services, LLC’s Mortgage Lending Division. “By adding USDA loans to our government-based portfolio, we’re providing consumers with an additional lending option that can make purchasing or refinancing a property more accessible.”
In addition to its USDA loan program, Carrington offers FHA and VA purchase loans, as well as FHA Streamlines and 203k products for borrowers looking to refinance their mortgages. The company recently expanded its credit requirements on all government products, reducing the minimum FICO score to 580 to make qualifying for loans easier on the borrower. To further extend lending opportunities among consumers, the company has also modified its guidelines to include manufactured houses as eligible properties for FHA and VA loan programs, omit overlays for FHA first time home buyer loans, and add non-traditional credit guidelines for FHA borrowers with limited or insufficient credit.

The Wholesale Lending Division of Carrington Mortgage Services, LLC (Carrington) today announced that it has increased its sales staff, adding 14 professionals focused on offering brokers and borrowers a competitive advantage in a tight housing market through expanded in-market service. Carrington’s latest hires include Fishers, IN Sales Manager James Torrence, along with 13 new account executives distributed as needed in locations across the U.S.
The recent boost in headcount is the latest development in Carrington’s strategy to bolster its wholesale lending business by expanding its breadth of product and extending its market reach. Earlier this year, the company launched two initiatives aimed at more effectively serving brokers and their realtor partners, allowing them to widen their markets and approach their businesses with confidence: a 30-Day Loan Closing Program providing consumers, brokers and their realtor partners with a shorter, more predictable timeline to secure financing, and an FHA Streamline Ready to Close Program enabling borrowers to close eligible refinance loans any day of the month with no additional interest, allowing them to take advantage of possible lower rates and expediting compensation timelines for brokers. FHA 203k loans are expected to become available through Carrington’s Wholesale Lending Division later this month, providing opportunities for purchase-focused brokers to work directly with real estate agents, consumers and investors throughout the front-end lifecycle of these loans, thereby maintaining involvement and increasing the potential for repeat or referral business.
“Carrington has worked diligently to refine its operational processes over the past year, enabling us and the brokers we partner with to offer an extended product portfolio backed by exceptional service,” said Ray Brousseau, Executive Vice President of Carrington Mortgage Services, LLC’s Mortgage Lending Division. “We have significantly grown our sales staff in order to more effectively share the benefits of these advancements with a larger base of brokers, realtors and borrowers, and to support the growing demand for quality loans and flexible, expeditious closings across these groups.”
In addition to facilitating Carrington’s bicoastal market expansion, the recent infusion of new sales personnel has provided opportunities for internal advancement for Carrington employees like Rich Marfino, who was recently promoted from Account Executive to Area Sales Manager for Florida. Other recent promotions within the division include Samuel Bjelac to Division Sales Manager for the Eastern U.S., Chris Dauria to Division Sales Manager for the Western U.S., Brad Winters to Inside Sales Manager for the Western U.S., and Christine Lacey to Sales Manager for the Western U.S.
