Washington, DC – January 27, 2022 – Treliant, LLC has created a new subsidiary—Treliant Mortgage Services, LLC (TMS)—to provide staff augmentation for clients facing unprecedented business activity in mortgage origination, servicing, loss mitigation, and other areas.
“TMS builds on Treliant’s industry-leading track record in providing trusted, strategic advice and specialized business solutions in financial services,” said Senior Managing Director Grace Brasington. “Lenders have been hard-pressed to manage staffing requirements in recent times, as demand surged for mortgage origination resources. A lesson learned by savvy originators is that the flexibility to scale staff up and down as needed is key, no matter what direction interest rates are headed.”
An upswell of mergers, acquisitions, and regulatory activity is also challenging originators and servicers. “A flexible staffing model makes sense in all areas of mortgage operations,” said Treliant Senior Director Deborah Grissom, “and TMS manages a pipeline of exceptional professionals with deep mortgage industry experience who can step in to competently fill clients’ gaps.”
TMS was established to provide frontline mortgage underwriters, processors, and closers to banks and independent mortgage companies in a staff augmentation capacity. Staff augmentation throughout the mortgage life cycle will be an important focus going forward, including pre- and post-close quality control, compliance, file review in anticipation of regulatory exams, default servicing, and servicing portfolio retention.
TMS actively recruits and manages professionals with recent experience in the following roles: residential processor, frontline underwriter, and closer; commercial real estate (CRE) underwriter; commercial and industrial (C&I) loan underwriter; post-close quality control specialist; commercial and residential flood specialist; and loss mitigation specialist. The firm’s Safe Act licensing footprint now covers nearly half of U.S. states and is continually expanding.
