Navigating the Current Market

Dana Dillard, GMAC Mortgage, SVP of Mortgage Operations
Laurie Goodman, Amherst Securities, Senior Managing Director
Seth Wheeler, Department of Treasury, Senior Advisor

Get an insider’s perspective on some of the most challenging issues that the Obama administration and the servicing community are confronting as they maneuver an evolving market and continued facelifts to current legislation and policy. Some of the tough questions being asked: What is impeding servicers from converting trial HAMP mods to permanent mods? What can both the government and the servicing community do to overcome HAMP’s challenges and streamline processes into more effective solutions for borrowers? How will the government address securitized assets and the role they play in the modification process? In what ways is the administration addressing the uptick in unemployment and its direct correlation to homeownership affordability issues—as borrowers face continued financial pressure or face losing access to capital altogether?
