FORECLOSURE LAB

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 | 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM

Effective foreclosure administration practices are a critical and necessary element of any successful default servicing operation. With the cessation of the foreclosure moratoria and widespread forbearance implemented during the unprecedented events of the past two years, mortgage servicers are turning their attention back to ensuring efficient, streamlined navigation of this process. Join the Foreclosure Lab as servicers, attorneys, and government representatives discuss how to prepare for increased volumes, what impacts firms may experience as far as workflow and hiring, and more.
