Origination and Processing
Home > Industry Resources > Best Practices & Standards

The success of a loan begins with the skills and expertise of the origination and processing team. Loan origination starts with the marketing of a mortgage banker’s mortgage loan products to borrowers, homebuilders, real estate agents and brokers and includes coordination with every other mortgage banking department to bring a mortgage to the point where it is closed and ready to be sold in the secondary market. MBA provides a wealth of resources to assist mortgage originators in ensuring this process is efficient and productive.
