Who We Are
Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing (SMS) is one of America’s top-five non-bank mortgage-servicing companies. What is mortgage servicing? Our clients are businesses that own mortgage loans (such as banks and real estate investment firms). On their behalf, we manage (or “service”) their loan portfolios, which means that we collect homeowners’ mortgage payments, pay their tax and insurance bills, and help homeowners in default to get current.
Primary Function
Regulatory Correspondence Specialists are responsible for handling Qualified Written Requests and Disputes submitted to Regulatory agencies. The job entails reviewing all escalated written inquiries, disputes and complaints from borrower’s or their authorized representatives.
The Regulatory Correspondence Specialist I role is responsible for handling the intake process for any complaints submitted by Regulatory agencies or Executives of SMS/NRZ. They are responsible daily for managing the Regulatory mailbox, the CFPB portal, and Better Business Bureau portal, to retrieve incoming complaints, or communications from agencies/regulators.
The Regulatory Correspondence Specialist I will have basic experience in all aspects of mortgage servicing. The job entails being a point of contact for the state and federal agencies, as well as our counterparts at Newrez originations. They are responsible for imaging and documenting the complaints in our tracker and assigning each case to the appropriate team member for final response.
The Regulatory Correspondence Specialist I is one that is adequately experienced to decipher the homeowner’s complaint to the point of identifying the exact issue/s, identifying root cause, properly identifying the classification categories of the complaint, determining corrective action and next steps. They are required to communicate in writing with a synopsis to executives and senior leadership, in a professional manner. In doing so, the Regulatory Correspondence Specialist I must feel comfortable providing guidance and direction to other business leaders, to take the appropriate actions to resolve the issue.
This role will prepare the other Regulatory Correspondence Specialists on the team to be able to close the complaint with a formal response when things are resolved. This position requires excellent research skills and a vast knowledge/experience with mortgage.
