SHARP Awards Recognize Top Performance for Mortgage Servicers

MCLEAN, Va. (Feb. 25, 2020) – Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) announced today the nine winners of its 2019 Servicer Honors and Rewards Program (SHARP)SM, which annually recognizes mortgage loan Servicers for superior servicing portfolio performance. SHARP is aligned with Freddie Mac’s Reimagine ServicingSM effort to transform the servicing landscape while focusing on outstanding customer service and positive efforts to prevent and alleviate loan delinquencies.

“The SHARP awards represent quality servicing, risk management and sustainable homeownership – and we’re excited to recognize and celebrate the success of our clients,” said Yvette Gilmore, vice president of servicer relationship and performance management for the Single-Family Business at Freddie Mac. “We honor our Servicers for their continued dedication to servicing mortgage loans, assisting borrowers and reducing the complexity of the loan servicing process.”

Freddie Mac has refined how data and portfolio analytics can drive servicing performance, which helps contribute to the company’s low serious delinquency rate.

“SHARP enables Servicers to make data driven operational decisions that advance their efforts to help borrowers, minimize credit risk and reduce their costs,” added Bill Maguire, vice president of servicing portfolio management at Freddie Mac. “SHARP is one of our foundational tools to quality servicing.”
