Extensions

If a mandatory fixed-rate contract will not close on or prior to the contract expiration date, you may extend the contract at any time on or prior to the contract expiration date.

  • You may extend the contract in Loan Selling Advisor® as many times as needed, as long as the total extension period plus the original contract term does not exceed 120 days and each extension is less than 90 days beyond the current date.
  • You will be assessed a fee for each contract extension.

Pairoffs

In the event a mandatory fixed-rate contract will not be fulfilled, Freddie Mac allows you to do one of the following:

  • Pair off all or part of a current contract, or
  • Pair off and recommit by transferring non-funded loans to a new contract.

Settlement

  • View settlement statements in real time via Loan Selling Advisor.
  • Request a specific settlement date for each mortgage sold, or settlement will occur as soon as the requirements for sale have been met.
