• Ensure closed loans meet internal quality control standards and secondary market requirements.
• Maintain organized audit records and document findings, corrections, and resolutions.
• Assist with preparation for internal and external audits, investor reviews, and regulatory examinations.
• Stay current on changing mortgage regulations, compliance requirements, and investor updates.

Team Collaboration & Professionalism
