The staff also assist with changes that can happen during the processing of the loan, keeping the financing in step with the customer\u2019s needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #009447;\">\u201cMaking sure the borrower has received all the informational compliance documents and there is conformity to the program guidelines; as well as, accuracy of fees disclosed in a consistent manner.

Over time, the laws have been revised and updated, and new regulations have been added. It\u2019s our Compliance staff who keeps track of all the changes by attending conferences, seminars and continuing education courses. They, in turn, educate the rest of our company about how to stay compliant with the laws.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThe role of compliance has grown dramatically, especially in the last 10 years,\u201d Neubert said. \u201cThat\u2019s true not only at MIG, but across the industry. It\u2019s important to keep a current and positive perspective for the most agile mortgage operation by embracing digital opportunities at every turn. It\u2019s a new day for mortgage lending which MIG is embracing to take every possible digital step.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We\u2019re always doing our best to efficiently meet our customer\u2019s needs and improve the way we do business, and that extends to using the latest technology to verify and validate loan characteristics through to eSignatures from our customers at all stages of the transaction. \u201cThe full eMortgage experience is on its way to MIG and our customers,\u201d Neubert stated.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #009447;\">\u201cOne of the good things about being an independent mortgage banker is we only make home loans, the focus of the entire staff is on providing solid information to the customer in an as efficient manner as possible,\u201d Neubert said. \u201cWe see efficiency and compliance with regulations as resulting in a good, positive borrower experience\u2026.the MIG standard!\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5315 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/migonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/thank-you-1024x167.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/migonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/thank-you-1024x167.png 1024w, https:\/\/migonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/thank-you-300x49.png 300w, https:\/\/migonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/thank-you-768x125.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each year, Mortgage Investors Group helps thousands of homebuyers select the home loan program best suited to their needs.
