Example… Firm Application complete - lender sends Mike in Minneapolis the electronic version (CD or thumb drive) Mike uploads data to SharePoint and project enters queue 42
Example… Service Lanes: f Non Portfolio Queue f Portfolio Queue a7 Regular Queue a7 Green Queue 5. Other Queue (NC, SR, Blended Rate) a Queue 43
Example… Work Done While Project in Queue: Contractor projects: Program Specialist obtains OGC reviewer, asks lenders to send docs to them, processes APPS/2530’s, and requests updates (if needed). 223a7’s: runs on iREMS are posted to Sharepoint Other Queue: Diane Rosinski does pre-review and gets categorized (no revisions, minor revision, major revisions). Projects with major revisions are put on long term hold – removed from queue. 44
Example… As underwriter capacity becomes available, Workload Manager (WLM) assigns OHP underwriter (UW) to project(s) at the top of the queue 45
Example… UW s lender – 1 hard copy to UW – Select documents to OGC Closing Attorney (if not already requested) UW begins Underwriter Punchlist for Firm OGC Closing Attorney begins Legal Punchlist 46
Example… If Appraiser review needed - refer to OHP Appraiser Our appraisers run the Decision Circuit on 223f’s to determine who will review (passes = UW; fails = OHP Appraiser) Coordinated by UW: OGC Review OHP Appraiser Review Environmental Review (OHP New York staff or OHP Appraiser) 47
