FNC(R) Technology to Help Fannie Mae Streamline Appraisal-Related Processes

Fannie Mae will use FNC’s flagship product to mitigate risk, streamline
workflow

OXFORD, Miss., June 2 /PRNewswire/ — Fannie Mae, the nation’s largest
purchaser of mortgages in the secondary market, is using FNC systems to
mitigate risk and streamline its appraisal-related processes, FNC officials
announced today.

Technology company FNC Inc., creator of the Collateral Management
System(R) (CMS(R)) — a workflow solution used by the nation’s largest
mortgage lenders — signed Fannie Mae as a new client on March 17.

Fannie Mae began using the CMS on April 14 to streamline its
foreclosure appraisal processes in two of its divisions: the National
Property Disposition Center (NPDC) and the National Underwriting Center
(NUC), both in Dallas.

Both the NPDC, which processes more than 10,000 appraisals per month,
and the NUC, which processes about 1,000 appraisals per month, are
concerned about mitigating risk associated with fraud, according to John
Scott, FNC’s director of alliance sales.

FNC’s analytic product GAAR(R) (Generally Accepted Appraisal Rules(TM))
is the solution, Scott said. Built into the CMS, the GAAR Risk Series
automatically reviews appraisals and instantly flags any violations that
may be indicators of fraud.

Additionally, the CMS will automate many of Fannie Mae’s historically
manual processes, including ordering appraisals and the subsequent
tracking, receipt, analysis, and reporting processes related to those
appraisals. FNC systems will allow Fannie Mae to process more appraisals,
more accurately, saving the Enterprise both time and money.
