Services Provided to Government Guaranteed Program Lenders
Coastal Securities is a major participant in the
secondary market of government guaranteed loans (SBA 7(a) and USDA loans). As
such we have a vested interest in making the transactional experience as trouble
free as possible for both lenders and investors.
Each time Coastal Securities
and a customer interact, we learn something about each other. Our goal is to
continuously utilize knowledge from the customer experience to improve market
efficiency and effectiveness. Coastal’s team will provide priceless insight into
customer inquiries, resulting in increased productivity for our lenders.
Investors relate their ongoing interest in the government guaranteed loan
markets directly to their experience. If the after sale experience is good,
their experience translates in to a healthy, well bid market. If their
experience is bad, they may back away or look for more yield to compensate for
the issues they may have to deal with.
Often, these issues are caused in the
mechanics of creating the loan. Because of the lack of standardization in USDA
loans, lenders often inadvertently create problems for themselves in the
prepayment language or by not establishing an accurate amortization schedule and
reporting function for the investor.
Coastal Securities enjoys a wealth of
talent in trading and operations. Our Lender Assistance team, cashiers and
Operations Manager are friendly, helpful and eager to assist new lenders or
infrequent lenders get their loans off to a good start. With an average
experience of over twenty years each, our personnel will be the best consulting
team you could access for assistance and the best part is that it is free! When
you sell your loan to Coastal, we want you to take advantage of our
experience and to work with you on the loan throughout the process.
