An unnamed independent mortgage banker "with strong net worth and experienced management team" is selling the servicing, according to IMA.
The seller would prefer to sell to a buyer that could have due diligence and a purchase and sale agreement executed by Dec. 31 for a Jan. 1, 2019 sale date. The financial strength and quality of the bidder, as well at the quality of the bidder's current servicing, will be factors in the seller's decision as to who to sell to.
