Freddie Mac has announced that it will change Loan Prospector to give lenders greater certainty on pricing for A-minus and Caution loans.The changes will enable lenders to use the Loan Prospector Level returned on the Loan Prospector Feedback Certificate to determine their A-minus fees, since the Loan Prospector Level is identical to the fee rate used to calculate the A-minus post-settlement delivery fee that will appear on the monthly invoice, according to Freddie. In addition, the new post-delivery A-minus fee assessment process will cut the time lenders spend reconciling fees for loans sold to Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored enterprise said. The changes are scheduled to take effect May 1.
