IAS Launches Investor-Focused Servicing Group

Integrated Asset Services, LLC, a Denver-based provider of default management and residential collateral valuation, has launched a new company called Statebridge, which will provide custom, high-touch investor-focused servicing. The risk-based servicing, developed by a team that helped create the market for independent surveillance of mortgage securities, introduces a new adaptive approach designed to optimize investor success through tailored, high-touch servicing that aims to maximize return on performing and nonperforming loans. With the Statebridge launch, the IAS suite of mortgage servicing products — which already includes REO management and disposition, collateral valuation, conditioned valuation, and mortgage due diligence — is aimed at bridging the entire loan lifecycle. In association with IAS's valuation and REO capabilities, Statebridge aims to be the only servicing company providing a "one-stop shop" for mortgage servicing that is intensely focused on the needs of investors, according to Dave McCarthy, president and CEO of Integrated Asset Services. The company was designed to provide custom special servicing of both distressed and nondistressed mortgages. In addition to servicing advice on existing mortgages, Statebridge is equipped to offer collateral analysis, fiduciary review, pool level analysis, and pricing advocacy for new investments in mortgages.
