The main purpose of the Welcome Call is to introduce the processing team, set processing expectations, and ensure reliable communication channels throughout the loan modification process.
Welcome calls are conducted within 24 hours after new submissions are received from the agents. They are assigned in a round robin timeline and a task will be opened for you entitled “WC - [BORR NAME]”. These are very important as if they are not done, it results in paranoia, too many phone calls, and general unease. It creates a lot more work for you and the company if you do not complete these correctly or at all.

Setting Expectations
Update Frequency
Your lender will usually update us every 7-10 days. As soon as I receive
any information from them, I will contact you via email. Please check your
email at least once a week, including your junk folder.
If your lender calls you, its okay to speak with them just make sure YOU ARE IN CONTROL of the conversation or you could get denied. You can and are encouraged to always ask them 2 questions and then hang up: 1) do I have a foreclosure sale date? and 2) what is the status of my modification review? -- then report back to us.
IF YOU GET A SALE DATE, and we are not saying you will, make sure to notify us ASAP so we can make arrangements to cancel it in time.
System Email Updates
If we don't need anything, you're going to get what seems like a generic status update email. This IS NOT generic - It just means we don't need anything from you, OR that we've already done it for you.
If/When you get an email from us with any update, it's a good thing - it means contact has been made with your lender.
Document Requests
We will make the process run as smoothly as possible for you, but remember
that your lender can ask for updated documents at any time. We will
try to keep our calls for documents to a minimum, please understand that
if I am calling you, I need it! Please send these within 48 hours to avoid delays and frustration.
Welcome Email
You will also get an email from us within 24 hours. Please read it thoroughly and respond to the email or text message after you have read it. If you do not get the welcome email it within 24 hours, please text us or email us. Remember to check your junk mail!
Best Contact Method
The best way to contact us is via email and text message because we may be
on the phone. All of that info will be in your welcome email.
Closing
We will be in touch soon. If you need anything, remember the best way to
get ahold of me is to email or text message, as I am on the phone very
frequently. Okay?
You have a great evening and we will talk soon.
Thank you, goodbye.

Common Questions and Responses
How long will this take?
The timeline varies by lender, but we typically receive updates every 7-10 days. The lender will tell you that it can take up to 90 days to fully complete, but usually does not take that long.
We'll keep you informed throughout the entire process via email.
Can I just call you with questions?
Email and text are best because we're often on the phone with lenders. You'll get a faster response that way, and it gives us a written record. All contact info is in your welcome email.
I did not get the welcome email
Please check your junk/spam folder first. If it's not there within 24 hours of this call, please call us back at 888-897-2285 and we'll resend it immediately.
What about my processing payments, does that go to the lender?
We do not handle processing payments here. Please direct any payment related questions to your agent, [SALES AGENT NAME].
Am I not supposed to talk to my lender?
You are absolutely able to answer your lender's call. We never want to tell you not to talk to them. The only issue that may arise is if you tell them something other than what we have, or there is something different in your file that we did not know. This can result in a denial and/or HUGE delays. You can talk to them, but please be sure to limit the conversation to YOU asking 2 questions: 1) do I have a foreclosure sale date and 2) what is the status of my modification review?
What if I get a sale date?
NOTIFY US IMMEDIATELY so we have time to stop it. If you do get one, we just need to know so we can get ahead of it. Your agent can answer any questions regarding sale date workflows and what happens if you get one.
Notes for CS Reps
Key Reminders:
- ELEVATE YOUR VOICE. Do not sound monotone or uninterested
- Speak clearly and at a moderate pace; if you are unfamiliar with something, put them on hold and ask, do not guess
- DO NOT CALL THEM BEFORE YOU HAVE ALL OF YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW. We will look incompetent. Make sure you know their name(s), the agent names, and the branch you are calling from
- Confirm client heard and understood, ASK IF THEY HAVE QUESTIONS
- Always read email addresses slowly for voicemail, repeat your phone number SLOWLY for voicemails left
- Be warm and reassuring - clients are often stressed about their situation
- If client seems confused, offer to repeat any section
