The residential mortgage industry has seen a big rise in non-bank lenders this year, but PNC Bank never got the memo; business expanded throughout the year and is poised for growth.
Realtor® Magazine spoke with Pete Boomer, Executive Vice President of mortgage originations at PNC Bank, N.A. to find out what’s new at PNC and what it has planned for next year.
Behind its success is a wide array of products. The company last year was an early adopter of the “3 percent down” mortgage products rolled out by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and continues to be a major FHA lender—one of the few large banks still doing a lot of loans with the agency.
For customers who don’t fit neatly into FHA or Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac products, the company also has its own affordable 97 percent loan-to-value program, which gives underwriters the flexibility to look at nontraditional credit history criteria such as past rental payments in accessing the applicant’s ability to repay.
To improve the loan applicants’ experience, the company is doing a full underwriting within three days of receiving loan applications and has rolled out online tools—Home Insight® Tracker and PNC AgentView®—to make it easier for applicants and real estate agents to follow what’s happening throughout the processing period.
