Freedom Mortgage Corp. and RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing Corp. have completed their previously announced merger. RoundPoint is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Freedom Mortgage.
Founded in 2007, RoundPoint services and subservices approximately $75 billion in unpaid principal balance of mortgages comprising primarily agency loans. As a result of the merger, Freedom Mortgage’s combined owned and subserviced mortgage servicing rights portfolio is now approximately $310 billion of UPB. The merger also provides Freedom Mortgage with an active subservicing platform and broadens the scope of the company’s co-issue origination network.
“Our transition to the Freedom family has been a great move for us,” says Kevin Brungardt, CEO of RoundPoint. “By combining our unique strengths, resources and expertise, we will realize major operational benefits. Together, we look forward to setting a new standard for mortgage servicing excellence.”
“We are delighted that RoundPoint is now officially part of the Freedom family,” says Stan Middleman, CEO of Freedom Mortgage. “RoundPoint brings over 378,000 new customers to the Freedom ecosystem, and we look forward to the opportunity to make them customers for life. We are excited about the new opportunities that lie ahead.”
