A primary servicer is generally responsible for collecting loan
payments from borrowers, performing property inspections and other
property-related activities. A master servicer typically serves in
a fiduciary capacity and is generally responsible for collecting
cash and data from primary servicers and then providing that cash
and data, through trustees, to investors. Unless otherwise noted,
MBA tabulations that combine different roles do not double-count
loans for which a single servicer performs multiple roles.
Wachovia, Midland/PNC, Capmark, and Wells Fargo are servicers of
commercial/multifamily loans in U.S. CMBS, CDO and other ABS. GEMSA
Loan Services, Prudential Asset Resources, Midland Loan
Services/PNC Real Estate Finance and NorthMarq Capital are
servicers for life companies. Midland/PNC, Wachovia, Deutsche Bank,
and Capmark are Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac servicers.
Wachovia ranks in the report as the top master and primary
servicer of commercial bank and savings institution loans; GEMSA
the top credit company, pension funds, REITs and investment funds
servicer; Capmark the top FHA and Ginnie Mae servicer; Wachovia the
top for warehouse loans; and Capmark the top for other investor
type loans.
MBA also asked firms to provide information about CMBS loans on
which they are the "named special servicer" - that is, where the
firm stands ready to service the loan should special problems
develop, such as delinquency. The leading named special servicers
were LNR Partners, CWCapital, Centerline Servicing Inc. and
Midland/PNC. The MBA survey also collected servicing volumes for
loans on commercial/multifamily properties located outside the
United States. Capmark ranks as the largest master and primary
servicer of non-U.S. commercial/multifamily mortgages, followed by
Hatfield Philips International, Deutsche Bank and Midland Loan
Services/PNC Real Estate Finance.
