Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group has announced that it has enhanced its risk management policies and procedures governing its retail mortgage lending business by requiring independent screening and risk monitoring for all settlement agents having access to a borrower’s loan documents and mortgage proceeds, a process that will be managed by Secure Settlements Inc., d/b/a Secure Insight. Gold Star Mortgage chose the ClosingGuard tool to evaluate the backgrounds, licensing, insurance, and trust accounts of agents as a method to identify potential threats before a closing takes place.

ClosingGuard evaluates, rates, monitors and reports settlement gent risk in real time in the only nationwide database of mortgage closing professionals. The Secure Insight proprietary evaluation process combines automated data analysis with live reviews by trained analysts for the most accurate and informative risk analytics in the industry.

“We are pleased and honored to have been chosen by Gold Star Mortgage for these critical risk management services," said Secure Insight Chief Operating Officer Wayne Doctor. "In our extensive dealings with their leadership team we saw first-hand their serious commitment to quality control, consumer protection and overall loan quality assurance. We are proud to be their partner in this important endeavor.”
