Houston-based Stewart Lender Services (SLS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Stewart Title Company, has implemented a new enterprise-wide business model that strategically realigns its service offerings and opened four new customer support centers, the company announced at the Mortgage Bankers Association’s annual convention in San Diego Monday.

Company officials say the new SLS will better support national lenders, investors, and servicers throughout the lifecycle of a mortgage loan.

“Stewart has made a significant commitment to our continued growth in serving the real estate finance market,” said Jason Nadeau, SLS president and CEO. “Our challenge was to build a full suite of services for the lender without creating the separate silos that are often found in companies such as ours. We have been able to blend and integrate those competencies into cost-effective, fluid performance. We now can provide sound customer solutions from origination all the way through to asset disposition.”

The company has added business centers in Dallas; San Diego; Irvine, California; and Phoenix to augment existing operations in Houston and Tampa. Additionally, a loss mitigation call center in San Diego supplements the Houston call center, and existing asset management operations in Tampa have been bolstered by a new Irvine-based operation.
