Lending Solutions (ULS) #41 among the top 100 job creating
companies in America. This award is given to businesses that have generated

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-right:7.45pt&quot;&gt;About ULS -- ULS is
based in Pittsburgh, PA with additional offices

Plus member designation from the National Minority
Supplier Development Council (NMSDC),
distinguishing itself as the nation&#039;s largest
minority-owned mortgage solutions business. Many Corporate Plus members, including financial &amp;nbsp;institutions, &amp;nbsp;keep track of what they spend with diverse
suppliers, &amp;nbsp;and ULS&#039; MBE status currently provides added value to five &amp;nbsp;of the top
&amp;nbsp;10 &amp;nbsp;largest &amp;nbsp;U.S. banks &amp;nbsp;ranked
&amp;nbsp;by the market, helping to meet the banks&#039; supplier diversity goals as well as boost their delivery performance in today&#039;s economic
and regulatory climate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-right:7.45pt&quot;&gt;Mr. Sanders
believes in continuing
to partner and support the NMSDC and the local councils, like the Rocky Mountain Minority Supplier Development Council (RMMSDC).
These national and local councils&#039; sole purpose is to help MBEs that are
for profit firms at least 51 percent owned by minorities develop business relations with large organizations. From 2011to this year&#039;s fourth quarter, ULS has increased its diverse spend by 25 percent, and ULS is committed
to increasing spend with diverse suppliers annually.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-right:7.45pt&quot;&gt;Learn more about Urban Lending

       <title>Inc. 500 Hire Power Awards Names Urban Lending Solutions as Top 100 Job Creating Company in Country</title>
       <link>http://urban-ls.com/article/103</link>
       <description>&lt;p class=&quot;BasicParagraph&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Inc. Magazine Introduces the Inc. Hire Power Awards honoring

America&#039;s top job creators, recognizing Urban Lending Solutions (ULS) among the
top 100 job creating companies in America by ranking ULS #41.&amp;nbsp; This award is&amp;nbsp;given to small and mid-sized
businesses that have generated the most jobs in the past three years, and as a
multi-million dollar company, listed as the #1 Minority Business Enterprise
(MBE) in job growth, and one of the largest employers in Broomfield, CO, ULS is experiencing sustainable
growth; which in turn, is creating a lot of jobs.&amp;nbsp; As a result of being one of the country’s
premier providers of customized mortgage solutions from loan fulfillment
through loss mitigation, ULS has found itself in the very fortunate position of
being able to create jobs for this country, planning to hire more people in the
months to come.&amp;nbsp;&lt;img class=&quot;shadowing&quot; src=&quot;../../../images/newsletters/HIPAheadline.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; style=&quot;margin: 8px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

aimed solely at CEOs of fast-growing private companies. The top 100 Hire Power
Award winners nationwide will appear in Inc.&#039;s

adds winners within regional and industry categories.&amp;nbsp; The top 100 companies on the list have
created 73,032 jobs in the three-year period from 2008 to 2011, which is
outstanding being that these companies thrived during the midst of the greatest
financial melt-down and global recession.&amp;nbsp;
ULS is consistently, year after year, listed in the Inc. 500 list as being one of the fastest-growing private companies
in the United States.&lt;br&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;The

American companies that have greatly increased their workforces. Inc.&#039;s Hire Power Awards celebrates
private companies on the forefront of American job creation, giving these
businesses the recognition they deserve.&lt;br&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;shadowing&quot; src=&quot;../../../images/HirePower.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; style=&quot;margin: 8px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;To

awards dinner at the Mead Center in Washington D.C. on the night of December 6,
where editor-in-chief, Eric Schurenberg, congratulated many of the winning
CEOs from around the country. Schurenberg and Bank of America&#039;s Fab Brumley
presented the &amp;nbsp;awards to each of the companies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;About ULS - ULS is based in Pittsburgh, PA with additional offices in Broomfield
and Littleton, CO. Inc. 500 recognized ULS’ achievements by giving ULS an overall ranking of No. 205 in its list of
fastest-growing private companies; No. 15 within the financial services
industry. For the fourth consecutive year, Black
Enterprise Magazine’s BE 100 list of the largest black-owned businesses in
the United States, names ULS as one of their top companies.&amp;nbsp; Ernst
&amp;amp; Young, LLP, announced Chuck Sanders, Founder and CEO, &amp;nbsp;as the winner
for the Ernst &amp;amp; Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2012 Award, and Mr. Sanders was also named one of the top 10 black
entrepreneurs in the nation by Inc 500.&lt;br&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Through its subsidiary, Urban Lending Solutions

valuations of collateral.&lt;br&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;BasicParagraph&quot;&gt;Beyond corporate citizenship, ULS nurtures community citizenship and

programs. These charitable contributions are an extension of the over-arching
values at ULS of excellence, teamwork, and dedication. ULS’ support of
community-level and world-wide charitable contributions fosters these same
values in the youth they serve, while benefitting customer’s local communities
on a measurable scale. ULS earned the Corporate Plus

solutions business.&amp;nbsp; Learn more about Urban Lending Solutions at www.urban-ls.com or

       <title>Local Company and Council Team up to Walk Their Talk</title>
       <link>http://urban-ls.com/article/98</link>
       <description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The election is approaching and the economy
and jobs are at the forefront of everyone’s minds.&amp;nbsp; Banks and mortgage companies have dominated
the headlines and still face many challenges with changing regulations, new
channels and products like HAMP (Home Assistance Modification Program) and HARP
2 (Home Affordable Refinance Program).&amp;nbsp;
These new products are creating an evolving customer base, so financial
institutions are tasked with adapting and redeploying their workforce quickly
to meet these challenges to stay ahead of the competition.&amp;nbsp; Politicians, President Barack Obama, and
presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, are talking about equal opportunity
through education and other governmental programs.&amp;nbsp; With all the advertisements about whether or
not the economy is improving, many of us welcome positive news about growth,
jobs, news about Americans being able to stay in their homes, and yes, equal
opportunity for all.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;BasicParagraph&quot;&gt;One local company,
Urban lending Solutions (ULS), along with a local non-profit, the Rocky
Mountain&amp;nbsp; Minority Supplier Development
Council (RMSDC), is not only &amp;nbsp;‘talking
the talk’ about all of the above, they are ‘walking the walk’.&amp;nbsp; First, let us introduce ULS, ULS has offices in Broomfield and Littleton, CO, and has
a reputation for developing quality organizational solutions used to solve
complex business problems for many national banks. Additionally, ULS provides direct customer-related
business process outsourcing for major commercial banks, which eventually
trickles down to the hard-hit borrowers who need to make decisions about their
loans.&amp;nbsp; ULS handles the back office work
for the banks’ new, evolving products mentioned above (HAMP AND HARP2), which
potentially help folks stay in their homes, among other mortgage services from
origination fulfillment to loss mitigation.&amp;nbsp;
Since 2008, ULS has processed nearly four million mortgage-related
transactions and is one of the leading professional services providers to the
mortgage industry.&amp;nbsp; ULS is the largest employer in Broomfield and has experienced
incredible, sustainable growth; which in turn, is creating a lot of jobs here
in Colorado.&amp;nbsp; In the second half of 2012,
ULS added 600 employees.&amp;nbsp; Today, at the
start of fourth quarter, ULS has grown to 2,000 plus employees; that is approximately
3,603 percent employee growth in less
than six months.&amp;nbsp; As a result, ULS
has found itself in the very fortunate position of being able to create jobs
for this country, and ULS plans to hire more people in the months to come.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;BasicParagraph&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;In 1998, ULS was founded and earned the
Corporate Plus member designation from the National Minority Supplier
Development Council (NMSDC), distinguishing itself as the nation’s largest
minority-owned mortgage solutions business. Before then, Charles “Chuck”
Sanders started Urban Settlement Services, LLC, which was originally founded as
a title and settlement services company.&amp;nbsp;
Mr. Sanders talks about the days when he opened shop in Pittsburgh, PA
in a small building that was once a hair salon.&amp;nbsp;
Mr. Sanders stresses the importance of being a Minority Business
Enterprise (MBE) because ULS’ MBE status helped him develop the relationship he
currently has with one of the largest banks in the nation, helping the bank
meet their supplier diversity goals, and grow ULS to what it is today; a
multi-million dollar company that was listed as the &lt;font face=&quot;Trade Gothic LT Std Cn, sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;#1 MBE in job growth in 2011&lt;/font&gt;.&amp;nbsp;
Mr. Sanders believes in continuing to partner and support the NMSDC and
the local councils, like the RMSDC.&amp;nbsp; These
national and local councils’ sole purpose is to help MBEs that are for profit
firms at least 51 percent owned by minorities (and the minority owners need to
be involved in the day-to-day operations) develop business relations with large
organizations.&amp;nbsp; Today, ULS is focusing on
making its supplier diversity program the best in the country because Mr.
Sanders believes strongly in helping other MBEs achieve and experience the
success that he has himself achieved. &lt;span class=&quot;googqs-tidbit&quot;&gt;From 2011 to
this year’s fourth quarter, ULS has increased
its diverse spend by 25 percent, and ULS is committed to increasing spend with
diverse suppliers annually&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/w:wrap&gt;&lt;/v:imagedata&gt;&lt;/v:shape&gt;As a Corporate Plus member with the National Minority Business
Enterprise, ULS has sponsored several events through the RMSDC to bring
opportunities for other MBEs.&amp;nbsp; This past
July, ULS sponsored the RMSDC’s Growth Through Partnership event; and as a
result, two MBEs have signed contracts to be suppliers for ULS.&amp;nbsp; The role of the supplier diversity department
at ULS is to identify qualified suppliers and to ensure the inclusion of not
only minorities through the RMSDC, but also woman and veteran-owned businesses
in the competitive bidding process where possible at ULS.&amp;nbsp; ULS is a
company built on excellence, dedication and teamwork, and ULS’ success is based
solely on the quality of its services; however, ULS’ MBE status provides additional
benefits to clients with supplier diversity programs.&amp;nbsp; Because of ULS&#039;s dedication to diversity, ULS
is in a position to demonstrate that an MBE can be a premier provider of
residential and commercial outsourced fulfillment and settlement services to
the mortgage origination and servicing industry.&amp;nbsp; The RMSDC helps ULS communicate its goals to
MBEs through matchmaking and networking events designed to match corporate
entities, like ULS, with MBE-certified companies.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The RMSDC offers a formalized certification
program that documents legitimacy and compliance with minority businesses for
its corporate partners such as ULS.&amp;nbsp; The
NMSDC sets the standards for the certification criteria that RMSDC regulates
locally.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The NMSDC holds an annual conference, the 2012 NMSDC Conference and
Business Opportunity Fair; and this year, the event is in Denver to be held October 28 – 31, at the Colorado Convention Center.
MBEs can visit ULS at booth number 1511 and 1513 and the RMSDC at booth number 501
to see for themselves, ULS and RMSDC’s key influencers involved with helping
MBEs and corporate members meet their supplier diversity goals.&amp;nbsp; ULS is a large supporter of the NMSDC and
hosts an annual event to celebrate all of its members.&amp;nbsp; This year’s theme is MBE Mile High
Masquerade, Tuesday, October 30 from 9 pm to 2 am at Beta Nightclub.&amp;nbsp; MBEs can join ULS and other Corporate Plus members
dedicated to bringing all NMSDC members together to celebrate the cause.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;While we are faced with
the upcoming election and listen to the challenges of improving the economy,
increasing employment, and creating a culture of inclusion, where the goal is

       <title>Expert: Minority Enterprises Must Focus on Quality First</title>
       <link>http://urban-ls.com/article/59</link>
       <description>
&lt;img class=&quot;shadowing&quot; src=&quot;../../../images/photobank/pittsburgh/ULSPitt-13.jpg&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; style=&quot;margin: 8px;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BROOMFIELD, Colo. | February 11, 2011&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Minority Enterprises Must Focus on Quality First&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even as more institutions across the country earmark budgets specific for diversity spending, at 
least one executive charged with increasing his firm&#039;s diversity spend is urging owners and 
managers of minority enterprises to focus not on their minority status but rather on the quality of 
their output.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;T.J. Lewis, Corporate Diversity and Business Development Executive at Urban Lending 
Solutions, the fastest growing minority-owned enterprise in the nation according to Black 
Entrepreneur magazine, made the comment at a recent industry conference. Lewis recently saw 
his role expanded to include a new focus on diversity, leading the company into new contracts 
with major banks and bringing new minority suppliers into the company&#039;s service.
Lewis contends that it is not enough to simply brand a company as a diverse supplier if that 
company does not provide a needed service. For any company to be successful, it must have a 
quality business solution at its core. To find out more, schedule an interview with Mr. Lewis by 
calling Jodee Bennett, VP of Marketing, 720-445-3166. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

       <title>ULS Ramps Up Support For HARP 2.0 Program</title>
       <link>http://urban-ls.com/article/49</link>
       <description>
&lt;img class=&quot;shadowing&quot; src=&quot;../../../images/photobank/denver/ULSDenver-93.jpg&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; style=&quot;margin: 8px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BROOMFIELD, Colo. | December 16, 2011&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Urban Lending Solutions (ULS), a provider of premier residential and commercial outsource fulfillment and settlement services to the mortgage origination and servicing industry, announced today that the company has shifted internal resources to provide more support to lenders and servicers that will capitalize on the new streamlined Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is going to be a great opportunity for the nations homeowners, said Mike Forgas, President of Urban Lending Solutions. The new guidelines will allow more borrowers to qualify and this will lead to an increase in refinance activity. Banks may not be staffed to handle this increase and they are reaching out to qualified partners to help support and streamline the HARP 2.0 refinance process. We have been very successful supporting our existing clients with the HARP process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The original goal of the HARP program was to allow underwater borrowers to refinance. However, strict guidelines prevented many homeowners who wanted to refinance from
qualifying. Under HARP 2.0, these restrictions have been relaxed and the processing has been streamlined. Many industry experts expect the program to result in a wave of new refinances. However, industry guidance from the former GSEs has thus far been sketchy, leading many lenders to seek out professional support for their upcoming HARP 2.0 programs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is an excellent opportunity for banks to meet their annual corporate diversity goals at the same time they significantly expand their refinance business, if they partner with a qualified Minority Business Enterprise, said Thomas T.J. Lewis, Corporate Diversity and Business Development Executive for ULS. We have a proven team that is already working with some of the nations largest lenders and servicers and we are an MBE. It makes us a perfect choice for this program.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our experienced team of mortgage professionals will allow us to help our lender partners move quickly to secure this new business, said Penny Nelson, Vice President of Mortgage Services Operations for ULS. We have Urban University, and a dedicated training team that allows us to get our staff up to speed very quickly on the banks technology platform.&lt;/p&gt;

Thomas &quot;T.J.&quot; Lewis, Jr. has accepted an expanded role within the company as Corporate
Diversity and Business Development Executive. Lewis has been actively involved in business
development for the company since 2009. In 2012, Lewis will expand his role with a new
focus on diversity, leading the company into new contracts with major banks and bringing new
minority suppliers into the company&#039;s service.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;T.J. is a proven executive who will succeed in this role through his dedication to our clients, his
consultative sales skills, and his understanding of the mortgage business,&quot; said Mike Forgas,
President of Urban Lending Solutions. &quot;He will be an excellent resource for banks seeking to
diversify their spending and has already proven an excellent mentor to minority enterprises
entering our&lt;/p&gt; marketplace. He&#039;s the perfect executive for this new role.&quot;

&lt;p&gt;Prior to joining Urban Lending Solutions, Lewis spent 14 years in the financial services
business, primarily with Bank of America. He served as a Supplier Relationship Development
Manager in the Supply Chain Management unit of the bank, where he increased business and
developed relationships with diverse suppliers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While at BofA, Lewis received the Six Sigma Green Belt Certification for managing a project that
saved the bank more than $1 million annually. In addition, he worked with Commercial Bank
middle market companies with annual sales greater than $20 million that were based in Florida,
Virginia, and Maryland.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Previously, as head of business development, Lewis helped lead Urban Lending Solutions to
achieve unprecedented growth despite a challenging environment for the mortgage business.
Today, the company is listed on the Inc. 500 and has been named the fastest-growing company
in the nation by Black Enterprise magazine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;My goal is for Urban Lending to be the model Minority Business Enterprise (MBE),&quot; Lewis
said. &quot;We&#039;re in a position in the industry to demonstrate that MBEs can be the premier providers
in their niches. We hold that position today and we can lead other companies to do the same in
their own businesses.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PITTSBURGH, Penn. | November 18, 2011&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Just weeks after joining the company as Chief Strategy Officer, Forgas is tapped for top role.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Urban Lending Solutions, a provider of premier&amp;nbsp;residential and commercial mortgage products and services and one of the fastest growing&amp;nbsp;private businesses in America, has announced that Michael Forgas has been promoted to&amp;nbsp;president. The settlement services industry leader recently joined the company as chief strategy&amp;nbsp;officer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;I am confident that Mike will continue to grow this company,&quot; said Chuck Sanders, chief&amp;nbsp;executive officer and founder of Urban Lending Solutions. &quot;He has the experience and industry&amp;nbsp;connections to grow our existing lines of business and diversify our client base. This is a very&amp;nbsp;exciting time for our company.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Forgas is the former long-term CEO of National Real Estate Information Services, and was&amp;nbsp;successful in growing it into a nationally recognized leader in the title, appraisal, and settlement&amp;nbsp;services business.&amp;nbsp;&quot;I was pleased with my former role as head of the company&#039;s strategy for development,&quot; Forgas&amp;nbsp;said. &quot;But as soon as we got to the table to begin the work of assessing our strengths and&amp;nbsp;planning our strategy, it became clear that I could serve the company better as president. I am&amp;nbsp;proud to take on that role.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Forgas has been very active in issues facing the residential real estate service&#039;s industry&amp;nbsp;through the Title/Appraisal Vendor Management Association (TAVMA) and the Real Estate&amp;nbsp;Service&#039;s Providers Council (RESPRO). He is a past president of TAVMA and has been a&amp;nbsp;member of its executive committee since its formation. He is also a member of the RESPRO&amp;nbsp;Board of Directors. Forgas graduated from West Virginia University, magna cum laude, in 1981.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

       <title>ULS CEO and Industry Leader Acquire RealtyData</title>
       <link>http://urban-ls.com/article/53</link>
       <description>&lt;img class=&quot;shadowing&quot; src=&quot;../../../images/photobank/pittsburgh/ULS2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; style=&quot;margin: 8px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PITTSBURGH, Penn. | October 25, 2011&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Charles Sanders, the founder of Urban Lending Solutions,
a provider of premier residential and commercial mortgage products and services and one of
the fastest growing private businesses in America, has teamed up with settlement services
industry veteran Michael Forgas, formerly CEO of National Real Estate Information Services
(NREIS), to acquire RealtyData, a provider of unique title search productivity solutions. Sanders
will serve as President and will hold a majority interest in the company and Forgas will serve as
chief executive officer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;The technology that RealtyData has developed is very exciting and will change the way the title
industry operates,&quot; Sanders said. &quot;That made the company a good investment at this time. I&#039;ve
known Mike for many years and look forward to working with him.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
RealtyData technology allows title companies to automate title searches in 900 counties across
the nation. In addition, a quality control engine can perform automated quality control on the
resulting title commitments, reducing title agent expenses significantly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&quot;The title industry has been slow to adapt to technological change, but economic pressure
is forcing title agents to seek out tools that will allow them to provide their services more
efficiently,&quot; Forgas said. &quot;Our technology allows title agents to not only be more efficient but also
improve quality and at favorable prices. We must not forget about quality, especially in this time
of significantly increased regulatory oversight.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Sanders said he and Forgas will first focus on penetrating deeper into RealtyData&#039;s existing
client base, moving good customers beyond simple searches and into the company&#039;s
quality control solution. For more information about the company, visit the website at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realtydata.com&quot;&gt;http://www.realtydata.com/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

       <title>Urban Lending Solutions Taps FNC for Technology</title>
       <link>http://urban-ls.com/article/47</link>
       <description>&lt;p&gt;The firm&#039;s collateral valuation division will use FNC’s appraisal management software.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Broomfield, Colo.-- April 25, 2011--&lt;/strong&gt;Urban Lending Solutions Appraisals LLC (ULSA), a&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;subsidiary of Urban Lending Solutions, has licensed FNC, Inc. technology to streamline&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;appraisal compliance and provide a top-notch workflow solution to its clients.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Urban Lending Solutions Appraisals (ULSA) inked a deal for FNC’s Collateral Management&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;System® (CMS®), an extensive workflow and vendor management platform. FNC’s CMS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;includes the Generally Accepted Appraisal Rules™ (GAAR®) Compliance Series, a component&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of the system that provides a consistent and automated review of each transaction, flagging&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;violations that may indicate undue risk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“This deal was an opportunity for us to demonstrate our commitment to our clients and&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;appraisers by providing them with leading-edge technology,” said Scot Rose, President and&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chief Valuation Officer for ULSA. “Our aim was to help them become more productive at a&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;time when generating revenue is difficult and every dollar counts. Improvements to our back&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;office benefit our clients every day. They gain because their valuations are more accurate and&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that keeps them in compliance with their investors. In addition, the standardized API makes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;integration with other FNC platforms a streamlined process and is a great value when working&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;with other FNC clients.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The system documents the entire process, helps ensure appraiser independence and&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;compliance with USPAP standards, and highlights potential appraisal or appraiser-related&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;red flags. In addition, FNC technology automates vendor management, ordering and delivery&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of appraisals, and provides easy, secure communication with ULSA’s appraisers through&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AppraisalPort.com.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We saw ULSA’s potential for continued growth in the next few years, their commitment to&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;customer service, and their commitment to building a long-term business -- not to mention&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that their parent company is one of the fastest growing companies in the mortgage business -&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- as compelling reasons to work closely together,” said Mike Mitchell, Chief Strategy Officer at&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;FNC. “ULSA has a deep understanding of the mortgage process from origination through the&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;secondary markets. Throughout the life of the loan, they are committed to providing innovative,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;cost effective solutions.”&lt;/p&gt;
