“Our role goes far beyond reviewing loan files. We help our clients work smarter,” said Jon Gerretsen, Senior Managing Director, Head of Residential New Originations & Fulfillment Services at SitusAMC. “By combining deep data insights, reporting transparency, and a dedicated team model, we enable buyers and aggregators to work with their sellers to improve loan quality at the source, increasing pull through rates, decreasing diligence timelines, and driving better outcomes across the entire transaction lifecycle.”

Driving Operational Efficiency Through Data and Partnership

SitusAMC’s due diligence platform integrates data, reporting, and experience to deliver measurable operational efficiency. Because of the sheer scale of SitusAMC’s operation, the firm is able to provide actionable insights that help clients identify opportunities to improve loan sourcing strategies and strengthen seller relationships. This includes benchmarking loan quality, tracking exception trends, and delivering targeted recommendations to enhance performance.

“Our platform gives clients a level of visibility they simply can’t get elsewhere,” said Gerretsen. “By connecting loan-level data to seller performance, we’re able to deliver insights that drive smarter sourcing decisions and stronger counterparty relationships. These insights also help sellers identify improvements in their operations which ultimately lead to increased liquidity and profitability.”

Enabling Better Loan Quality at the Source

SitusAMC’s dedicated team model and “white glove” advisory approach have helped clients significantly improve loan file quality over time. Over a two-year period, SitusAMC’s dedicated team model, leveraging data-driven insights, coaching, and seller engagement strategies, helped clients increase A-rated loans upon initial review by ~36%.

“Our goal is simple: cleaner, more complete loan files at submission,” added Chris Garland, Director, New Originations & Credit Services at SitusAMC. “By helping our clients educate and enable their sellers, we reduce friction, accelerate execution timelines, and ultimately improve transaction certainty and quality. We help our clients produce cleaner loans which in turn yield higher returns in loan sales and securitizations. These outcomes help turn working with SitusAMC into a competitive differentiator and profit maximizer.”

Sustained Momentum into 2026

SitusAMC’s momentum has continued into 1Q 2026, with highlights including ~225,000 loan file review scopes completed and 103 rated securitizations (~75% of total transactions by number) supported.
