In Brief: Wis. Lender's Site Gives Access to Fannie System

GN Mortgage, a unit of Guaranty Bank here, has augmented its Web site to give its brokers direct access to Freddie Mac's automated underwriting system.

Brokers on the site can use GN's seller-servicer number to send data on a loan to Freddie's Loan Prospector. The decision will be zapped directly to the broker through the Internet.

Brokers who use the site to get a loan approved by Loan Prospector will have to sell the loan to GN to use the approval certificate, said Kim C. Newby, president of GN Mortgage.

Giving brokers access to automated underwriting will help GN capture more volume, Ms. Newby said. She noted that her company is closed after 5 p.m. and on weekends, but Loan Prospector runs 15 hours a day Monday through Saturday, and nine hours a day Sunday.
