Why the change?

At First Home Mortgage, we remain focused on delivering exceptional service and exceeding your expectations each step of the way. We believe the transition to the new First Home servicing center will help ensure swift, reliable support from people who genuinely care about your continued success in homeownership. You'll also gain easy access to new resources geared to make homeownership easy. We are excited to upgrade your day-to-day experience!

What does a loan servicer do?

In general, you can expect a loan servicer to:

• Send monthly mortgage statements.
• Apply your mortgage payments in a timely manner.
• Manage your escrow account, if you have one—including paying your tax and/or insurance bills on your behalf when they are due and reviewing your account at least annually.
• Provide year-end statements such as the 1098 Mortgage Interest Statement each year.

But to us, loan servicing means so much more. We'll go the extra mile to keep you happy and help you achieve your homeownership goals. We are eager to serve you!

After your transfer date of July 1, 2024, you need to:

• Begin contacting our new servicing with inquiries regarding your mortgage. After June 30, our prior servicing center will no longer be able to access your mortgage, receive payments, or otherwise assist with your loan.
  
  
• Set up your new online account beginning July 5: See Getting Started Online FAQs below for details and step-by-step instructions, and click here to register beginning July 5.
  
  
• Begin using our New Ways to Pay.
  
  
• If you have automatic payments set up with our prior servicing center, click here for important information.
  
  
• If you use a third-party bill pay service, update your payment settings to ensure your payment is sent to First Home Mortgage as follows:

First Home Mortgage
PO Box 660217
Dallas, TX 75266-0217.

• Confirm your contact preferences are up to date.

Have my autopay settings continued after my transfer date, or do I need to set it up again?

If your loan is set up for monthly automatic payments with our prior servicing center, meaning one recurring ACH draft each month, these payment settings have transferred to our new servicing center. Please note, if your payments are normally scheduled to draft on or before the 9th day of each month, expect your July payment to occur on July 9th. It will not be considered late. Your normal draft schedule will resume after July 9th. 

Automatic payments set up to draft more than once per month did not transfer to our new servicing center - for example, Flex Drafts (1st and 15th of each month), biweekly, weekly, etc. To reestablish automatic payments with our new servicing center, please call our new servicing center for information and eligibility requirements. We'll be eager to help! Information is also available here.

Will my autopay draft schedule change?

While your July payment may draft later than usual due to the transfer, your existing automatic payment schedule will not change after the transfer.

If your monthly automatic payment is scheduled to draft on or before the 9th day of each month, please expect to see that your July payment has posted by July 9th. It will not be considered late.

Your normal recurring monthly draft schedule will resume after July 9th. 

How can I review and change my automatic payment settings after the transfer?

Beginning July 5, you can log into your new online account to confirm or update your autopay settings. If you prefer to do this by phone, your new support team will be happy to help—please call 855.704.3830.

When and how can I access my mortgage online?

You can set up your new online account beginning July 5. Our secure and easy-to-use website and LoanNav app provide 24/7 access to your mortgage, wherever you go.

You can see your new loan number, review complete details of your loan, set up and manage automatic payments (recurring monthly or biweekly ACH drafts), quickly make or schedule one-time payments, access future statements and other documents, opt in for paperless statements, see your payment history, review escrow account activity, message with our team members, and more!

Can I still access my old online account?

After June 30, 2024, you should have limited access to your prior online account for one year to view past billing statements and other loan documents sent by our prior servicing center.

You will need to set up your new online account beginning July 5 in order to: make or schedule online payments; view up-to-date loan information such as your balance, payment history, and escrow account information; access new billing statements; and more.

Will my escrow account transfer?

Yes. Effective July 1, we will pay your tax and/or insurance bills from your escrow account on your behalf when they are due. 

As your mortgage servicer, we will review your account at least annually and inform you of any necessary changes to your payment in the event your tax and/or insurance expenses change.

Beginning July 5, you will be able to view your up-to-date escrow account details on our secure website and app anytime.

Do I need to tell my insurance company about the transfer?

Your insurance company will be notified to update the mortgagee clause in your policy to the address below. The mortgagee clause lets your insurance provider know where to send premium notices, bills, funds in the event of a claim, etc.

I just received a property tax bill and have an escrow account. What do I do next?

Simply mail or fax your tax bill to the address below and include your loan number on the bill.

I am behind on my mortgage payments. What should I expect after the transfer?

If you are experiencing financial hardship, we’re here to help. Here’s a summary of what to expect beginning on your transfer date:

• Our Homeowner Assistance Team will gain full access to your mortgage by July 10, and at that time we’ll be able to fully assist with and answer questions specific to your mortgage.
  
  
• Soon after your transfer date, we may mail a Validation of Debt letter to your mailing address on file. We are required by law to mail this letter, which will include the amount owed on your loan.
  
  
• In mid-July, a member of our Homeowner Assistance Team will call you by phone to welcome you and discuss mortgage assistance options available, if applicable. If you are already on or have applied for mortgage assistance, we will review the status of your application and details with you.
  
  
• Your first billing statement from our new servicing center will be mailed and available to you online before your August payment is due.

We are eager to be a resource for you. Please contact us after your transfer date and any time you have questions moving forward.

I was about to apply for mortgage assistance. Should I wait until after the transfer?

No, you do not need to wait to apply for mortgage assistance due to your loan transferring to our new servicing center. If you submit an application in June, your application will be transferred to us effective July 1.

I already started an application for mortgage assistance. Will I need to start over?

No. If you are already in the process of applying for mortgage assistance with our prior servicing center, you will not need to reapply once your loan transfers. We will contact you in July to welcome you and review the details of your application.

If you need to send documents or have questions about the status of your application, please contact our Homeowner Assistance Team beginning July 10. This will allow time for us to verify your loan and application details.

Will my current mortgage assistance plan change when my loan transfers?

If you have already been approved for or are on an active plan – such as a forbearance (including pandemic or natural disaster forbearance), repayment plan, or loan modification trial – the terms will not change due to the transfer. We will contact you to talk about next steps.

Who can I contact after my loan transfers?

If you have questions connected to your financial hardship and mortgage, please reach out to our Homeowner Assistance Team at 855.704.3828. We look forward to supporting you.
