The acquisition is expected to position Stavvy as a leader in the sector and enable the company to provide a more dynamic and streamlined experience for its consumers.
Stavvy, based in Boston, plans to deliver a comprehensive solution that covers every critical stage of default servicing, from the initial homeowner inquiry to the ultimate resolution. The company’s team of industry experts, along with investments in generative AI and customizable workflows, aims to reduce the reliance on antiquated mortgage processes and revolutionize the experience for all stakeholders involved.
With the combined skills and resources of both companies, servicers and homeowners will have access to a more comprehensive and integrated servicing experience.
