Founded in early 2008, Fay Servicing is committed to providing innovative servicing solutions for both residential and business purpose loans. As a specialty mortgage servicer who sees the customer behind every loan, we understand that our customers are not loan numbers — they’re homeowners.

Before founding our company, we conducted an exhaustive analysis of the mortgage servicing industry and gained valuable insight into the problems facing mortgage servicers and their customers. With that insight, we set out to build a different kind of servicing company from the ground up.
