What’s Awesome About Your GAP Program?
Is your GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) program exceeding goals and delivering the bottom line results you want?
Does your staff clearly understand what the benefits are (and are not) and able to fully explain to your borrowers?
Maybe, but probably not. That’s why you’re here.
While GAP is now a “mature” product, there are still misconceptions.
Surprisingly, they can leave both your borrowers and institution open to potential liability and losses.
These “unknown unknowns” shocked even us, an organization associated with GAP programs for many years.
It’s why we put together our article GAP: 5 Common Misconceptions Costing You Money.
Learn real, yet rarely discussed, risks of GAP, as well as how to best take advantage of the rewards most important to you (and your loan holders).
Once you begin your research, you’re going to find a whole lot of service providers explaining why their solution is the best. Before discussing any, let’s step back and figure out what matters to you.
