"They are trying to keep their loans in house and are killing the underwriters and processors. Giving unattainable goals. The pipelines are out of control."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Learn how to do the job so when you think that 1 more call is going to make a difference. It is not. They need to streamline the process again. Everyone has a specialty, exploit it. Get a team of underwriters to do tax returns only (1st touch), get a 2nd team of underwriters to review the requested docs that the first underwriter requested (2nd touch), have an appraisal review team, and allow the HSS to review title (home focus was a good idea but now they are delaying the process). If something is wrong with the title refer it to home focus. This will reduce the number of loans that are sitting 3 months in a queue waiting to be touched. No one should have a pipeline as you come in pull the next loan in queue. Because some people are faster than others and the customer should not be penalized because they have a slow processor who has 80 loans in queue."
