First Preston HT, led by Founder and Chairman, Nancy Tartaglino Richards, and President, Lisa Barrentine, were recognized for their patented Lender Center™ platform, a cloud-based solution linking lenders to their loan servicer network and incorporating the unique property conveyance guidelines of each lender.  In use by 98 mortgage servicing institutions, the system has supported 3.8 million government-insured loans to date, streamlining the process for receiving and responding to servicer requests for approval of property preservation expenses.

We create the solutions and services to help our clients achieve their goals. Lender Center™ delivers the efficiency, transparency, cost savings and auditable review that are essential in today’s business environment, according to Richards.
