About the company
Mr. Cooper provides home loan services in the United States. It originates and services a variety of home loans, including conventional, FHA, and VA loans, and also helps customers refinance their mortgages. The way the product works is: customers apply for a loan, Mr. Cooper arranges the loan and funds it (origination), then it continues to manage the loan over time by handling payments and customer service (servicing). The company earns money from both origination fees and ongoing servicing fees. Compared with others, Mr. Cooper combines loan origination and loan servicing in one company and focuses on personalized support and educational resources to guide clients through financing. Its goal is to make homeownership easier to understand and manage for a wide range of customers, with a strong national presence in major cities.
