Whats is the function of MERS (Mortgage Electronic Registrat

Posted on: 09th Jan, 2008 08:02 am
i have no idea what MERS is and what its function is. But i have seen MERS in quite a few mortgage documents. So i would really appreciate if someone can throw some light on MERS (in layman terms)

Thanks
Ravi
Hi ravik,


I think MERS is a process that actually simplifies the way of mortgage ownership. This has been created by the real estate finance industry.

Best of luck,
Larry

straight from the guidelines:

Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems (MERS) is a national loan registry for electronic tracking of beneficiary and servicing rights, established to eliminate paper assignments; thus, eliminating missing, mis-recorded and erroneous loan assignments.

i hope this is of assistance.
