Home Improvement & Energy Efficiency

Comprehensive Servicing for Home Improvement and Energy-Efficiency Financing

The home improvement and energy-efficiency financing market presents a significant opportunity for originators, investors, and servicers alike. Homeowners are increasingly investing in renovations, upgrades, and efficiency enhancements—from HVAC replacements and insulation upgrades to full-scale kitchen or roofing remodels and solar or energy-efficient system installations. This dynamic asset class requires a specialized servicing partner that understands the project cadence, borrower expectations, collateral considerations, and regulatory nuances. At Concord Servicing, we deliver a full lifecycle servicing framework that supports originators, lenders, and investors in this space with precision, scalability, and client-centric execution.

Key Features:

• Onboarding & portfolio boarding – Seamless migration of newly originated loans or lease contracts, including document ingestion, data validation, and system setup.
• Payment processing & receipt management – Robust payment-capture platforms with automated reconciliation, ACH, lock-box, online borrower portal, and customizable billing schedules.
• Billing & account management – Issuance of monthly billing statements, real-time account status updates, promotional period tracking (e.g., interest-free or deferred payment phases), and borrower communication.
• Escrow, collateral & lien management (if applicable) – Monitoring and tracking of home-improvement or energy-efficiency collateral, verification of contractor completion, lien or security instrument oversight, and reference to property/installation records when needed.
