Overview of Freddie Mac s (TPTS) is an online tool designed to assist you with managing and monitoring loans you transfer to an aggregator. By using third party transaction services, you can take advantage of the technology capabilities you need to make selling loans easy, convenient, and seamless. The TPTS functionality allows the seller to enter loan data in Loan Selling Advisor SM that the seller intends to sell to an aggregator. The aggregator will review the loan data for the mortgages in the seller s TPTS pipeline and select the mortgages they want to purchase. The seller must comply with the requirements of the tri-party agreement including, Section 10, (i) through (iv) which contains: Loan Selling Advisor User Agreement, Consent to Electronic Transactions, Incorporation of Loan Selling Advisor, Special Warranties and Representations and The TPTS Functionality Amendments. Process Flow Loan Selling Advisor s Third Party functionality simplifies the process of submitting and transferring loans to an aggregator. Once you enter loans in Loan Selling Advisor, you can search for loans; display loans entered into Loan Selling Advisor and view the status of those loans. The loans will have various status indicators throughout the loan data transfer process. Refer to the section titled Originator Pipeline for more information on the status indicators and tracking loans. To submit loans to an aggregator, you must: 1. Enter loan data. You may import loans from your loan origination system (LOS) or from Loan Product Advisor, or enter loans manually into Loan Selling Advisor. 2. Evaluate loans. Loans will be evaluated against the aggregator s terms of business. Loans that pass purchase edits will display as compliant. Loans that have critical edits will display as non-compliant. To clear critical edits and warning messages, you must modify loans and re-evaluate them prior to submitting them to the aggregator. Loans should be compliant before you submit them to the aggregator. 3. Submit loans to the aggregator. The aggregator has the option to accept or reject the submitted loans. Adding and Accessing Loans in Loan Selling Advisor Adding and saving loans to Loan Selling Advisor is the first step to submitting loans to an aggregator. You may import loans into Loan Selling Advisor from your loan origination system (LOS) or from Loan Product Advisor. You may also create loans within Loan Selling Advisor manually. Adding loan and saving loans in Loan Selling Advisor is the first step to submitting loans to an aggregator. Loans can be accessed in the Originator Pipeline after they are saved in Loan Selling Advisor. It is important to note that all loans not allocated to either Freddie Mac or an aggregator, but saved in Loan Selling Advisor, will display in both the Loan Pipeline and the Originator Pipeline. Therefore, it is important that you manage your pipelines and delete loans that you do not intend to sell and/or transfer. You will only access loans via the Loan Pipeline link if you plan to deliver the loans to Freddie Mac using your seller number. When you submit loans to an aggregator, they will no longer be accessible via the Loan Pipeline link. Also, when you allocate loans to a Freddie Mac contract, they will no longer be accessible via the Originator Pipeline link. If you choose to evaluate upon import, the loans will be evaluated against your company s terms of business and not the aggregator s. You must then re-evaluate the loans before you submit them to the aggregator. Therefore, we recommend evaluating loans after they are saved to the Originator Pipeline. You must deliver the aggregator assigned loan number (issued at time of loan lock and/or registration with the aggregator) in Loan Selling Advisor s Seller Loan Identifier field (Sort ID #402). 2 December 2017
Originator Pipeline For loans you plan to submit to your aggregator, you should access them in the Originator Pipeline. The Originator Pipeline stores the unallocated loans you saved in Loan Selling Advisor and contains the functionality you will use to manage and submit your TPTS loans to the aggregator. The Originator Pipeline contains the status tabs of Candidate & Rejected, Submitted, or Transferred and allows you to search for loans by entering specific search criteria in each of the status tabs. Once your selected loans display, you can perform any of the following functions: Evaluate Submit to an aggregator View evaluation issues View and/or Modify Delete Export Loans will display based on the status tab selected. The following table provides a definition for each status. Originator Pipeline Loan Status Status Candidate Rejected Submitted Transferred Definition Indicates the loans are new or non-transferable. These loans have not been submitted to an aggregator and are also visible in your regular loan pipeline. Indicates an aggregator has rejected the loans. Click the Rejected status to view reason for rejection. Indicates the loans have been submitted to an aggregator and are waiting to be accepted or rejected. Indicates loans are compliant and have been accepted by an aggregator. It also indicates non-compliant loans that have been transferred. When you click the Rejected status, a window will display the date, time and reason for rejection. When selecting a tab to view your loans, remember that only the loans in that specific status will display. The search criteria used to search for loans will change based on the status tab you select. 3 December 2017

You should de-select non-compliant loans before clicking Submit. To clear the purchase edits, view critical messages, modify the loan, re-evaluate the loans and re-submit. If a loan that previously passed purchase edits displays as non-compliant, modifications have been made to prevent that loan from passing purchase edits. Loan Selling Advisor automatically runs purchase edits during the submission process when you click Send. Therefore, these loans will display as noncompliant. Correct the errors, then re-submit. There are various reasons why a loan is Non-Transferable. For example, you entered settlement details in error. If a loan is Non-Transferable, it will revert to Candidate status.
