Every Client, Every Time: Rocket Mortgage Named America's Top Mortgage Servicer for Client Satisfaction by J.D. Power for 8th Consecutive Year

DETROIT, July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Rocket Mortgage, America's largest mortgage lender and a part of Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT), was today named the nation's top mortgage servicer for client satisfaction by J.D. Power for the 8th year in a row – every year it has been eligible for the accolade.

Rocket Mortgage servicing plays the important role of managing a homeowner's mortgage from closing until the loan is paid off. This includes collecting monthly mortgage payments, paying taxes and insurance on a client's behalf through an escrow account and helping homeowners if they need any assistance or are having difficulty making their payments.

In addition to ranking #1 for overall score, J.D. Power named Rocket Mortgage best-in-class in every category that makes up the total satisfaction score, including:

• Overall Satisfaction
• New Customer Orientation
• Billing & Payment
• Escrow Account Administration
• Communication
• Customer Interaction

"At Rocket Mortgage, our mission has always been to offer homeowners the best possible experience through a combination of innovative technology and the assistance of our Rocket Cloud Force – a team of highly trained professionals that can help with even the most complex circumstances," said Nicole Beattie, Rocket Mortgage Executive Vice President of Servicing. "Over the last year, our servicing team demonstrated its ability to deliver in both good and challenging times. We are proud to show what a difference it can make when a mortgage servicer provides best-in-class technology and caring team members – both of which resulted in forbearance rates much lower than the industry average during the COVID-19 pandemic."  

Rocket Mortgage took an extremely proactive approach toward helping clients impacted by COVID-19. As the pandemic began to affect homeowners, the company released a proprietary automated system to quickly assist them. While many lenders were experiencing several-hour wait times, Rocket Mortgage clients were able to log into an online portal containing educational resources and an automated solution to apply for a forbearance plan.

Additionally, Rocket Mortgage servicing team members worked closely with clients to determine if forbearance was the right solution or if other options were more appropriate for their personal situation. The company then stayed in contact with clients who chose forbearance paths, connecting with them frequently to ensure they understood the next steps and answer any questions they had.

The net result of Rocket Mortgage's use of innovative technology, trusted expert advice and proactive outreach is a forbearance rate that is 35% lower than the industry average.

Thanks to the company's industry-leading mortgage servicing, homeowners come back to Rocket Mortgage for their next loan at an unmatched 90-plus percent retention rate – as of the first quarter of 2021.

According to Inside Mortgage Finance, Rocket Mortgage's portfolio of more than $467 billion in serviced loans – as of the end of Q1 2021 – makes it the country's fifth largest mortgage servicer.
