When Do You Use the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Loan Lookup Tools?

Similar to the MERS loan registry, some loans are backed and registered by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. After completing the title commitment, if Schedule BI shows a mortgage, you should look up the loan on the Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac websites. This verification is essential to ensure the name of the current loan holder matches the provider of the payoff, avoiding discrepancies and ensuring a smooth transaction process.
