Several months ago, we added an additional Underwriting Manager, JJ Darnell, to support our Western Region. Today we are pleased to announce the creation of East and West Coast Underwriting Teams. JJ and Lindsey have been working together over the last few months to acclimate JJ to our VanDyk family. Currently they share the responsibility of managing the UW Scenario Help Desk. Please continue to use theUWScenario@vandykmortgage.com regardless of East or West Coast. Since the creation of East and West coast teams, we have created new UW queues for East and West Coast that will be utilized when submitting loan files to Underwriting.
