Where can I locate my current tax and/or insurance escrow balance?

Your tax and/or escrow balance can be found on your monthly billing statement. It's also available in the Escrow & Reserves section in CRESI.

How can I get copies of my tax bill(s)?

Many jurisdictions mail tax bills directly to the owner of record, per the municipalities’ tax records.

If you didn't receive your tax bill(s) by mail and would like to request a copy, please email the tax department at Taxes@Grandbridge.com .

Where should I send my insurance invoices for payment?

If your loan and policy are escrowed for Insurance, please forward insurance invoices for payment to our insurance department at Insurance@Grandbridge.com.

Can I stop escrowing for my insurance and/or taxes?

To stop escrowing requires approval from your lender because the requirement for escrows is typically contemplated prior to the loan closing and is memorialized in the loan documents executed at closing.

If you'd like to stop escrowing, please contact us for instructions on submitting a formal request to your lender for this change.

Where can I locate proof of payment for my insurance premiums or property taxes?

Confirmation of escrowed tax and/or insurance bill disbursements can be found in CRESI.

For property taxes, an increasing number of tax jurisdictions are reporting tax amounts to mortgage servicers in an electronic-only format. As a result, we may not always be able to acquire a stamped receipt for proof of payment but may be able to confirm receipt of payment through your jurisdiction.

When will my property taxes be paid?

Property taxes are typically paid between the tax due date and 30 days prior to the tax due date.

Because property taxes are paid through a third-party tax service, your tax analyst may not be able to provide you with an exact date of payment. However, you can access the transaction information reflecting the date the property tax funds were sent in CRESI.

I’m in the process of a property tax appeal. What should I do?

For us to provide you with the best possible service, please contact us as soon as the appeal is filed and provide your appeal documentation.

Except for a few jurisdictions where full payments are required, and to avoid risking the opportunity for appeal, Grandbridge won't be responsible for the appeal process. Failure to promptly notify Grandbridge of an appeal may result in our payment of the current tax bill. Once an appeal has been decisioned, please provide to Grandbridge the updated or amended tax bills. Additionally, you may be requested to provide periodic updates on the status of the appeal.

Can I request property taxes be paid prior to year-end for taxes due the following year?

Yes. If you'd like to pre-pay taxes for the following year, please submit a written request to your tax analyst. Pre-payment requests must be submitted annually.

Note: Because of the high volume of tax payments due at year-end, we can't guarantee payment by December 31 without sufficient advanced notice.

My property’s assessed value has decreased. Can my monthly tax escrow amount be lowered?

We can't lower escrow constants based on decreased assessments alone. In addition to assessed values, tax millage rates can also change.

If you'd like to have your escrow constants lowered, please provide us with either a new bill or documentation from the jurisdiction indicating a new, lower dollar amount due for subsequent payments.

My escrow analysis indicates a surplus. How can I collect the excess funds?

If you believe there are excess funds in your account, please contact Customer Service at 877-262-6063 or by email at Grandbridge Servicing.

We must receive a paid receipt from your agent documenting that annual premiums for all policies have been paid in full. Surplus escrow funds can't be released if you have any outstanding holds on your account, such as failure to provide financial statements, no current rent roll on file, unpaid late charges, or non-compliant insurance coverages. Any outstanding holds should be resolved prior to initiating the refund process.

My insurance agent changed. What should I do?

If your insurance agent changed, please notify Insurance@Grandbridge.com immediately to ensure all insurance coverage requirements of your lender are met when coverage is written with the new agent.

Why am I receiving renewal letters about my insurance coverage?

These letters are sent as a reminder that your insurance is due to expire soon and we haven't received proof of updated coverage as required by the Lender.

We send renewal reminder letters to all borrowers, with a copy to the agent, at approximately 60 and 30 days prior to the expiration date of your policy.

Why did I receive a request from Grandbridge to provide a complete copy of my insurance policy if there's already an insurance certificate or ACORD on file?

Generally, insurance certificates and ACORDs issued by insurance agents and carriers are for informational purposes only and can't be used to guarantee or enforce the coverages or provisions of the actual policy.

Providing a complete copy of your insurance policy protects you and your lender. Please forward the complete policy to Insurance@Grandbridge.com and contact your insurance analyst for additional details.

How often will I receive an Escrow Account Disclosure Statement?

We analyze your tax and/or insurance escrow account at least once every 12 months to ensure there are sufficient funds being collected to make future scheduled payments.

Your analysis includes a 5% anticipated annual escrow increase. In the event of increases where shortages occur, more than one analysis may be performed in a 12-month period.

I received an Annual Escrow Analysis statement. Is there anything I need to do with it?

We recommend carefully reviewing your statement for accuracy and notifying us of any discrepancies.

Your escrow analysis statement shows what's projected to be paid out of your escrow account over the next 12 months and ensures your property taxes and related insurance premiums are current.

My property sustained a loss. What should I do?

If your property sustains a loss, please notify your asset manager with details.

If you're unable to contact your asset manager, please notify Customer Service at 877-262-6063 or by email at Servicing@Grandbridge.com.

I received additional and/or revised tax bills from the jurisdiction. What should I do?

Please forward any and all billings and/or correspondence from the taxing authority or tax department to us at Servicing@Grandbridge.com.

If your city or county issues a revised/finalized billing, supplemental billing, special assessment or any amount due outside of the normal tax cycle, we'll likely not receive a copy. We can't be held responsible for penalties accrued as the result of a borrower failing to forward additional and/or revised billings.

How do I obtain a lender-approved payoff statement?

Please be prepared to provide your loan number, property name and desired date of payoff, as detailed in your loan documents. Our asset management team will process your request and provide a payoff statement.

My property management company changed. What should I do?

Typically, a change in property management companies requires your lender’s consent prior to the start date of the new firm.

For more information regarding the specific process for your loan, please contact your asset management representative, or contact Customer Service at 877-262-6063 or email Servicing@Grandbridge.com. We'll supply any applicable forms you'll need and provide a list of information required to start the process.

Note: An expense deposit may be required if legal counsel must be engaged as part of the process.

How should I submit required financial reporting information, such as operating statements and rent rolls?

What documentation is required to release funds?

We can provide forms to assist you with document preparation. For assistance, please contact your asset management representative, or contact Customer Service at 877-262-6063 or by email at Servicing@Grandbridge.com.

Why do I need a lien waiver?

Lenders typically require lien wavers from each contractor and material supplier providing labor and/or materials for capital improvements as a means to confirm the vendor has been paid in full and that there are no outstanding claims against the property.

Note: In the event your management company has already changed, please contact your asset management representative immediately to determine the steps necessary to seek the lender's approval and ensure all borrower contact information is up to date.

Depending on the amount of the project, a lien waiver may or may not be required. For assistance evaluating the necessity of a lien waiver request, please contact your asset management representative, contact Customer Service at 877-262-6063 or email Servicing@Grandbridge.com.
