About Us

The Barrent Group was founded in September 2008, with the objective of putting loans back to contractually responsible parties, including originators, because of material breaches of contractual representations and warranties. We provide forensic loan file review and related recovery services. Our clients are investors in home mortgages and mortgage-backed securities (MBS), monoline MBS bond insurers and other entities risking losses from underperforming mortgage loans.

The Barrent Group is not affiliated with any financial institution. Consequently, there can be no conflict of interest in providing repurchase support to clients.  The management and staff have hundreds of years of combined experience in residential mortgage lending and are ready to serve you!

Our Management

Our Analysts

The Barrent Group has selectively interviewed and employed the finest Quality Assurance Analysts in the industry. Each review project will have a dedicated Lead Manager, focused specifically on the individual engagement. This approach allows us to meet and exceed each client’s unique expectations. Our Analysts each have “best in the business” knowledge and skill levels, resulting from an average of over 10 years of mortgage underwriting and audit experience. The scope of their experience is both broad and inclusive, incorporating expertise in subprime, Alt-A, and prime conventional mortgage products, conforming and non-conforming loan profiles, FHA and VA lending, and both first and second liens. In addition, they have experience in reviewing loans from all origination channels and platforms, including wholesale, correspondent, and retail.

The Barrent Group Analysts distinguish themselves even further through their advanced knowledge of proven diagnostic fraud detection tools.  They have the ability to identify and thoroughly investigate the critical “Red Flags” of each mortgage file. These abilities to research, detect and clearly document instances of misrepresentation and fraud, enable our Analysts to solidly support material findings. These types of material findings, along with underwriting related breaches, form the basis for compelling repurchase demand letters to the contractually responsible parties.
