As former successful CMBS servicing professionals themselves, the team at 1st Service Solutions understands the servicer’s needs firsthand. We are the only firm with a ranking by Morningstar Credit Ratings. Learn more

Performing Loan Requests

Even the most ‘simple’ requests take on a life of their own in a CMBS structure. Whether you’re getting a new CMBS loan, or need to make changes to existing loan documents. Learn more

Ann Hambly knows the CMBS rules, structure and players as well as anyone I know. She has been a part of setting industry guidelines from the very beginning of CMBS. That knowledge is the key to being a successful borrower advocate.
