Welcome to 1st Service Solutions’ official blog!

One of the best things a borrower advocate can do for a borrower is to provide information and insight into the “Lender/Servicer” side of the commercial real estate industry. These blogs are written freely by the staff of 1st Service Solutions. They offer our views, insight, and opinions and will, at times, be seen as controversial. We would rather a borrower hear it like it is though!
