Fixed-Rate Guarantor Execution

Maximize your origination fee income and increase your servicing portfolio

Freddie Mac's Fixed-Rate Guarantor execution allows you to maximize your origination fee income and increase your servicing portfolio. Through this execution in the selling system, you can swap your fixed-rate mortgage for Freddie Mac Participation Certificates (PCs), widely accepted securities that are attractive to investors. Backed exclusively by the mortgages you have sold to Freddie Mac, these PCs require less capital than holding whole loans. You may also choose to swap and sell your PCs to replenish your funds and make more loans.
