Did you know that Freddie Mac maintains an "Exclusionary List?" Real Estate professionals, including Mortgage Originators, Realtors, Title Companies, Attorneys, Surveyors, Appraisers, and others associated with a real estate transaction may find themselves on this list if they do something that could potentially cause harm to Freddie Mac or its investors. If someone is on the List, they are

The process is fairly one-sided. When Freddie Mac perceives someone should go on the list, they send a letter giving the party 30 days to respond. If they fail to respond, or Freddie Mac rejects their response, the person or entity finds themselves on the list. They can apply to come off the list two years after being on the list and then annually thereafter.

The challenge is that Freddie Mac will not explain how to come off the list, nor why a request to come off the list was approved or rejected.

Yesner Law has helped many real estate professionals come off the list and, in this episode, we describe our experiences (both successfully and unsuccessfully) with the Freddie Mac Exclusionary List.
