Delegated Commitment Options

Best Efforts

Best Efforts Commitments, also referred to as “Best Efforts Locks,” allow sellers to lock-in a price for the delivery of a single mortgage loan for a specific property and borrower(s), without incurring fees if the mortgage loan is not closed and not purchased by AmeriHome.

Bulk

Bulk Trade Commitments provide sellers with the ability to obtain competitive pricing on a specific set (specified pool) of identified mortgage loans that fit the terms of the commitment requested, AmeriHome eligibility guidelines, and the terms of the seller’s agreement with AmeriHome. Sellers can commingle multiple eligible products and multiple interest rates into a single bulk trade. The delivery of the identified mortgage loans is mandatory and failure to do so under the terms of the commitment confirmation will result in the assessment of a pair-off fee. Bulk trade commitments are managed by the AmeriHome Trade Desk.

Bulk Assignment of Trade

Bulk Assignment of Trade Commitments (Bulk AOT) provide Sellers with the ability to obtain competitive pricing on a specific set (specified pool) of identified Mortgage Loans. Seller can commingle multiple eligible products and interest rates into a single Bulk AOT Trade. TBA Hedges may be assigned against Loans in the Bulk Commitment that conform to certain requirements. Minimum TBA trade assignment is $500,000. AmeriHome accepts (only) the assignment of TBA securities.
