The need for valuations of mortgage servicing rights and loans has never been greater. Sarbanes-Oxley, regulatory scrutiny by the SEC and other governmental agencies, and pending changes to FAS 140 have all increased focus on these complex assets.

Third party valuations must be totally independent and objective. This means there can be no external financial benefits to the valuation firm that could be perceived as having biased the valuation results. This includes explicit and implicit guarantees of other business.

The Sextant Group has responded to this reality by isolating its valuation business into a totally separate unit that will focus solely on valuations and licensing valuation software. This unit will be managed by Dr. Thomas J. Healy, CMB who literally "wrote the book"* on this subject.
