Loan servicing encompasses all activities related to administering a mortgage after origination: collecting monthly payments, applying them to principal and interest, managing escrow impound accounts for taxes and insurance, providing annual statements, handling delinquencies, and overseeing the foreclosure process if necessary. Many Oregon lenders sell the servicing rights to specialized servicers while retaining ownership of the loan.
