  2. Close with the borrower.

  3. Provide the borrower with the Notice of Servicing Transfer (Exhibit 2 of the Specialized Loan Servicing (SLS) Whole Loan Servicing Transfer Manual) or equivalent document at closing or as required by RESPA and other applicable laws. This document must include an accurate effective servicing transfer date.

    Effective Date of Servicing Transfer is equal to the date the first payment is due to SLS.
