About Spectrum Field Services:

Spectrum is one of the pioneers in the field service industry and we are committed to retaining that reputation. Spectrum continues to be an active participant by serving on committees, boards, and councils within the field services industry, particularly with the National Association of Mortgage Field Services (NAMFS). Spectrum also maintains affiliations with the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), REOMAC, Preservation MAC, and the National Association of Government Guaranteed Lenders (NAGGL). Industry-wide participation of our management team has always been an important philosophy at Spectrum.

Spectrum also leads the industry by piloting and refining innovations that benefit all field service customers. Many field service innovations-now considered as "standard" industry capabilities-had their origin with Spectrum.

Having the experience of over 30 years in the field service business, Spectrum benefits our clients by being able to recognize problems before they materialize. Also, Spectrum's network of 3,200 inspectors and 800 contractors - many of whom have worked with Spectrum for more than a decade - are specialists rather than the customary supplier-recruiting model of hiring generalists.

Spectrum's client base includes both high-profile, high-volume firms and the smaller, more boutique firms and organizations. Being able to serve all types of clients results from Spectrum's long-term stability and our adaptability to the needs of every individual client. This level of service solidifies Spectrum's reputation as a field services industry leader.
