Quest Advisors provides quality assurance advisory and outsourcing services for the mortgage banking industry.

Since its inception in 1995, Quest has grown to provide mortgage-related services to a broad range of clients nationwide, from smaller retail mortgage bankers and lenders originating volumes of 50 to 100 loans per month to large national lenders and mortgage bankers originating thousands of loans per month through retail, wholesale, and correspondent channels.

Quest is more than just a quality control “loan review” company, but is committed to its clients’ overall goals of profitably and success. The members of the Quest team have a thorough understanding of the overall mortgage banking environment and appreciate how product and compliance quality can add to or detract from mortgage loan product consistency.
