About the Company

Valon’s mission is to empower every homeowner. We believe the journey of home ownership starts when you get your keys, but lasts far beyond.

Through mortgage servicing—the process of paying off one’s mortgage—Valon is taking the first step in transforming the industry one homeowner, and lender, at a time.

Servicing Transfers Department at Valon

At Valon, every loan’s journey begins with a servicing transfer—and as a member of the Servicing Transfers team, you will own the onboarding and off-boarding of loans to and from Valon’s servicing platform. You’ll ensure Valon has access to the necessary data, documentation, and funds in order to service our loans and to keep all relevant stakeholders informed in a timely manner.
