What comes back to your team
Work you can see and review.
Document request tracker
A working record with source references, current status, and the person responsible for the next step.
Upload receipt log
A focused view of missing inputs, unanswered questions, and items that need your decision.
Missing-item queue
A dated handoff that distinguishes completed work from pending review and unresolved exceptions.
Put the role into practice
From the first brief to the final check.
A practical handoff
A borrower uploads a statement with one page missing. The assistant requests the page using the existing checklist and routes the complete upload for review.
Illustrative workflow, not a client case study.Check the work before closing the loop.
Compare filenames, document periods, and requested items. A received upload stays separate from a reviewed document.
Your systems, your permissions
Fit the role to your environment.
Tool familiarity is considered when defining the role. Your team approves every platform, access level, and source of truth.

Inside the responsibility
What borrower document follow-up looks like in practice.
Keep requested documents visible and follow up through your secure collection process. The scope below connects each recurring responsibility to its source information and a checkable working record. Your team confirms the exact steps, templates, and approval limits before work starts.
Send lender-specified request lists
Begin with the latest request and its approved source record. Check that the necessary information is present, identify the owner, and clarify conflicting details before making an update.
Working output: Document request tracker. Include the source reference, current status, and next owner when an item remains open.
Log uploads against outstanding items
Use the agreed template or checklist to carry out this task. Record what was checked and the date of the action so another team member can understand the current position.
Working output: Upload receipt log. Include the source reference, current status, and next owner when an item remains open.
Identify missing pages for review
Keep this work connected to the wider queue. Note dependencies and unanswered questions, and use the agreed escalation route when the next step requires a decision.
Working output: Missing-item queue. Include the source reference, current status, and next owner when an item remains open.
Record follow-up attempts
Complete the task only when its agreed checks have passed. If an input is missing or an approval is pending, keep that status visible rather than treating the item as finished.
Working output: Document request tracker. Include the source reference, current status, and next owner when an item remains open.
A handoff you can act on
Keep ready work separate from unresolved work.
A borrower uploads a statement with one page missing. The assistant requests the page using the existing checklist and routes the complete upload for review.
Ready for review
The agreed task is complete and the supporting information is available in your approved system. Attach or link the relevant record and identify any final reviewer before closing the item.
Review against: Compare filenames, document periods, and requested items. A received upload stays separate from a reviewed document.
Waiting on an input
Name the missing information, where it was requested, and who is expected to supply it. Keep a follow-up date visible. An unanswered request should not disappear into a completed-work total.
Starting requirements: Provide the processor’s checklist, secure upload instructions, naming rules, and the reviewer who decides sufficiency.
Needs your decision
Summarize the exception and the information already checked. Ask a specific question and route it to the authorized person. Keep the original source intact while the decision is pending.
Approval boundary: Assistants do not verify creditworthiness, alter financial documents, or decide whether underwriting conditions are satisfied.
Set the role up well
Agree what good work means before the first handoff.
Access and examples
Provide individual, approved access to the systems used for this responsibility. Share a completed example, an incomplete example, the relevant template, and a named reviewer. Sensitive working records belong in those systems, not in a public inquiry form.
Possible working environments include Encompass where authorized, Secure borrower portal, SharePoint, Your loan system. Tool access and familiarity are confirmed as part of the role brief.
Review and workload measures
Agree which measures are useful for this queue: completed items, items awaiting an input, age of unresolved work, and corrections requested by the reviewer. Review these together with actual examples; volume alone does not establish that work is accurate.
Set response expectations from your operating needs. Coverage, turnaround targets, and the amount of work assigned are agreed separately rather than assumed from the service name.
