<\/a><\/a>Under the agreement, Carrington acquires Valon Mortgage, expanding Carrington\u2019s servicing portfolio by approximately 810,000 loans and using ValonOS as its core servicing platform. The companies are combining Carrington\u2019s government-servicing expertise and operational scale with Valon\u2019s AI-native technology to advance the next generation of Ginnie Mae.<\/p>
\u201cThe completion of our acquisition of Valon Mortgage marks an important milestone in Carrington\u2019s growth strategy,\u201d said Andrew Taffet, Chief Executive Officer of The Carrington Companies. \u201cAfter spending more time with ValonOS and seeing how it handles the complexity of government servicing, I am more convinced than ever that it is the right platform for Carrington\u2019s next chapter. This partnership gives us the opportunity to bring greater speed, control and consistency to the borrowers, investors and agencies we serve.\u201d<\/p>
Strengthening One of the Industry\u2019s Largest Servicing Platforms<\/b><\/p>
The completion of the transaction significantly expands Carrington\u2019s servicing platform through Valon\u2019s established subservicing relationships and proven asset acquisition capabilities. Together, the servicing portfolio is expected to approach approximately two million loans, reinforcing Carrington\u2019s position as a premier provider of high-touch mortgage servicing. The combined platform is already earning the confidence of Valon\u2019s servicing clients, with several exploring opportunities to transfer additional servicing portfolios.<\/p>
Bringing Together Two Industry Leaders<\/b><\/p>
Valon\u2019s growth has been extraordinary. Founded in 2019, Valon Mortgage has grown to servicing approximately 810,000 loans, earning a reputation as one of the industry's fastest-growing mortgage servicers. The acquisition combines Valon\u2019s AI-native servicing infrastructure with Carrington\u2019s longstanding leadership in government lending and servicing, creating a servicing platform with a broader range of capabilities and deeper operational expertise for homeowners, investors and institutional clients.<\/p>
\u201cValon Mortgage was built to prove that ValonOS could operate at the highest level of complexity in mortgage servicing,\u201d said Andrew Wang, CEO and Co-Founder of Valon. \u201cWith the transaction now complete, Valon can focus fully on building the technology infrastructure that powers the broader servicing ecosystem. Carrington\u2019s operating expertise and commitment to ValonOS make this partnership a meaningful step forward for Ginnie Mae servicing and for the teams, customers and partners who made it possible.\u201d<\/p>
Accelerating Innovation Through Technology<\/b><\/p>
Valon's modern servicing technology platform was a key factor in Carrington's acquisition strategy. Built on a contemporary cloud-based architecture, ValonOS enables rapid development and innovation across mortgage servicing. Together, Carrington and Valon expect to accelerate innovation across conventional, Ginnie Mae, non-QM, private-label securities and closed-end second-lien products.<\/p>
\u201cThis is what we set out to build from the beginning: operate a mortgage servicer, prove the technology in production and then scale that technology beyond our own servicing operation,\u201d said Linda Du, President and Co-Founder of Valon. \u201cWe are proud of what the Valon Mortgage team developed, grateful to the people who made it possible and excited for their next chapter within Carrington. We are equally excited to continue our partnership with Carrington as we bring ValonOS to market and help improve the experience for the homeowners who most rely on government servicing.\u201d<\/p>
Positioning for Continued Long-Term Growth<\/b><\/p>
Since 2007, Carrington has achieved approximately 16% annualized growth while consistently expanding its servicing portfolio each year, demonstrating the strength of its long-term business strategy across multiple market cycles. With the addition of Valon Mortgage, Carrington is even better positioned to support homeowners, investors, mortgage originators and servicing clients through greater scale, operational excellence and continued investment in technology and customer service.<\/p>
\u201cValon Mortgage\u2019s talented team, outstanding reputation, impressive client retention and forward-looking technology made them an ideal fit for Carrington,\u201d said Taffet. \u201cWe are excited about the opportunities we will create as we continue building the nation\u2019s premier mortgage servicing organization. Our partnership with Valon is yet another important milestone for The Carrington Companies.\u201d<\/p>

Founded in 2019, the company took an unusual approach: rather than selling software into the mortgage industry, it built and ran a full-scale mortgage servicer from the ground up \u2014 proving ValonOS could handle one of the most regulated industries in the world before opening the platform to others. Today, ValonOS powers servicing for some of the nation\u2019s largest mortgage institutions, including Rithm Capital\u2019s Newrez, and Valon is extending the platform into adjacent industries.
