Hunt Mortgage, KeyBank Form Partnership

CLEVELAND—KeyBank Real Estate Capital, the commercial real estate unit of KeyCorp, has just formed with Hunt Mortgage Group a commercial mortgage servicing group and asset management department for Hunt’s clients. The newly-formed unit, called Hunt Servicing, will combine Hunt’s personnel with Cleveland-based KeyBank’s technology and expertise and focus exclusively on Hunt’s $11 billion mortgage servicing portfolio.

New York City-based Hunt Mortgage Group will handle all special asset management functions for its clients. KeyBank’s Hunt Servicing team will handle all cash operations, routine servicing matters and portfolio-wide asset management. KeyBank and Hunt officials say the partnership will mean faster response times and an improved online experience.
