If your loan is already closed, online access will depend on if your loan is still being serviced by Waterstone Mortgage or if your servicing has been transferred. If you are looking to make an online payment, please see the payment options section below.
No, unless the Waterstone Mortgage corporate office will be collecting more than two payments before your loan is transferred to your new servicer. If the servicing hasn’t transferred by the third payment, we will mail you a loan statement. Once your loan transfers, you will begin receiving statements from your new servicer.

When it’s time to make your first mortgage payment to the corporate office of Waterstone Mortgage, you have several convenient options:
- Pay online, via ACH or debt card, utilizing the link that will be emailed to you by Waterstone Mortgage Payment Processing, closer to your first payment due date. This is the fastest and easiest way to make your monthly mortgage payment. There is no fee to pay online. If you do not receive said email, it is likely the servicing of your loan has transferred, and your first payment will be due to your new servicer. This option is not available for buydowns.
- Pay by phone, via ACH or debit card. Contact our Customer Service team at 800.354.1149. For the ACH payment option, a bank’s routing and checking/savings account number will be required. There is no fee for this service.
- Pay by mail, using the First Payment Letter coupons provided in your closing documents. Please include the payment coupon with your check or money order. If you do not have your payment coupons, please write your Waterstone Mortgage loan number on the memo line of your check and mail to the address below:

The mortgagee clause for Waterstone Mortgage Corporation is listed below. To ensure that your insurance renewals and premiums are paid in a timely manner, it is your responsibility to update the mortgagee clause when your loan transfers. Once you receive a transfer letter notifying you of your new servicer, you will need to update the mortgagee clause information by contacting your insurance agent and providing them with the new mortgagee clause stated in your transfer notice.

Form 1098 is a mortgage interest statement. If Waterstone Mortgage collected mortgage interest from you throughout the course of the year, you may receive a statement from us. 1098s are mailed by January 31. If you think you should have received a statement but did not, contact Customer Service at CustomerService@WaterstoneMortgage.com or 800.354.1149.
If you made payments to other servicers, you may receive an additional 1098 from those servicers.
Once you receive your Form 1098, store it safely with your tax documents. You may use this when filing your tax return to claim a mortgage interest deduction. Please note that Waterstone Mortgage employees cannot offer tax advice.
Waterstone Mortgage is committed to providing our customers with an easy method for raising concerns about property appraisals performed during the application process. If an appraisal is performed on your home, you will be provided a copy in accordance with regulatory requirements. You should review the appraisal report and contact your loan originator if you have any questions or concerns about the appraisal process or the reliability or credibility of the appraisal such as:
- Factual errors in room count, gross living area or other factual inaccuracies related or unrelated to the value.
- Comparable property sales selected may not be the most suitable.
- Evidence that the appraisal was influenced by bias or discrimination.
Reconsideration of Value Process
A Reconsideration of Value (ROV) is a formal request made by a consumer for the appraiser to reevaluate the analysis and conclusions of the initial appraisal using additional information provided by the consumer that the consumer believes to be relevant to the appraiser’s value determination.
The ROV Process is not intended to change the value because someone is dissatisfied with the appraisal conclusions or outcome. However, if there are any issues with the reliability or credibility – including any evidence of discrimination or bias – the appraisal value may be reconsidered, or a new appraisal report may be ordered.
Important Note: The ROV process must be completed prior to closing your mortgage loan transaction. Only one (1) ROV request is permitted per appraisal report. Any ROV requests submitted after closing will not be considered.
