Meet the woman disrupting the mortgage servicing space. Shante Duffy started her career in the servicing space nine years ago. Through her dedication, tenacity towards customer service, and self motivation, she quickly rose to the top of the organization. In 2021, realizing the servicing space was not meeting the needs of lenders, she along with Chris Seveney and another investor established a loan servicing company BIFI Loan Servicing (By Investors For Investors) where she serves as the Vice President of Operations.

Shante established BIFI to address the “pain points” caused by the industry-standard way of servicing loans. Shante takes an agile approach to serving her clients while continuously adapting to industry changes and investor needs.

When Shante is not keeping lenders compliant while increasing their bottom lines, she spends her time raising her nine-year-old son and is passionate about raising awareness for children with autism.
