Our Master Policy offers all the benefits of the new GSE Rescission Relief principles!

Our Master Policy, which is effective for all mortgage insurance (MI) applications received on or after March 1, 2020, is more closely aligned with the GSE Rep and Warrant Framework. It also offers new benefits, including:

  • A streamlined, simplified format that makes it easier to navigate and easier to use.
  • New forms of Rescission Relief, including Rescission alternatives, offering greater protection.
  • Our new Clarity of Coverage® endorsement, which offers better appraisal protection, missing documentation protection and Clarity of Servicing — our fairness in servicing pledge. Clarity of Coverage comes with every Essent Master Policy.
