WASHINGTON, DC – Fannie Mae (FNMA/OTC) announced today that it received a commercial loan master and special servicing ranking of "ABOVE AVERAGE" from Standard & Poor’s for the company’s multifamily business. This designation reflects the strength of Fannie Mae’s Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS®) program, a risk-sharing model that has been providing financing to the multifamily market for more than 25 years.

"We are pleased to have received an ABOVE AVERAGE ranking as a multifamily master servicer and special servicer from Standard & Poor's," said Jeffery Hayward, Senior Vice President and Head of the Multifamily Mortgage Business, Fannie Mae.
