Welcome to the Five Star Institute

ABOUT US

Based in Dallas, Texas, the Five Star Institute (FSI) is a national trade association supporting the U.S. residential mortgage and real estate market, through membership groups, publishing, conferences, education services and strategic events.

FSI advocates on behalf of and for industry stakeholders on policy matters and interests established to protect, preserve and promote homeownership.

Diversity

Because we believe all Americans deserve equal opportunity in the pursuit of homeownership, diversity is a value woven into everything we do. We seek to represent and advocate for the needs and advancement of all people groups as it relates to the mortgage industry.

Respect

The mortgage servicing industry is an ecosystem which requires every member to play its part for the system to function. Accordingly, one way in which FSI supports the ecosystem is by respecting every role, no matter how big or small it may seem, as one vital to the functioning of this business process.

Integrity

It is only by integrity that we are able to make true advancements in the real estate industry that will stand the test of time. As the industry evolves and the needs and wants of homeowners remain unchanged, we follow the principle of integrity to lead us into success.  

Transparency

A key value to any properly functioning organization, we value transparency as the mechanism by which we are able to collaborate, problem-solve, and produce the most valuable work to impact the mortgage and default servicing industry.
