According to LEDCO, Nationstar will contribute about $248 million in payroll, benefits and capital investment to the local economy over the next decade.

“We are vert excited to be investing in Longview with a new call center facility,” said Mike Rawls, Nationstar executive vice president for servicing. “We selected this location because of the city’s dedication to this project and our opportunity to hire from the community’s excellent pool of talent. We’re confident the team members we find in Longview will play an instrumental role in helping us to achieve our goal as the industry leader in customer service, and we look forward to opening the facility soon.”
