Transfers and Servicing [Abstract] |
SERVICING RIGHTS | SERVICING RIGHTS The Company retains MSRs from certain of its sales of residential mortgage loans. MSRs on residential mortgage loans are reported at fair value. Income earned by the Company on its MSRs is derived primarily from contractually specified mortgage servicing fees and late fees, net of curtailment costs and third party subservicing costs. The Company retains servicing rights in connection with its SBA loan operations, which are measured using the amortization method. The following table presents a composition of total income (loss) from servicing rights, which is reported in Loan Servicing Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, on a consolidated operations basis, for the periods indicated:
| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2017 |  | 2016 |  | 2017 |  | 2016

Servicing fees for sold loans with servicing retained | $ | 4,521 |  |  | $ | 6,286 |  |  | $ | 15,352 |  |  | $ | 16,372 |
Losses on the fair value and runoff of servicing rights | (3,968 | ) |  | (4,190 | ) |  | (10,360 | ) |  | (22,911 | )

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company entered into a flow-agreement establishing general terms for the purchase and sale to a third party MSR investor in connection with residential mortgage loan sales to GSEs. The flow-agreement allowed the Company to sell its MSRs to a third party MSR investor contemporaneous with the Company’s sales of its servicing retained residential mortgages to the GSEs. Accordingly, entering into the flow-agreement reduced the impact of volatility associated with the Company's MSRs by allowing the Company to sell its MSRs immediately, thus reducing the Company's exposure to market and other conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company suspended sales of MSRs under the flow-agreement. The Company does not expect to resume sales under the flow-agreement, as the Company has discontinued its Mortgage Banking segment operations. The following table presents a composition of servicing rights, on a consolidated operations basis, as of the dates indicated:
| September 30, 2017 |  | December 31, 2016
| (In thousands)
Mortgage servicing rights, at fair value | $ | 38,715 |  |  | $ | 76,121 |
SBA servicing rights, at amortized cost | 1,733 |  |  | 1,496 |
Total | $ | 40,448 |  |  | $ | 77,617 |
Mortgage loans sold with servicing retained are subserviced by a third party vendor. The unpaid principal balance of these loans at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $4.22 billion and $7.58 billion, respectively. Custodial escrow balances maintained in connection with serviced loans were $33.6 million and $34.2 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The reductions in these balances were principally driven by the sale of $37.8 million of MSRs during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as a part of discontinued operations.
