Templates
Create loan-package templates that include required signing fields, conditional fields for disclosures, and mapped CRM variables so each closing uses a consistent, prepopulated document set that minimizes data entry and errors.
Electronic signatures executed through platforms that adhere to ESIGN and UETA are generally legally binding for mortgage documents in the United States, provided identity verification, intent, and audit evidence are captured and retained according to regulatory guidance.
Loan officers initiate disclosure and preapproval packages from the CRM, verify borrower contact details, and monitor signing progress; they rely on templates and CRM mapping to reduce data entry and speed the borrower experience.
Closing coordinators prepare closing packages, enforce signing order and authentication requirements, manage reminders and notarization steps, and ensure completed documents are retained and delivered to investors as required.
Create loan-package templates that include required signing fields, conditional fields for disclosures, and mapped CRM variables so each closing uses a consistent, prepopulated document set that minimizes data entry and errors.
Send identical documents to many recipients with individualized fields and tracking, useful for mass consent requests or routine borrower acknowledgements while preserving auditability for each signer.
Map borrower fields between the CRM and documents to auto-populate names, addresses, loan numbers, and dates, reducing manual data transfer and keeping borrower records synchronized across systems.
Support multiple signer verification methods including email OTP, knowledge-based questions, and hosted identity checks to meet varying lender risk profiles and regulatory expectations.
Maintain a tamper-evident record of signing events, IP addresses, timestamps, and document versions to support compliance, quality control, and post-closing audits.
Define signing order, reminders, escalation rules, and conditional routing to automate common mortgage processes such as initial disclosures, underwriting approvals, and final closing signatures.
Native integrations with major CRMs allow one-click sending from borrower records, automatic status updates, and field mapping to prefill borrower and loan data into documents, reducing duplicate entry and reconciliation time.
Create modular closing templates that include conditional disclosures, prefilled fields, and nested templates for frequently used forms to accelerate package assembly and maintain consistency across loan types.
Automatic synchronization to enterprise cloud storage or CRM attachments ensures signed copies are archived with the borrower record and available for investor delivery or compliance reviews.
APIs enable custom automation, from triggering sends after loan approval to ingesting signed documents into downstream systems for investor reporting or audit workflows.
