Until recently, getting a mortgage was a paper chase. Suddenly, the industry\u2019s going digital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s all part of the wave to remote and hybrid work. And the rules and regulations have adjusted with phenomenal speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title companies now view digital closings and notary services as inevitable \u2014 especially given pending legislation to make remote online notarization<\/a> a national norm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how the changes are unfolding, and where this is all going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Sticky Fixes: From Pandemic Patch, to Legal Norm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lenders, notaries, and title professionals scrambled, when Covid hit, to offer safe closings for their borrowers. Everyone needed answers: buyers and sellers, their brokers and agents, the mortgage consultants, the notaries, the settlement agents. With most of their offices shut for a public health emergency, these professionals turned to electronic closings as a temporary fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But customers liked it. They were already used to sending loan application documents over the internet, and receiving automated preapprovals. eClosings seemed to be the logical next step. And they stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers like signing documents in stress-free environments, and getting agreements squared away in advance of closing day. Remote online notarization (RON) is now in demand coast to coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lenders and title agents liked RON more than they might have expected they would. It was saving them money and time on each loan. Notaries and settlement companies hesitated. Would the digital closing sideline their vital role and their human presence in home sale transactions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turns out eClosings do substitute for proofing, printing, distributing, scanning, and otherwise copying documents. But that doesn\u2019t make the agent\u2019s work redundant. Professionals can now be more attentive to the people they serve. They can deal with those tricky issues that need their thoughts and expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sending Funds: Is There an App for That?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Closing on a home, until quite recently, put millennials and younger buyers in the strange position of writing checks. For young buyers, the world of wiring money and writing checks seems clunky and archaic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Younger buyers are comfortable with mobile payments. As they keep influencing the market, watch for escrow account managers to start accommodating them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital payments are already beginning to play roles in home purchases. To the extent they can guard customers funds from real estate wire fraud<\/a>, the new breed of payment systems will likely continue gaining its foothold in mortgage financing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artificial intelligence<\/a> is another factor that improves a home seeker\u2019s mobile experience. Type in terms as you think of them, and the app \u201cknows\u201d what you\u2019re seeking. For sellers, AI-enabled tech can estimate how many days a given home, with a given price, will take to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As customers and agents keep using these tools, machine learning makes them better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re in the Third Generation of Digital Lending, Says Wolters Kluwer  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wolters Kluwer is the international digital software and data company that\u2019s introduced the eOriginal\u00ae digital lending platform<\/a>. The company identifies three generations of digital lending so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital Lending: The First Generation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Loan origination came first. Have you made a home purchase in the days before the pandemic struck? Maybe you\u2019ll recall sitting down in an office or living room with a mortgage consultant, looking at your documents, discussing your goals. The expert would tell you if lenders would look kindly on your credit profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a bit different now. You might still want to meet your real estate and mortgage professionals in person, but most of the necessary information channels are online. Technology now verifies personal identity \u2014 and most everything else that goes into a loan application. Even without a traditional bank account, you can establish a credit profile and apply for financing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital Lending: The Second Generation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The second stage is all about the customer\u2019s journey. Remote online notarization followed innovations like eSigning. Hybrid appraisals<\/a> followed desktop appraisals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then came eClosings, with everything done using digital tools. Managers handle transactions remotely, with lender and borrower able to communicate and visualize the whole process on their online platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital Lending: The Third Generation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Today, reports Wolters Kluwer, we\u2019re witnessing a third generation in digital lending. Now, it\u2019s all about legal compliance and seamless transactions on norm-setting digital platforms.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before, lenders passed their financial batons from one party to the next, as the loan made a complicated but strictly ordered journey from origination to buyers in secondary markets. Now, the sequence can be customized without the companies falling out of compliance. Closings that used to take months are now being done in weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Lenders, Vetting the Services Is Critical<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lenders benefit in a number of ways from the move to eClosings. Mortgage consultants who are up to speed on eClosings can market an updated range of services. Smaller bank staffs can grow their mortgage volumes more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how are these financial pros making sure their title partners have digital services they can trust? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Providing RON is a new and evolving technique. And with RON so new to the mortgage process; the rules are evolving. RON-equipped closing and title companies have to watch the laws and regulations with care, to preserve their reputations in the future world of lending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In states that are leading the field in remote notarization, lenders can tap vendors that are selected by their states. If they have to pick the partners themselves, they look for providers with reliable platforms and a history of handling mortgage support roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lenders need partners and platforms that fit in with their work flows and their existing technology. And they look for continuing support, not merely setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so, a lender must ask: Has this company formed a track record yet? Is the staff knowledgeable? What service providers manage their software, and with what platform? Are they compliant with the state law, and best security practices?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does the company go beyond electronic notarizing to offer the whole eClosing enchilada?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital Closings Are Winning the Public Trust. What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Digital closings empower customers. People can more easily choose their services and how they want to interact with providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lenders and title agents get the certainty of complete, useful records. This relieves lenders of the hassle of sending documents back to the parties due to missing details or signatures. With digital mortgage platforms, parties receive prompts if something\u2019s not there before they submit information. Instead of papers to hand over or mail, the parties can post files to secure platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s next in the evolution of eClosings? Data, not documents, will become the mortgage. And then, says Steve Bisbee at Wolters Kluwer, \u201cthe true value of analytics will create the fourth generation of real-time digital lending.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
