The pandemic has forced a lot of change in a short amount of time in the mortgage industry. DocMagic's Director of Enterprise Solutions, Chris Lewis, shares his insight about eClosings in the age of COVID-19. (Note: This interview has been adapted from in the August edition of The MORTGAGE BANKER magazine.)
Brian Pannell, DocMagic’s Chief eServices Executive, has been named one of the inaugural winners of the Thought Leader Award by the PROGRESS in Lending Association. Only 30 people across the entire mortgage industry received this honor.
The coronavirus pandemic has led to wide-ranging industry acceptance of eMortgages, eNotes, and digital closings, according to a recent article in National Mortgage News (subscription required).
A recent DocMagic update has made it easier to conduct transactions that involve someone with power of attorney (POA) acting on a borrower’s behalf, especially during the closing event. This is crucial during the current COVID-19 era, helping to reduce the amount of in-person contact needed by borrowers and title companies.
eClosing just got a lot easier because DocMagic’s new AutoPrep technology can convert ANY document from ANY lender into a compliant e-enabled document that’s ready for electronic signature inside our eClosing platform.

Providing borrowers with a simple, streamlined eClosing process is critical in today’s competitive mortgage industry. From a borrower standpoint, eClosings can add convenience and improve the overall customer experience. For lenders themselves, they equal faster funding, greater flexibility, and better loan quality. Additionally, they also allow for quicker delivery to the secondary market.

[HousingWire] A growing wave of digital adoption is quickly transforming into the new standard, motivating more companies to take the leap and invest in robust technology solutions. As customers experience innovative technology in other industries, they’re starting to demand that from the mortgage industry. While ease of use and convenience are helping to fuel this growth, increased efficiency, reduced costs and enhanced compliance are also major contributing factors, supporting both consumers and businesses.
Subscribers to our Compliance Newsletter already know that more and more states continue to pass laws that support electronic notarization which the mortgage industry now relies on to perform electronic loan closings. But considering those laws, and thinking about how a lender can begin to add electronic closings to their portfolio of services, it is helpful to think about the various types of electronic closings that can be done. These range from a fully electronic closing to various forms of ‘hybrid’ electronic closings (also “hybrid e-closing”).
