On the company Web site, DocMagic bills itself as “The largest loan document production company in the U.S.” And while that is a grand definition, it doesn’t capture the intelligence, innovation and celebrated customer service level that has earned the company the respect of the industry.

National Mortgage Professional Magazine spoke with Don Iannitti, the company’s founder, president and chief executive officer, to discuss how DocMagic emerged to become a leader in its field.

DocMagic, Inc., the leading provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance and eDelivery solutions for the mortgage industry, has taken the all electronic mortgage lending process to a whole new level by completing the first ever electronic document eSigning from a remote location while in motion.

“One of the promises of eServices is that it will allow us to do business with our borrowers anywhere, anytime. This demonstration proves that we have reached that goal,” said Dominic Iannitti, CEO of DocMagic. “DocMagic has taken innovation beyond the whiteboard and put it to the test on the streets of America and that test was a complete success.”

New compliance requirements don’t typically inspire the most innovative technology enhancements in the mortgage industry. But the upcoming overhaul of borrower disclosure forms has created an opportunity to re-engineer the way lenders and title companies execute mortgage closings, according to Document Systems Inc.

“We’re seeing this particular new chapter in the workflow as being a great opportunity to deliver more of the closing documents upfront, perhaps even allowing for a complete review at that same three-day mark,” he said.

How will Dodd-Frank's ability-to-repay rule change underwriting -- and originating?

By Laurie Spira, Chief Compliance Officer, DocMagic, Inc.

Underwriting processes vary from lender to lender, but it’s often said that four C’s are at the heart of every sound underwriting decision: credit, capacity, cash and collateral. Even in the wake of the financial crisis, a quick Internet search will reveal that the four C’s still are alive and well; they’re discussed on countless websites and blogs, and almost any mortgage bank or lender will be familiar with the nuances of each of these all-important C’s. Although much has changed in the mortgage industry, the core underwriting principles have remained the same — at least they have thus far.

Depending on whom you ask, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act’s ability-to-repay rule may come to replace at least a few of the four C’s. Because underwriting is such a vital facet
