Press Release:
Most Feature Rich and Easy-to-Use TRID Solution in the Industry Hits a Home Run

TORRANCE, Calif., Aug. 13, 2015 -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance, eSign and eDelivery solutions, announced that after extensive testing by lenders, settlement providers and other relevant parties, SmartCLOSE™ has been honed to perfection and been moved to a secure cloud-based production environment for its official release date of Aug. 15, 2015.

In June, over 250 lenders participated in the testing of DocMagic's new SmartCLOSE collaborative closing portal in order to provide key feedback to DocMagic for continued fine-tuning of the system. As a result of months of preparation and testing, lender and settlement provider feedback and fine tuning the technology, SmartCLOSE is now ready for production.

"The innovative enhancements that DocMagic has added to the portal makes SmartCLOSE the most feature rich and easy-to-use TRID solution in the industry," said Kevin Marconi, COO of United Fidelity Funding. "Even though the TRID deadline was pushed to October 3, DocMagic's early readiness today gives me the peace of mind I absolutely must have to know that I am TRID ready."

"DocMagic really hit a home run with this product. We are extremely impressed with Smart CLOSE; this system is very easy for us and our settlement agent partners to utilize," said Jim Paolino, CEO of LodeStar Software Solutions, a leading technology provider for the title insurance industry. "The fashion in which the screens and workflow were developed is going to make adoption by our settlement agents quick and make their jobs easy in the new post-TRID world order."

"The DocMagic client base and strategic partners say that DocMagic has built the best TRID solution in the industry," states Tim Anderson, director of eServices at DocMagic. "Our team has diligently worked to fine-tune SmartCLOSE largely based on user feedback which has helped us get to where we are today."

DocMagic's Audit Engine maintains electronic evidence to track and log all transactions and its Compliance Engine continuously compares the initial Loan Estimate against the final to ensure RESPA compliance throughout the process. DocMagic also reps and warrants all documents created and calculations provided by the system with a complete TRID compliance guarantee. This compliance "stamp of approval" allows SmartCLOSE users to rest assured that all TRID requirements have been met.

SmartCLOSE integrates with DocMagic's LOS partners to provide seamless, bi-directional exchange of information with the click of a mouse. SmartCLOSE is also being integrated with all leading settlement platforms and other third party applications used in the loan closing process.

DocMagic Officially Kicks Off Client Testing of its SmartCLOSE Collaborative Closing Portal for TRID Compliance

collab-closingPress Release:

Phased testing approach with select clients enables DocMagic to perfect new solution

TORRANCE, Calif., June 24, 2015 - DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance, eSign and eDelivery solutions, announced today that a group of clients have begun to test the features and functionality available within its new Collaborative Closing Portal, SmartCLOSE™. 

The portal was made available to nearly 250 lenders last week to start working with the system and provide comments. The complete product will be rolled out in two planned phases as features are continuously added and the solution is enhanced.

"The idea behind releasing SmartCLOSE to a select group of clients for initial testing is that it will help us refine the feature set to ensure we provide the very best TRID closing portal," stated Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "The workflow and functionality is already incredibly intuitive and every screen is designed with simplicity in mind."

SmartCLOSE offers a secure, centralized online environment for lenders, settlement providers, and other associates to share, validate, audit, track and collaborate on documents, data and fees. DocMagic's Audit Engine runs continuously behind the scenes to ensure compliance for any changes that may affect tolerance levels, calculation reconciliation and potential RESPA violations. Everything is accessible within SmartCLOSE, including the eSigning and eDelivery of documents.

DocMagic's Audit Engine captures who changed what, what was changed, what you need to fix and why, and all of the electronic evidence to log and complete all transactions in full compliance. DocMagic reps and warrants transactions run through the system. 

Iannitti added: "There a lot of closing portals that have been recently announced to address TRID compliance, but we believe most fall short in adequately tracking tolerance levels, changes in circumstance, and other very complex aspects of TRID compliance. There is a great deal of work and complex problem-solving required to create a robust portal that addresses every facet of TRID compliance while providing a truly dynamic and collaborative workflow environment. Our TRID wizards have been very busy." 

DocMagic has been holding regular webinars and training sessions to educate and prepare clients for TRID compliance.

DocMagic Will Be Fully TRID Compliant by Aug.1, Regardless of When the New Rule Actually Takes Effect

tila-respa-do-not-slow-downPress Release

Oct. 1 due date is only a “proposed delay” by the CFPB; it could still come sooner and DocMagic will be ready

TORRANCE, Calif., June 19, 2015 — DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance, eSign and eDelivery solutions, announced that the CFPB’s proposed delay will have no bearing on its plans to be ready to meet the CFPB’s originally planned Aug. 1 due date to implement the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rule.

“The CFPB only stated that they will be issuing a ‘proposed amendment’ to delay the rule to Oct. 1, which means it could possibly finalize a shorter time period,” commented Rich Horn, TRID legal advisor to DocMagic and former senior counsel and special advisor at the CFPB. Mr. Horn led the 1,888 page final TRID rule and the design and consumer testing of the new mortgage disclosures. “Lenders would be wise to keep their foot on the gas and proceed with their TRID implementation work, and DocMagic gets that,” said Horn.

“DocMagic has been working very closely with our clients, LOS partners, industry experts and other mortgage entities to be absolutely 100 percent certain that we are TRID compliant by the original Aug. 1 date,” said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. “The CFPB’s announcement about the proposed delay will not change our momentum. All of our systems will be TRID-compliant come Aug. 1 ranging from loan document production to LOS integrations to our new Collaborative Closing Portal, SmartCLOSE™.

The CFPB’s official statement for its “proposed amendment to delay the effective date of the Know Before You Owe rule until Oct. 1, 2015” can be found here.

Major eSigning Milestone Achieved: DocMagic Surpasses 100 Million eSignature Transactions for the Mortgage Industry

esignature-transactionsPress Release:
Unrivaled industry eSigning adoption among mortgage clients fuels transaction spike

TORRANCE, Calif., May 11, 2015 -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance, eSign and eDelivery solutions, announced today that its eSign platforms have now processed more than 100 million mortgage-related eSignature transactions. 

"We are very pleased with the sheer number of eSignatures that we are seeing executed among our client base," said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "This is positive news for the mortgage industry as a whole. In previous years, eSign adoption was much lower among lenders working with borrowers. We have always encouraged clients to take advantage of our eSigning technology; this impressive number of transactions certainly reflects that."

DocMagic is the undisputed leader in the mortgage industry for eSign technologies. The company has a long-standing reputation for developing innovative eSign solutions that integrate seamlessly with mortgage workflows. 

DocMagic has two eSign solutions for clients to take advantage of eSignSystems' SmartSAFE XL eSigning, eDelivery and eVaulting platform was added to the DocMagic family in 2014. DocMagic's eSign platform is a separate SaaS-based solution that features the company's proprietary ClickSign™ technology. SmartSAFE XL is ideal for companies that require more flexibility, extendibility and control over eSigning processes. DocMagic's eSign technology is highly intuitive, simple to setup, and walks signers through the entire document review process to efficiently, expeditiously and compliantly submit eSignatures. 

Notable is that in 2011, in an effort to encourage industry-wide adoption of eSignatures, DocMagic made its eSign technology available to anyone to sign any type of document at no charge. Users can visit DocMagic's website to quickly and easily eSign documents such as contracts, NDAs, proposals and more. 

Documents executed using DocMagic's eSign technology are as legally effective, valid and enforceable as documents printed and signed in ink.
