DocMagic integrates with Liquid Logics LOS from bFocused

integration-partnerPress Release: Consortium lenders who use this LOS now have access to industry-leading doc prep and eDelivery

TORRANCE, Calif.—DocMagic, Inc., the leading provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance, eSign and eDelivery solutions for the mortgage industry, announced today that DocMagic is now available from within the Liquid Logics loan origination system (LOS) produced by bFocused. Liquid Logics is a cloud based LOS that is currently in use by a consortium of consumer direct lenders.

“We’re very proud of this integration effort and what it will mean to users of the Liquid Logics LOS,” said Steve Ribultan, Director of Business Development for DocMagic. “We’re integrating everything: document packages, compliance, eSign, e-delivery, e-appraisal, BorrowerMobile, and perhaps most important the delivery of electronic documents to borrowers. It is a seamless integration that allows lenders to check compliance, generate document packages and deliver them to borrowers electronically from within their “system of record”.

“This is not a client/vendor relationship in the traditional sense, in which the partners want to be equal and yet the client calls all the shots,” said Sam Kaddah, president and CEO of Liquid Logics LLC. “It is a proactive partnership whose aim is to provide our customer base a friendly, cooperative, and truly web-based LOS application including docs, mobile experience and compliance.”

DSI’s comprehensive compliance and pioneering in the industry’s eDelivery/eSign tools were primary factors in Liquid Logics’ decision to pursue the partnership, Mr. Kaddah said. “There are other doc providers but no one else has the ‘proactive compliance checks’ that DSI offers. We can launch compliance checks whenever material changes in the information hit the LOS system. It returns feature-rich findings that people in the system can use to make changes on the fly.”

Currently available functionality includes production, e-delivery and eSignature of the borrower’s origination documents, including initial disclosure and redisclosure document packages. Additional functionality will be rolled out to users over the next few months. Ribultan says he expects a complete integration by year’s end.

“Our lender clients expect to have access to best software and services available anywhere in the industry,” said Derrick Logan, Senior Vice President of Strategic Development for Loan Logics. “This integration with DocMagic delivers that. We’re proud to be working with DocMagic.”

About Liquid Logics LLC

Liquid Logics, Kansas City, was founded in 2004 and is the first Cloud-based Mortgage Loan Origination System built around the consumer process and required information flow instead of the outdated industry workflow. Built to ensure high levels of customer satisfaction, Liquid Logics includes support for the entire loan production cycle, including a Cloud-based consumer portal, a trusted automated underwriting engine, full support for appraisal management -- with or without an AMC -- and a built-in, fully configured analytics dashboard. Liquid Logics is the only LOS that manages complex communications between the borrower, the lender and other third parties while maintaining a detailed audit trail of both communications and changes to the loan for compliance purposes. The LOS manages all communications between the parties, regardless of their platform, including mobile device, PC or tablet.

DocMagic Helps Mountain America Make History with VA eClosing

paperlessPress Release:
They did it with an FHA hybrid eClosing earlier this year. This time, they tackle a VA loan.

TORRANCE, Calif.-September 2, 2014-
DocMagic, Inc., the leading provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance, eSign and eDelivery solutions for the mortgage industry, is proud to announce that the firm has partnered again with Mountain America Credit Union to provide a paperless loan closing, this time for a loan insured by the Veteran's Administration. To the company's knowledge, this is one of the first VA loans that have been closed electronically since the VA made the announcement that it would begin accepting eSigned loan documents late last year.

"Mountain America Credit Union is committed to serving the men and women of the armed forces -- both those currently serving and our veterans -- by offering VA loans in a paperless environment," said Amy Moser, Vice President and Mortgage Services Manager for the Utah-based credit union. "Until now, few institutions could serve our military personnel effectively, especially those serving overseas. This loan closing proves that we can accommodate the needs of our armed forces personnel and veterans no matter where in the world they may be."

This is a significant milestone in the evolution of eClosings. Despite a VA announcement last fall that electronic signatures are acceptable for use in conjunction with the VA Home Loan program, uncertainty about whether electronic signatures were valid regarding initial disclosure only, or both initial and final disclosure(s) constrained adoption of the program. The VA's announcement confirms that its eSignature program applies to all disclosures. Mountain America Credit Union used DocMagic's patented eSign functionality for the disclosures and the closing documents.

"The government agencies involved in the home finance industry have now all confirmed that eSign is an important technology for the future," said Tim Anderson, Director of eServices for DocMagic. "Mountain America Credit Union has led the way again, becoming among the first, if not the first, to go the distance with paperless origination of a VA loan. We congratulate Mountain America for their leadership and for making it easier to do business with them than their paper based competitors."

Among the many benefits of electronic transactions, beyond gains in efficiency, recordkeeping, and security, members of the military and their families, including active duty personnel serving around the globe, gain the convenience of closing VA loans remotely. This is a significant improvement over paper-based disclosures and documentation. DocMagic and Mountain America executives are pleased to be among the first to make this service available to the industry.

DocMagic Partners with Pavaso for eClosing Pilot

PAVASOPress Release:
DocMagic participates in offering industry platform to support paperless lending

TORRANCE, Calif.-August 21, 2014-DocMagic, Inc., the leading provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance, eSign and eDelivery solutions for the mortgage industry, announced today that its strategic alliance with Pavaso will be expanded to allow the two firms to serve Franklin First Financial, Melville, New York, in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's eClosing pilot program.

"Lenders are now ready for a completely paperless loan closing process," said Dominic Iannitti, President and CEO of DocMagic. "Digital Close from Pavaso is designed to be a neutral technology platform that seamlessly integrates with other systems. That, along with DocMagic's eSign, eVault and eDelivery offerings, provides a fully supported, shrink-wrapped solution for anyone to do an eClosing. This partnership will show the industry and the CFPB that any lender can make the closing process better for consumers through the use of a completely electronic process without incurring the time and cost of creating or maintaining their own systems."

Pavaso and its Digital Close platform have been approved by the CFPB for participation in the eClosing pilot program.

"One of the prior issues with getting adoption for eClosing was providing the title and closing agents with a simple solution they could use to support their part of the closing process," said Tim Anderson, Director of eServices for DocMagic. "Pavaso has developed a system that can easily be implemented as a web service, allowing all participants involved in the transaction to sign up, log on and use it."

On its website, the CFPB says it expects its new pilot program to make it easier for borrowers to understand the closing process, and give borrowers more time to review the closing documents while providing them time to find and fix errors in documents prior to closing. All of these goals relate to complaints the agency has received from consumers.

"Paperless lending is the future for our industry and our Digital Close opens up a world of opportunity for stakeholders who want to better serve consumers and comply with new federal regulations," said Chris Ayoub, Pavaso's chief operating officer. "We can drive costs out of the equation for lenders and give borrowers the experience they've been seeking in the home finance process."

About Pavaso
Pavaso is an innovative technology company in the Real Estate Closing industry. We've created a powerful digital closing platform that takes the best of the web's collaboration and social features, integrations, analytics and enterprise scalability to bring everyone in the closing process together on the same page.
