Lori Johnson, DocMagic’s Director of Client Services, has been named as a 2020 HousingWire Insider thanks to her recent eClosing implementation successes.

The honor is bestowed upon 50 people from across the housing industry, including mortgage lending, Fintech, and real estate. HousingWire’s editorial board selected the honorees based on their accomplishments over the last 12 months.

“This award is well-deserved and we’re elated HousingWire selected Lori as a winner,” said Dominic Iannitti, DocMagic’s President and CEO. “She is a roll-your-sleeves up, get-it-done type of technology executive who places the company and customer first every single time with every single thing she does."

Johnson successfully onboarded numerous new lender clients during the pandemic, despite the sudden influx of lenders in need of eClosing platforms and remote online notarization (RON) technology. Over the last year—and during 2020 in particular—Johnson and her team have taken multiple marquee mortgage bankers and mega-lenders live.

RON: The last mile in the eClosing marathon

She managed that while overcoming the added challenge of having to work remotely. Johnson worked feverishly to build a remote model to support distance-based implementations involving multiple teams and parties, and also created a remote training program to quickly train new DocMagic implementation specialists.

According to HousingWire, the 50 honorees are their companies’ “go-to” team members, the ones companies turn to with their most important and challenging projects.

“This year’s Insiders represent the unsung heroes of their companies; the team that, behind the scenes, kept everything on track during unprecedented times,” HousingWire Magazine Editor Kelsey Ramírez said. “This year, the need for the services of these 50 winners shown greater than ever, and they rose to the challenge.”

Brian D. 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.

One reason Pannell received the honor was due to his forward thinking on eClosings. He has long been a proponent of the digital solutions in the mortgage industry.

Pannell points out that many key barriers to eClosings appear to be coming down. In the past the most restrictive barrier to adoption has been the limited amount of investors and financial support of the eMortgage as a tradeable commodity, but Ginnie Mae and FHL Banks have announced that they’re opening up the market to lenders who didn’t have anyone to sell their eNotes to and will fund them in the secondary market.

Additionally, Pannell notes, there has been groundbreaking movement at the federal and state levels to accept eNotarizations, which is a game changer when it comes to being able to complete the entire eClosing package electronically.

Press Release:
TORRANCE, Calif. — DocMagic, Inc., the mortgage industry’s leading provider of document production, automated compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that it has been accepted into the Elite Provider Program for American Land Home Title Association (ALTA).

Applicants to the ALTA Elite Provider Program must provide their five most recent balance sheets demonstrating the company’s financial stability and a list of ten references. Each is assessed based on its financial strength, its commitment to the overall industry, its national distribution capabilities, and reference checks with existing customers.

Acceptance into this program means that DocMagic now joins an elite group of premier service providers that promote the highest industry standards and benefits for the title and settlement services industry. In addition, as an Elite Provider DocMagic is now able to offer all ALTA members various discounts on its solutions and services.

“This designation underscores DocMagic’s mission to deliver critical, robust technology solutions that address complex compliance issues and needs for both lenders and title companies,” said Tim Anderson, director of eServices at DocMagic. “ALTA’s rigorous vetting process and high standards mirror DocMagic’s own internal guidelines, and we’re pleased not only to be named to the Elite Provider Program, but also to demonstrate the soundness of our solutions and our practices to the title community.”

DocMagic’s solutions, which are currently being leveraged by the title and settlement services industry, deliver a comprehensive, easy-to-use collaboration system for live fee data exchange and paperless eClosing between lender and title systems. To date, solution adoption has been well-received and continues to gain momentum.

Key initiatives that helped make DocMagic an ALTA Elite Provider:

• SmartCLOSE™ – a robust collaborative closing portal for TRID compliance that connects lenders, settlement provider and other real estate entities to ensure that all data is accurate, complete and compliant before documents are drawn.
• Total eClose™ – a comprehensive digital mortgage solution that ensures all documents (not just the final CD) are completed consistently, compliantly and more efficiently, which greatly increases loan funding turn times by reducing any post-closing trailing docs and potential buy back issues.
• Uniform Closing Dataset (UCD) approved technology – DocMagic is now certified by both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to deliver copies of the borrower CD and XML data at the time of closing, as well as any data changes made 90 days after closing.

DocMagic’ solutions have been proven to solve the title and settlement services industries’ mounting challenges regarding data integrity, document versioning, process accuracy and compliance via real-time collaboration tools and final approval by lenders. Data updates are automatically validated inside DocMagic’s industry-leading compliance engine to ensure that clients are always within tolerance thresholds; final documents cannot be generated until all conditions are cleared.

DocMagic will be attending the 2017 National Settlement Services Summit (NS3) being held June 7-9 at the Marriott Rivercenter in San Antonio, Texas. To arrange a meeting with DocMagic at the show, contact Tim Anderson at 904-608-3966 or tim@docmagic.com.
