DocMagic and SNMC Partner for eClosing THE LENDER ACHIEVED ECLOSING BENEFITS THROUGH A SINGLE-SOURCE PLATFORM AND INTUITIVE UI PLATFORM. C alifornia-headquartered DocMagic Inc. and Security National Mortgage Corporation (SNMC) have an- nounced the successful rollout of Doc- Magic's Total eClose platform. Since rolling out Total eClose in September 2018, SNMC has reduced borrower time at the clos- ing table to as little as 15 minutes and has become one of the first national lenders to offer an eClosing solution that involves no paper whatsoever. It has sped up the closing process, ensuring accuracy and loan quality and delivering newfound efficiencies for borrowers, notaries, and settlement provid- ers. Total eClose enables SNMC's customers to preview documents before closing, eSign all documents, and complete both remote and in-person eNotarizations. "Our goal was to perfect a completely digital eClosing process, not to be just an- other lender offering a basic hybrid closing," said Steve Johnson, President of SNMC. "Achieving our goal required a powerful end-to-end technology, a perfectly executed seamless implementation, and an intuitive interface that everyone—staff, settlement service providers, and borrowers—could use immediately, without a steep learning curve. The DocMagic implementation team was with us all the way. We never had to worry about a thing." The two companies said that they ap- proached the project as partners to ensure swift adoption and a quick understanding of the new workflow-driven eClosing pro- cess for both SNMC's staff and customers. DocMagic worked with the lender, leverag- ing its eMortgage expertise to help sculpt a unique strategy and a successful go-to- market launch. "Our implementation teams function like expert consultants—we work closely with each client, guiding them every step of the way," said Dominic Iannitti, President and CEO of DocMagic. "There is a huge number of moving pieces in an eClosing solution. As a single-source solution, we have intricate knowledge of every one of them, so there are none of the issues that plague other provid- ers—not only immediately after the imple- mentation but over the long haul as well."
