TESTIMONIAL: "We originally learned about Snapdocs from our escrow partners, who spoke highly of the company and the platform. And Snapdocs, after reviewing all of the technology vendors out there, they really ended up being the right solution for us. They met all of our requirements, which pointed back to customer experience. We liked that they have the ability to tag all of our documents. And they were a vendor that our escrow partners liked and were using, so I knew I would have escrow acceptance." —Tamra Rieger, COO, Evergreen Home Loans
