One of the key steps in the mortgage process is title and closing, which involves verifying the property title, conducting necessary searches, and preparing the closing documents. Using Ellie Mae’s Title & Closing Center, Encompass users can perform three of these common tasks without having to leave the secure Encompass environment:
- Order and receive title reports.
- Order closing docs and services electronically from their preferred providers.
- Order and receive fee quotes.
Ellie Mae’s Title & Closing Center within Encompass is a game-changer for lenders and settlement service providers involved in the mortgage title and closing process. The Title & Closing Center can help lenders to save time and money, improve compliance, and enhance communication with borrowers and other parties involved in the closing process.
- After Encompass users order fee quotes, title reports, and closing products electronically from their preferred providers using the Title & Closing Center, the provider logs in to the Title & Closing Center to view and accept the orders, ask questions, and upload completed documents.
- Then the Encompass user views a list of uploaded documents and imports them into the Encompass loan file.
- The provider can also upload fees and other data in the Title & Closing Center that the Encompass user can retrieve and import into the 2015 Itemization form, closing forms, and other relevant areas in the Encompass loan file.
