New integration enables appraisal report submission to the GSEs with enhanced data fields, ZIP file support and modernized infrastructure

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 1, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter®), an innovative leader in mortgage technology, today announced it has established an integration with Uniform Collateral Data Portal® (UCDP®), a single portal jointly maintained by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the GSEs).

The new integration enables submission of appraisal report data to the GSEs via UCDP, supporting lenders in the mandate to adopt new appraisal standards and signaling Dark Matter’s readiness to meet the new initiative well in advance of lenders’ required adoption.

Innovations to work with this effort include both the Empower® and the ExchangeSM Network support for a brand-new appraisal report data file, ZIP file submissions, integrating six new data fields to enhance property detail and a streamlined process for extracting PDF and XML files. These capabilities allow Dark Matter to assist lenders in transitioning to new UAD 3.6, simplifying reporting across any residential property type.

The new UAD 3.6 is available for GSE-approved lenders during the limited production period, which begins September 8, 2025, and is required for all appraisal reports submitted to UCDP on or after November 2, 2026.

“By proactively adapting to these industry-driven updates, Dark Matter is demonstrating its technological leadership and commitment to driving efficiency in the mortgage ecosystem,” said Stephanie Durflinger, chief product officer at Dark Matter. “This achievement helps us better serve our lending partners and opens the door to broader capabilities in digital appraisal delivery.”

Dark Matter CEO Sean Dugan named to Inman’s 2025 Best of Finance list

Inman's Best of Finance Award is managed entirely by its editorial team to independently recognize those leaders in the lending industry who are driving measurable change

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 26, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter®), an innovative leader in mortgage technology, today announced its CEO, Sean Dugan, has been named to Inman’s 2025 Best of Finance list. Now in its third year, the award is a prestigious industry recognition honoring professionals in the mortgage and financial services sectors who demonstrate exceptional innovation, influence and impact on the residential real estate ecosystem.

Sean Dugan, CEO of Dark Matter Technologies
Image caption: Sean Dugan, CEO of Dark Matter Technologies.

Dugan is a tech visionary known for his ability to translate lender pain points into pragmatic innovation. His diverse background across sales, marketing, account management and client services gives him a 360-degree view of the mortgage ecosystem. Since Dark Matter’s 2023 acquisition by Constellation Software, Dugan has architected a companywide shift to a customer-centric culture, first as chief revenue officer and, since April 2025, as its CEO.

In the 18 months since Dark Matter’s transition to new ownership, Dugan’s initiatives have had measurable industry impacts. The Empower® loan origination system (LOS) by Dark Matter continues to gain strong traction among lenders, signaling both market confidence and the platform’s alignment with evolving industry demands. More than half of Dark Matter’s client base has adopted its reimagined digital point-of-sale portals, and among those users, more than 85% of loan applications are now submitted through digital channels. This shift represents not just feature adoption but a fundamental change in lender and borrower behavior — one that validates Dugan’s emphasis on modern, user-centric design and seamless workflows.

Dugan played a pivotal role in one of the company’s most technically ambitious initiatives: a complete migration to Amazon Web Services. Completed three months ahead of schedule and with zero disruption to clients, the transition improved total profitability margin by 4.8%. The AIVA® suite of AI-powered virtual assistants has also seen exponential growth under Dugan’s leadership. In just the past three years, the company has processed over 356 million pages across more than 105 million documents, extracting over 148 million data labels through AIVA Docs.

“Sean’s leadership has helped usher in a new era where client voice drives innovation, where AI delivers measurable results, and where openness and agility are expected, not exceptional,” said Bonnie Wilhelm, CEO of Andromeda, “In reshaping expectations for the LOS — arguably the most essential system in a lender’s tech stack — Sean hasn’t just redefined what’s possible. He’s reset the bar for what lenders expect from their technology partners. We are incredibly happy for him and appreciate this well-deserved industry recognition.”

Dark Matter Technologies adds side-by-side results comparison and automated, rules-based reviews to dual AUS feature in the Empower LOS

New functionality helps originators quickly compare findings and see more options for borrowers

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 10, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter®), an innovative leader in mortgage technology, today announced enhancements to the dual automated underwriting system (AUS) submission feature within the Empower® loan origination system (LOS). When users submit loan data simultaneously to the AUS for both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (the government-sponsored enterprises, or GSEs), the Empower LOS will now display the GSEs’ respective AUS findings side by side along with rules-based loan recommendations powered by the AIVA® Rules engine.

Image caption: Dark Matter Technologies.

The side-by-side display of AUS findings helps loan originators quickly compare results from the GSEs to identify the most favorable option for each borrower. This can surface opportunities to save money or shorten the loan process. For example, if one GSE’s findings indicate the property qualifies for an appraisal waiver while the other does not, the borrower could potentially save hundreds of dollars in appraisal costs and close several days sooner.

Dual AUS functionality in the Empower LOS is further enhanced by the AIVA Rules engine, which analyzes AUS results and recommends the loan path that best fits the lender’s business rules. The engine comes pre-configured with default logic and can be tailored to align with company-specific policies, helping drive consistency and efficiency in loan production.

“Dark Matter’s approach to innovation is tightly focused on helping lenders curb the runaway time and expense of loan origination while delivering outstanding borrower experiences,” said Sean Dugan, CEO at Dark Matter. “Our enhanced dual AUS functionality within the Empower LOS gives originators timely, actionable insights to help borrowers secure the best loan — all while supporting faster, more efficient production.”

Freddie Mac collaborated with Dark Matter on this initiative. “By supporting dual AUS submission, Dark Matter is helping lenders recommend the best-fit loan for each borrower early in the process,” said Christina Randolph, vice president of distribution at Freddie Mac. This capability helps streamline decision-making and reduce costs while ultimately delivering a smoother, faster experience for borrowers — key outcomes we’re committed to supporting.”

About Dark Matter Technologies:

Operating with the nimble nature of a startup and the disciplined maturity of one of the industry’s leading providers, Dark Matter Technologies delivers powerful technology with unparalleled automation and relentless innovation to leading mortgage lenders, servicers and companies nationwide.

Dark Matter Technologies announces comprehensive eClosing integration for its NOVA LOS platform

Powered by Wolters Kluwer, eClose solution streamlines mortgage closings, supports cost savings and facilitates the compliant transfer and sale of digital loans

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 3, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter®), an innovative leader in mortgage technology, announced today that the NOVA loan origination system (LOS) platform now features a comprehensive integration to the eClosing capabilities powered by the Wolters Kluwer eOriginal® ClosingCenter. Designed to improve the mortgage closing process, eClose will help lenders reduce time-to-close, realize cost savings and provide a better borrower experience while also enabling secondary market activities.

The eClose functionality enables users to seamlessly execute the full spectrum of eClosing options: hybrid eClosings, In-Person Electronic Notarization (IPEN) closings and digital “Remote Online Notarization” (RON) closings. This allows lenders to evolve their eClosing strategy over time and provide borrowers with flexible closing options.

The eOriginal® ClosingCenter solution allows NOVA clients to securely eSign and create eNotes, then deposit loan documents into the eOriginal eAsset® Management system for secondary market activities. This allows for compliant transfer and sale of digital lending assets. eSigned documents in the eVault are legally compliant and maintain the highest level of legal enforceability throughout a digital loan’s lifecycle. This solution simplifies digital lending, reducing paperwork, ensuring compliance and speeding up loan cycles.

“With this capability, lenders can deliver an entirely new level of convenience and efficiency,” said Sean Dugan, the chief executive officer of Dark Matter Technologies. “This saves time and money for lenders while allowing them to engage in secondary market activities and gives homebuyers the convenience of faster closings at the time and place of their choosing.”

Dark Matter Technologies added the NOVA LOS to its product line-up in 2024 as part of a dual-product strategy alongside the Empower® LOS to provide innovative solutions and consultative services for credit unions, IMBs and small to midsize banks. The NOVA LOS provides a reliable, cost-effective solution with minimal administrative and supports retail, wholesale and correspondent lending as well as a wide range of mortgage products.

“By integrating flexible, modern eClosing options to NOVA LOS, Dark Matter is putting lenders on a fast track to a fully digital future,” said Shreya Shankar, the vice president of partnerships at Wolters Kluwer Financial & Corporate Compliance. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Dark Matter to help NOVA LOS users enhance borrower satisfaction, increase revenue, streamline operational efficiency and unlock the potential of the secondary market through seamless eClosings.”

About Florida Coaches Coalition:

The Florida Coaches Coalition (FCC) was founded in December 2021 by Dr. Andrew Ramjit, then County Athletic Director of Brevard Public School to advocate for improved compensation and working conditions for high school coaches across the state. The coalition was founded in response to concerns over outdated supplemental pay systems, which have not kept pace with inflation and the rising cost of living. Beyond pay, there was a need in Florida to unify coaches across all sports and levels (high school, middle school, and youth).

The coalition began as a grassroots movement under the hashtag #PayFLCoaches, gaining rapid traction through social media. Dr. Ramjit’s initial tweet highlighting the issue went viral, amassing over 500,000 impressions and drawing national media attention. Since its inception, the FCC has grown into Florida’s largest coaching organization, boasting over 15,000 members representing more than 1,200 teams statewide. The FCC’s mission is to “fight for the rights of every Florida coach,” focusing on areas such as fair compensation, improved working conditions, and access to professional development resources.

Florida Coaches Coalition is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. https://www.floridacoaches.com/

Out of nearly 3,000 submissions, “The Paper Bear” is one of 187 films chosen for this year’s festival lineup, making its debut in the state that inspired its creation.

“The Paper Bear” is a feature film that combines live-action wilderness footage with 2D animation to explore Florida’s ecosystems through the eyes of a father and son on a journey to find the Florida black bear.

As they travel, stories shared around the campfire transform into animated sequences that offer a unique perspective on the region’s biodiversity. The film features rare, close-up footage of wild Florida black bears in their natural habitat, captured by director Arix Zalace, who spent two years documenting their behavior in the field.

Informative and accessible for all ages, “The Paper Bear” encourages audiences to connect with nature and better understand the importance of conservation.

“’The Paper Bear’ wouldn’t have made its grand entrance without the amazing hard work and unwavering support of every single member of our team, our donors, and the extended family of believers who helped bring this film to life,” said Sean Couch, Co-Founder, Executive Producer & Board Member. “We like to think that the film’s story – the power of compassion, perseverance, and hope – will resonate with all who watch it. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind adventure at the Florida Film Festival – grab your tickets and witness the magic come alive on the big screen!”
