Global DMS Launches SnapVal to Provide Instant, Accurate, Guaranteed Appraisal Pricing Early on in the Origination Process

DALLAS, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- MBA's Technology Solutions Conference & Expo -- Global DMS, a leading provider of cloud-based valuation management software, today announced the official rollout of SnapVal(TM), an automated solution that utilizes the property address to return a guaranteed price on any residential appraisal in the U.S.

Under the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rule, lenders are bound by the fees represented on the Loan Estimate (LE). Unlike static fees, appraisals are a variable cost that lenders constantly struggle to ensure pricing accuracy. If there is any change to the appraisal fee, TRID dictates that a revised LE must be issued to the consumer. This requirement, coupled with strong lender motivation to complete deals and close on time, often results in the lender absorbing appraisal fee discrepancies or scrambling to quickly re-issue the LE.

"We identified a need in the marketplace to address a common problem that lenders are regularly challenged with in providing accurate appraisal quotes and then ensuring pricing on the Loan Estimate is consistent and compliant," stated Vladimir Bien-Aime, president and CEO at Global DMS.

"Lenders that have a digital mortgage strategy in place to receive, and in turn disclose accurate appraisal fees on the LE at first issuance will be a step ahead of competitors that haven't reconciled their workflows in this unforgiving zero-tolerance environment. SnapVal is a piece of technology that lenders currently lack from their digital mortgage strategies. By leveraging SnapVal, they will save time and money, as well as increase their pull-through rates while elevating the borrower experience."

SnapVal integrates seamlessly with loan origination systems (LOS), digital mortgage point-of-sale (POS) systems, borrower-facing web portals and propriety lending or servicing platforms. Global DMS provides a configurable RESTful API web service that facilitates swift and cost-effective integrations.

SnapVal allows lenders to easily automate the insertion of the appraisal fee into the LE, expedite payment, and enable real-time ordering of appraisals from directly from within their software system of choice. Lenders have several options to configure appraisal pricing including the lowest price provider, percentage allocation, or round-robin distribution. This helps hone pricing accuracy by taking into account key factors including region, appraiser availability, experience, and more. As a result, appraisal pricing guesswork is removed and replaced with automation accuracy.

Bien-Aime adds, "Until now, lenders haven't had a viable option to receive an accurate appraisal cost upfront - before an order is placed. SnapVal allows lenders to get a guaranteed quote that will always be correct and will never have to be re-disclosed."

Global DMS will be attending the MBA's Technology Solutions Conference & Expo 2019 from March 24 - 27 in Dallas at the Hyatt Regency. To learn more, contact the company to arrange a discussion time at the show productinfo@globaldms.com.

OpenClose Extends its Digital Mortgage Ecosystem with New POS Offering – ConsumerAssist Digital POS

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- OpenClose(R), an industry-leading multi-channel loan origination system (LOS) and mortgage fintech provider, announced that it is has scheduled a May release for the official rollout of its much anticipated digital mortgage point-of-sale (POS) solution, ConsumerAssist(tm) Digital POS. This new integrated solution is a unique offering that combines a proven and mature 100 percent browser-based end-to-end LOS and PPE with new state-of-the-art dynamic digital mortgage POS technology.

As a single source vendor for digital POS, LOS, PPE and Business Intelligence, OpenClose is able to slash the loan manufacturing cost and complexity by eliminating the need to cobble together disparate systems with different SLAs, contracts and pricing models.

The self-service POS capabilities that ConsumerAssist Digital POS provides are state-of-the-art and feature rich. Lenders can now automate and organize numerous tasks that would normally be performed in the back-office via the LOS, and push them closer to borrowers earlier in the origination process. As a result, workflow efficiencies increase, the lending process is sped up, costs are reduced and new business is captured at a higher rate and lower cost.

"We feel that lenders leveraging the efficiencies of a single consolidated platform will be able to most effectively sustain and increase profitability in an environment with more competition for fewer loans and tighter margins," says JP Kelly, president of OpenClose.

Jason Regalbuto, CEO / CTO of OpenClose, adds: "Borrowers today and in the future are expecting streamlined experiences with extreme ease of use and automation like Amazon and Uber offer. Mortgage origination and lending involve very complex processes. We think with ConsumerAssist Digital POS, we have significantly reimagined these processes and workflows for the future and the expectations that borrowers have. We've effectively closed the loop between POS and LOS."

Key feature & benefits of OpenClose's new digital POS and LOS platform:

* Consumer-facing website can be customized to reflect the lender's own branding
* Elegant, intuitive screens and wizards swiftly walks borrowers through the entire application process
* Instant Verification of Employment (VOE)
* Instant Verification of Income (VOI)
* Instant Verification of Assets (VOA)
* Instant Verification of Tax Returns
* Automated loan conditioning
* Secure document capture and tracking
* Real-time messaging between borrower, loan officer and other relevant parties
* Activities calendar monitors when tasks are due and auto-sends email reminders and/or text notifications
* Affinity portal connects realtor, builder and settlement partners to the manufacturing process
* Ability to access the system on any mobile device or tablet.

OpenClose is incorporating into ConsumerAssist Digital POS their DecisionAssist(tm) product and pricing engine, automated underwriting capability, fee calculation engine and more.

OpenClose also offers ConsumerAssist(tm) Web which helps establish a consumer direct lending channel by developing websites that engage borrowers with tools to perform much of the application and loan qualification process themselves without involving a salesperson. ConsumerAssist Web can be combined with ConsumerAssist Digital POS, together dubbed ConsumerAssist(tm) Enterprise, to offer comprehensive self-service technology that manages the bulk of the origination process for lenders.

OpenClose recently announced the availability of a robust RESTful API Suite that the company developed to enable quick system-to-system integrations, seamless data exchange and execution of transactions. In addition to making integrations easier to complete, it further lowers lender costs, which is a key focus of OpenClose as their customers operate in a margin compressed business climate.
