DocMagic Teams with the Art To Grow On Children’s Art Center to Provide 100 Customized Holiday Art Boxes for Patients at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., a comprehensive eMortgage software solutions provider, announced that it has purchased 100 custom designed Art Boxes to Art To Grow On Children's Art Center Inc., which delivered the Art Boxes to patients being treated at the Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), a non-profit, pediatric academic medical center that provides patient care, education, and leading-edge research to help children in need.

Each Art Box contains a master artist lesson inspired by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, a holiday frame, a journal, a sketchbook, colorful markers, wooden cars, hearts or animals for coloring and decorating, and foam snowflakes or snowman with holiday stickers.

"We are grateful to DocMagic for realizing the immense value that our Art Boxes provide children who are being cared for at Children's Hospital Los Angeles," said Lauren Dennis-Perelmuter, founder and president at Art To Grow On Children's Art Center, Inc. "These Art Boxes accomplish something that other gifts such as one-time use toys and electronic devices are unable to do. They give children a respite from the daily realities of staying in a hospital, inspiring and allowing their imagination to soar, their critical thinking skills to be exercised and refined, and their self-esteem and self-confidence to be elevated. These essential life skills are critical not only in the healing process, but brings joy and relief to them directly during their stay at the hospital."

Notable is that the Children's Art Center worked tirelessly for more than a year prior to creating and packaging the Art Boxes, going through an extensive vetting process to ensure that they were non-toxic and environmentally safe for patients residing in a medicinal setting. The Girl Scouts and other community volunteers joined forces to assemble to boxes, which was a very hands-on and involved group effort. Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUhMt1MNDMI&feature=youtu.be

Perelmuter says that the Art Boxes become a one-of-a-kind, very rewarding memory not only for the children, but for their families trying to bring a sense of normalcy to their lives while in a hospital. She adds that the right kind of exposure to art not only gives children opportunities to invent, create, innovate and discover, but also allows them to become optimal, independent thinkers and problem solvers who possess strengthened imaginations.

"We are honored to participate and happy to help with this noble and highly creative cause that Art To Grow On Children's Art Center is providing kids at Children's Hospital Los Angeles," stated Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "DocMagic is proud to be a part of having a very unique and positive impact on the lives of these children, opening up a new world of creativity and imagination that they themselves construct."

DocMagic is an award-winning Southern California-based software firm that automates key parts of the mortgage lending process, ensuring compliance, increasing efficiencies, making what can a confusing and complex undertaking for borrowers much easier, while at the same time removing enormous amounts of paper that lenders and borrowers traditionally deal with. The company is known for its charity work and philanthropy efforts both locally and nationally.

Perelmuter says that the art boxes will be delivered through January 1 for the holiday season but they can also be purchased anytime throughout the year. They are ideal for a myriad of different occasions. Anyone can order the boxes from individuals, to families, schools, Girls Scouts, Boys Scouts, organizations, companies, and other entities.

SecurityNational Mortgage Implements a Fully Paperless Closing Process Using DocMagic’s Total eClose Platform

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant and document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, and SecurityNational Mortgage Corporation (SNMC), an independent national mortgage banker, jointly announced that they successfully rolled out DocMagic's comprehensive Total eClose(TM) platform.

Since rolling out Total eClose in September, SNMC has reduced borrower time at the closing table to as little as 15 minutes, and become one of the first national lenders to offer a true eClosing solution that involves no paper whatsoever. It has dramatically sped up the closing process, ensuring accuracy and loan quality, and delivering newfound efficiencies for borrowers, notaries and settlement providers. Total eClose enables SNMC's customers to preview documents prior to closing, eSign all documents, and complete both remote and in-person eNotarizations. As a result, SNMC is now positioned to capture more market share, reduce operational costs, expedite closing times and elevate the borrower experience.

"Our goal was to perfect a completely digital eClosing process, not to be just another 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. We got that and more with DocMagic. Plus, the DocMagic implementation team was with us all the way. We never had to worry about a thing."

The two companies approached the project as partners to ensure swift adoption and a quick understanding of the new workflow-driven eClosing process for both SNMC's staff and customers. DocMagic worked hand-in-hand with the lender, leveraging its vast eMortgage expertise to help sculpt a unique strategy and a successful go-to-market launch. Unlike other document and eClosing solution providers, DocMagic takes an ultra hands-on approach to implementations, from developing the project roadmap, to training all parties-such as staff, title agents and notaries-to synchronized testing of each facet of the Total eClose platform.

"Our implementation teams function like expert consultants-we work very closely with each client, guiding them literally 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 providers-not only immediately after the implementation, but over the long haul as well. In contrast, lenders who choose incomplete or cobbled-together eClosing technologies may have to hit the restart button within 12 to 18 months and search for a comprehensive solution."

DocMagic is a recognized eClosing pioneer, and has been a part of virtually every state-first eClosing in the U.S.

"We're pleased to work with companies like SecurityNational Mortgage that truly understand the value of implementing a 100 percent paperless eClosing process," said Iannitti. "They have taken a leadership position in facilitating eClosings and are ready for an inflow of new business that will be conducted very efficiently."

DocMagic's comprehensive suite of eSolutions and eServices also includes SMARTDocs, eNotes capability, eVault technology, eWarehouse lending, and even loan servicing.

DocMagic Teams with Several Southern California Non-Profit Groups and Organizations in Support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that it has donated a shipment of its popular custom-made pink bunny slippers, which will be handed out at a blood drive event for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Twenty percent of all donated blood will be given to cancer treatment and research.

The upcoming event is being hosted by Golden Heart LA, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping children who suffer from life-threatening diseases or disabilities, and IET Capital, a real estate financing firm. Hundreds of the soft, fuzzy slippers will be on hand; anyone who participates in the event is welcome to a pair as part of the fun spirited giveaway.

Founded in 1987 by Dominic Iannitti, DocMagic has had a long-time mascot named "Doc," a bunny that has become a recognizable part of DocMagic's brand within the mortgage industry. In 2016, the bunny slippers were officially introduced and handed out at a mortgage technology convention where they ended up being in surprisingly high demand. Over the years the slippers have grown in popularity.

"I was at a mortgage trade show and was asked by a cancer survivor if she could have a pair for a friend going through chemo and that's what spawned the idea to donate them to worthy causes," stated Margaret Wendt, a strategic business advisor and consultant for DocMagic. "Given that it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we wanted to offer participants, donors and volunteers at this important blood drive something fun to take home. If the pink slippers bring a simple smile to someone's face, then it's a win in our book."

Incidentally, IET Capital, a sponsor of the event, happens to be a mortgage originator and an actual end user of DocMagic's loan document preparation software, which is a widely utilized technology in the mortgage banking industry.

Event Details:
* What: a dual-purpose event to support Breast Cancer Awareness month and donate blood
* When: Saturday, October 13
* Time: 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. PDT
* Location: 8056 Telegraph Road, Suite A in Downey, CA 90240 - inside the Bloodmobile.

LifeStream says that it is proud to join local and national organizations to increase breast cancer awareness. To make a contribution or donate blood, people can show up at the event or contact LifeStream to make an appointment at 800-879-4484 or visit their website https://www.lstream.org/expresspass.

Freddie Mac Expands eMortgage Solutions with DocMagic’s eVault Technology to Store and Control eNotes

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced today that Freddie Mac has implemented its SaaS-based eVault technology and SmartREGISTRY(TM) platform.

DocMagic's eVault provides a secure electronic repository for storing documents and performing automated eNote certification to Freddie Mac eMortgage lenders via Loan Selling Advisor(R). By automating the eNote certification process, Freddie Mac will speed the funding process, thereby improving liquidity in the mortgage markets and reducing lender's warehouse line costs.

"Freddie Mac is committed to streamlining the mortgage process for lenders and borrowers, and has been a leader in purchasing eMortgages since 2006," said Andy Higgenbotham, Freddie Mac's Single Family Chief Operating Officer. "We rolled out our automated certification process in 2015 to speed up the funding process, thereby improving liquidity in the mortgage markets and reducing lender's warehouse line costs. We are now expanding this process to include the DocMagic platform."

DocMagic's eVault provides safe and secure storage for sensitive loan documents. It also automatically parses and validates data in a SmartDoc eNote against data in the user's core system of record. Additionally, DocMagic's SmartREGISTRY platform enables holders of eNotes to securely transfer these electronic documents to other eVault systems, such as those used by investors, conduit aggregators and servicers. Ultimately, it facilitates real-time access, delivery, storage and much needed control of electronic loan files.

"Freddie Mac has been a long-time visionary and champion of eMortgages over the years and has made great strides with their unwavering commitment to automation across the supply chain," stated Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO at DocMagic. "Now, with the successful rollout of SmartDoc eNote data validation prior to funding, this demonstrates the advantages and a clear-cut ROI of going completely 'e.' We look forward to ongoing collaboration with Freddie Mac and to further adoption of the digital mortgage process."

Notable is that that Freddie Mac encourages the use of 'SMART' (securable, manageable, archivable, retrievable, transferable) eNotes because static documents do not contain source data, and thus make it difficult, costly and time consuming to confirm the data on documents match.

DocMagic established a process that guides lenders on how to begin using SmartDoc eNotes. The company's eVault technology is integrated with its Total eClose(TM) platform, which is a comprehensive eClosing solution that creates a 100 percent paperless digital mortgage process - from origination through eClosing, eWarehouse lending, investor eDelivery and eServicing.

About DocMagic:

DocMagic, Inc. is the leading provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance, eSign and eDelivery solutions for the mortgage industry. Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Torrance, Calif., DocMagic, Inc. develops software, mobile apps, processes and web-based systems for the production and delivery of compliant loan document packages.

DocMagic Integrates eSign Technology with MortgageHippo’s Digital Lending Platform

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, and MortgageHippo, a Fintech-driven digital lending platform, announced a seamless eSign integration between their two platforms.

This integration enables MortgageHippo's lender customers to provide borrowers with the ability to electronically sign documents at any stage of the mortgage process, from point-of-sale to closing. eSignatures eliminate the time constraints and accessibility limitations of manual signatures, thus providing lenders with a faster mortgage process and reduced origination costs. The eSignature process that MortgageHippo provides via DocMagic is as legal and valid as a manual process using printed and wet signed documents.

MortgageHippo provides mortgage lenders with a comprehensive suite of white-labeled web and mobile-ready products that enable a modern, efficient, secure and fully online borrower experience from the point-of-sale to closing.

Lenders can order disclosures directly from their loan origination systems (LOS), most of which are already integrated with DocMagic. MortgageHippo then provides eDelivery of the disclosures to the consumer via the MortgageHippo borrower portal for compliant eSigning using DocMagic's eSign technology. This service is available for initial disclosures, Loan Estimates (LE), Closing Disclosures (CD) and closing documents.

"If lenders want to stay competitive, they need the tools to satisfy borrowers' growing appetite for an easy and robust digital experience," said Joe Dahleen, EVP and CSO at MortgageHippo. "MortgageHippo's integration with DocMagic allows us to provide those tools to lenders by offering eSignature capability throughout the entire mortgage process."

"We are pleased to partner with MortgageHippo and offer our mutual lender clients a strong digital mortgage point-of-sale solution that integrates tightly with our platform and LOS partners," said Steve Ribultan, director of business development at DocMagic. "Integrating with MortgageHippo is yet another step that DocMagic is taking to deliver on the promise of achieving a truly paperless digital mortgage process."

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that on Thursday, May 24, the entire company participated in Red Nose Day - an effort to help end child poverty both in the U.S. and in some of the poorest communities in the world. Red Noses can still be purchased from Walgreens retail outlets through June 2, 2018 in support of the fundraising campaign.

Red Nose Day is a fundraising campaign run by the non-profit organization Comic Relief Inc., a registered U.S. 501(c)(3) public charity. In 2015, Red Nose Day officially launched in the U.S. with a mission to bring people together to have fun, raise money, create awareness and help change the lives of children living in poverty. Globally, the event has raised over $1 billion since its launch in the U.K. in 1988.

"We want to continually give back to our community and those in need, and celebrating Red Nose Day is a very fun and novel way to do it while helping impoverished children," stated Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "Our employees were excited to participate and had a blast doing it. We even had some of our staff at a mortgage banking conference in New York wearing red noses in our booth on the trade show floor, helping spread the word."

Pictures of DocMagic employees supporting Red Nose Day can be found on the company's Facebook page and a video can be found on YouTube.

The official event was televised by NBC on Thursday, May 24 at 7:00 p.m. PDT. A number of different celebrities and comedians showed to support Red Nose Day, which included Julia Roberts, Jack Black, Jennifer Garner, Kelly Clarkson, Ben Stiller, Sarah Silverman and Marlon Wayans, to name a few.

"We are very proud to have helped so many worthy causes raise awareness with this program the past 17 years," says Christopher Laird Simmons, member PRSA and ASCAP, and Neotrope CEO. "When my late father and I first launched the PR Grants in 2000 we felt we could help out an organization or two with our services and expertise, over writing a tiny check that wouldn't pay for a month of coffee and muffins."

There is no fee to apply. Applications are being accepted through July 1, 2018. Complete grant information can be found on the PR Grants website: https://prgrants.com/.

About the Non-Profit PR Grant:
The Non-Profit PR Grant(TM) program was originally launched in 2000 to help assist U.S. 501(c)(3) worthy causes to raise awareness, attract halo sponsors, and better connect with donors and volunteers. Other PR industry firms have since copied the name, but ours is the original.

With this cause-related marketing grant program, Neotrope has been honored to help many worthy causes in past years, including: The C Diff Foundation, Children Awaiting Parents, Geek Club Books, Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs Inc., Move for Hunger, Special Equestrians, Starlight Children's Foundation, World Savvy and dozens more (full list available on grants website).

Deutsche Bank Implements DocMagic’s eVault Technology

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that Deutsche Bank has successfully implemented and is actively utilizing its proprietary eVault technology.

"Deutsche Bank has an international footprint in multiple forms of lending and servicing, and having a company of their size select our eVault to safely and securely store sensitive loan documents speaks volumes about the bank's confidence in our technology," said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic, Inc. "We are very pleased to partner with Deutsche Bank on a long-term basis to help achieve its servicing goals with our eVault."

Using the DocMagic eVault, Deutsche Bank's document custody group is now empowered to take full possession of electronically originated assets for clients as the loan market continues to transition to a paperless process. DocMagic establishes a legally compliant method to securely move original electronic files from one custodian to another, while preserving unique authoritative digital ownership.

Further, the eVault ensures authentication of original documents passing between owners, irrespective of how many duplicate electronic files there may be of the same record. The repository system within DocMagic's eVault relies upon digital tamper-proof seals and a detailed, well-documented audit trail that ensures compliance and provides detailed reporting.

DocMagic also made available to Deutsche Bank the ability to leverage a unique dual-option solution that accesses its on-premise eVault installation to provide a gateway to seamlessly and securely connect to MERS via any browser, as well as by way of a direct VPN connection.

As a result of partnering with DocMagic, Deutsche Bank is now well-positioned to easily, compliantly and securely service loans housed in the eVault, creating newfound efficiencies and a competitive advantage for the bank.

DocMagic Reaches 300 Million Mortgage eSignings as More Borrowers Opt for eSigning and More Lenders Require Proof of TRID Compliance

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that it has processed more than 300 million mortgage-related electronic signatures.

This milestone achievement is the direct result of increased adoption of several DocMagic technologies that feature its comprehensive eSigning platform, which can be accessed as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) or on-premise enterprise platform. Each of DocMagic's digital platforms reports a significant increase in volume, which the company attributes to lenders' growing need to prove a TRID-compliant, 100 percent paperless mortgage process.

"Borrower demand is driving the increase in eSignings, and lenders are choosing DocMagic to get a consistent, compliant eSigning solution that spans the original LE [Loan Estimate] to the final CD [Closing Disclosure]," said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "Lenders know DocMagic is the go-to choice for compliance. We reached 300 million eSignatures because we have solved lenders' number one burden for the past two years-electronic evidence of TRID compliance-while enabling them to stay competitive and enhance the overall borrower experience."

DocMagic reports significant volume increases for SmartCLOSE(TM) and Total eClose(TM), two award-winning technologies that enable lenders to comply with TRID and UCD (Uniform Closing Dataset) guidelines. SmartCLOSE is a collaborative closing portal offering one system of record that assures accuracy, completeness, consistency and compliance of the data before final documents are drawn and the borrower electronically executes the documents using DocMagic's integrated eSign technology. Total eClose, a complete paperless, digital closing solution with integrated eSignature and eNotarization capability, provides continuous compliance checks to assure all documents are complete, current, consistent and compliant.

"A lot of existing DocMagic customers adopted our eSign technology because it's so much easier to access and use than other platforms," said Iannitti. "We were already integrated with the vast majority of LOS systems, so providing eSigning functionality was a logical extension of our service. We also added new integrations, which brought onboard new eSigning customers. Having an eSign technology that can draw new customers while expanding use among existing customers shows the ubiquitous need for the functionality DocMagic's technology provides."

DocMagic provides the most commonly used eSignature technology in the mortgage and financial services space and is the leading provider of eClosing technology for the majority of state-sponsored eClosing pilot programs to support 100 percent paperless digital mortgage transactions.

DocMagic Opens High-Tech Print Fulfillment Supercenter to Support Growth

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that it has opened a 12,000 square foot print fulfillment center minutes from its Torrance, California headquarters. DocMagic added the high tech "supercenter" to support lenders' growing need for secure, compliant paper documents as the mortgage industry transitions to a 100 percent digital mortgage process.

"Ironically, DocMagic's increasing need to produce paper documents results from the growing number of lenders using our technologies to transact paperless mortgages," said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic, who explained that even lenders employing 100 percent digital processes need to produce paper documents due to paper "fallout."

Paper fallout, which is normal and can be expected with any digital process, is usually caused when borrowers do not respond to email requests for eSigning within required timeframes or because they specifically ask their lenders to revert to paper documents. When this happens, lenders' risk of compliance violations increases. The process of printing, preparing and delivering paper documents is traditionally an intensely manual and time-consuming process, which increases lenders' risk of missed disclosure deadlines, errors and compromised data.

"Simply creating a print fulfillment center wouldn't have been an adequate solution because high risk is inherent in handling paper fallout," said Iannitti. "We needed a fulfillment center based on technology that eclipses any process-manual or automated-currently being used to process paper documents. Fortunately, this is where DocMagic excels. We created a fulfillment supercenter that operates at the height of automation in the mortgage equivalent of a sterile environment. We're very proud of what we've built."

The new fulfillment center uses biometric authentication and video monitoring to provide auditable assurance that only authorized individuals access the building and specific areas within the structure. Inside, advanced technology automates nearly every step of the paper process. Once the documents are ordered, a printer automatically feeds the paper documents directly into an automated system that scans and reads the barcodes to assure that all documents are present. The documents are then inserted into envelopes, sealed and stamped-all without human intervention. The system logs and stores all actions, so lenders can review them and produce detailed information about any document's activity, at any time. The result of this high-tech process for handling paper is a drastic reduction in the risk of errors, omissions and compromised data.

"UETA [Uniform Electronic Transactions Act] requires that consumers be allowed to opt out of electronic processes at any time, but that's just one compliance issue lenders need to address," said Iannitti. "The key difference between DocMagic and a basic software provider is DocMagic's core focus on providing a legal and compliant process. Unlike other providers, we've automated and integrated that opt out option within our workflow so lenders can avert risks that arise when transitioning to another system or vendor."

DocMagic plans to open additional regional print centers across the US over the next several years to support its expansion into other types of consumer loan programs. While there will always be some degree of fallout, as borrowers embrace the eSigning of all documents as the new norm, opting out to a paper process will become less common as well as the need to support additional fulfillment centers.

DocMagic’s UCD Technology Solution Now Supports Both Phases of Upcoming UCD Requirements

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the mortgage industry's leading provider of document production, automated compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that its technologies are now capable of supporting both phases of the upcoming UCD (Uniform Closing Dataset) requirement.

The company's technology solutions, which have been certified by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for both phases of the UCD file delivery mandate, enable lenders to start immediate testing of full UCD delivery-well in advance of the phase one 2017 deadline and the phase two 2018 deadline-as has been recommended by both GSEs.

The Uniform Closing Dataset (UCD) is a common industry dataset that allows information on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB's) Closing Disclosure to be communicated electronically.

On September 25, 2017, the GSEs will require lenders to deliver borrower data and the Closing Disclosure in the UCD file. Later, in 2018, the second phase of the mandate will require seller data to be included as well. However, according to a joint statement issued by the GSEs, both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are recommending that lenders start to "submit files with both Borrower and Seller data, if available, in order to test their processes and become familiar with the messaging from each GSE's collection system."

DocMagic's technology solutions allow lenders to fulfill the GSEs' recommendation by generating and compliantly delivering UCD files that include both borrower and seller data to the GSEs. DocMagic can also accept UCD XML data from third parties and deliver it to the GSEs. In addition, the company offers an API for direct, seamless connection to the GSEs' technologies.

"At DocMagic we went above and beyond attaining the initial GSE UCD certification because we want our customers to have the option to implement the GSE-recommended testing, which allows them to implement phase two requirements now," says Tim Anderson, director of eServices at DocMagic. "Phase one addresses the XML file for the borrower CD and associated data, but the GSEs have definitively recommended that lenders complete everything before the phase one September 25, 2017 deadline. We find that lenders that are serious about sustained profitability and growth tend to follow GSE recommendations and take action ahead of time. Now with DocMagic, all of our lender clients have that option."

To assist lender clients in preparing to meet the entire UCD mandate, DocMagic recently launched its 'UCD Control Center,' a one-stop, go-to resource for everything lenders need to know about the UCD requirement. It offers tools, documentation, interactive communication for Q&A, webinars, updates, and most importantly the ability for lenders to test for the entire UCD mandate ahead of the complete 2018 deadline.

The company says its goal is to have the bulk of its clients fully prepared to meet the requirements for both phases this year.

"Our customers and partners rely on us to do everything we can to assure they transact the safest, most compliant loans-and helping them prepare for a major new mandate like the UCD requirement is no different," said Dominic Iannitti, CEO of DocMagic. "Lenders, settlement providers and other organizations must prepare now or run the precarious risk of being unable to sell their loans. DocMagic is proud to be leading the way, yet again, to help them avert these costly risks."

DocMagic’s SmartCLOSE and Total eClose Solutions Receive ALTA ‘Elite Provider’ Designation

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the mortgage industry's leading provider of document production, automated compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that it has been accepted into the Elite Provider Program for American Land Home Title Association (ALTA).

Applicants to the ALTA Elite Provider Program must provide their five most recent balance sheets demonstrating the company's financial stability and a list of ten references. Each is assessed based on its financial strength, its commitment to the overall industry, its national distribution capabilities, and reference checks with existing customers.

Acceptance into this program means that DocMagic now joins an elite group of premier service providers that promote the highest industry standards and benefits for the title and settlement services industry. In addition, as an Elite Provider DocMagic is now able to offer all ALTA members various discounts on its solutions and services.

"This designation underscores DocMagic's mission to deliver critical, robust technology solutions that address complex compliance issues and needs for both lenders and title companies," said Tim Anderson, director of eServices at DocMagic. "ALTA's rigorous vetting process and high standards mirror DocMagic's own internal guidelines, and we're pleased not only to be named to the Elite Provider Program, but also to demonstrate the soundness of our solutions and our practices to the title community."

DocMagic's solutions, which are currently being leveraged by the title and settlement services industry, deliver a comprehensive, easy-to-use collaboration system for live fee data exchange and paperless eClosing between lender and title systems. To date, solution adoption has been well-received and continues to gain momentum.

Key initiatives that helped make DocMagic an ALTA Elite Provider:
* SmartCLOSE(TM) - a robust collaborative closing portal for TRID compliance that connects lenders, settlement provider and other real estate entities to ensure that all data is accurate, complete and compliant before documents are drawn.

* Total eClose(TM) - a comprehensive digital mortgage solution that ensures all documents (not just the final CD) are completed consistently, compliantly and more efficiently, which greatly increases loan funding turn times by reducing any post-closing trailing docs and potential buy back issues.

* Uniform Closing Dataset (UCD) approved technology - DocMagic is now certified by both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to deliver copies of the borrower CD and XML data at the time of closing, as well as any data changes made 90 days after closing.

DocMagic' solutions have been proven to solve the title and settlement services industries' mounting challenges regarding data integrity, document versioning, process accuracy and compliance via real-time collaboration tools and final approval by lenders. Data updates are automatically validated inside DocMagic's industry-leading compliance engine to ensure that clients are always within tolerance thresholds; final documents cannot be generated until all conditions are cleared.

DocMagic will be attending the 2017 National Settlement Services Summit (NS3) being held June 7-9 at the Marriott Rivercenter in San Antonio, Texas. To arrange a meeting with DocMagic at the show, contact Tim Anderson at 904-608-3966 or tim@docmagic.com.

DocMagic’s Total eClose Solution Facilitates First State Sponsored eClosing in North Carolina

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the mortgage industry's leading provider of document production, automated compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that it completed North Carolina's first 100 percent paperless eClosing. The DocMagic-driven eClosing was completed on Friday, May 5th at North State Bank and was carried out in the presence of borrowers Jason and Karen Boccardi, the North Carolina Secretary of State, a closing paralegal, an eNotary, and members of the media who documented the historical event.

Attorneys from the Hunoval Law firm attended via interactive video. The entire eClosing took only about 20 minutes to complete.

DocMagic's Total eClose(TM), which contains all the components to facilitate a fully compliant, 100 percent paperless digital closing, served as the single platform that enabled the entire transaction. eNotarization was facilitated by long-time DocMagic strategic partner World Wide Notary (WWN).

DocMagic facilitated four of the five statewide-first eClosings, as well as the CFPB's eClosing pilot program. The North Carolina eClosing was part of a state sponsored eClosing Pilot Program that was established in 2016 by North Carolina Secretary of State Elaine F. Marshall to create a best practices guide for mortgage lenders seeking the heightened security, speed and efficiency of eClosings.

North State Bank is the only lender in North Carolina, and one of only a handful of lenders nationwide, to have successfully completed a 100 percent paperless eClosing. The eNote was registered on the MERS eRegistry and made available to Mid America Mortgage, the investor in the transaction-within minutes of being executed by the borrowers.

Unlike hybrid systems that still require various documents to be papered-out, DocMagic's eClosing system enables a 100 percent paperless process-this means that the eClosing requires zero paper from any party whatsoever, including documents requiring notarization.

"There's a big difference between 100 percent paperless eClosings, and semi-paperless eClosings when it comes to quality, speed, security and efficiency," stated Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "Together, DocMagic and our partner World Wide Notary provided the most comprehensive, advanced technology solution to enable the safest, highest quality, fastest, most efficient experience-not only for the borrowers, but also for the lender, investor, and every settlement services provider at the closing table."

"This was our first North Carolina eClosing; it is not our last. We want this to become a regular option for lenders and their customers because of the many advantages eClosing offers versus the slower, traditional paper-based system," Secretary of State Elaine F. Marshall said in a statement.

Secretary of State Marshall has been a leading advocate for modernizing traditional business practices in North Carolina to better compete at the national and international levels.

"We're proud to have been selected by the state of North Carolina to participate in this historic event and to work with progressive lenders like North State Bank who are moving the industry forward into a faster, safer and more efficient closing process," said Iannitti. "We're looking forward to further supporting Secretary of State Marshall's efforts to elevate the competitiveness of businesses in North Carolina."

DocMagic's digital mortgage suite includes all the critical components required to execute a 100% paperless eClosing transaction. The single-source platform creates a highly-efficient, transparent and fully compliant eClosing process that guides users through every step, logs all activities and creates an irrefutable audit trail.

DocMagic and BeSmartee Integrate, Creating a Fast, Fully Digital Application Process for Borrowers

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the mortgage industry's leading provider of document production, automated compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that it completed an integration with BeSmartee, a leader in mortgage automation technology.

This integration creates a seamless connection between the two technologies, which fulfill the first two major events in the eMortgage process: online borrower application and electronic delivery of disclosures. Via this integration, DocMagic and BeSmartee are enabling borrowers to complete a loan application and receive disclosures in a matter of minutes, rather than the days or weeks that is typical with manual processes. Once the application is complete, disclosures are automatically created and presented to the borrower for electronic signature, with no additional effort by the lender.

"eMortgages offer better speeds, security, quality and accuracy, which translate to a better borrower experience and more efficient, economical operations for the lender," said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "This integration further escalates those benefits by allowing two great technologies to operate at their peak collaborative performance."

BeSmartee connects borrowers and lenders directly with providers that instantly validates the borrower's income, asset and credit information, such as the IRS, financial institutions, and credit bureaus. The technology's auto-population feature helps borrowers complete the application in a fraction of the time, while its validation feature provides lenders with vetted information for a faster underwriting process.

DocMagic technology saves time by generating a fully-compliant electronic disclosure package based on the borrower's information in a matter of minutes, rather than the days it takes with even the fastest manual processes. That package is then instantly presented to the borrower, who can review and execute the documents on-screen, once again reducing a traditionally days-long process to minutes.

"A true eMortgage uses no paper at all. It's a start-to-finish electronic process that requires collaboration among certain technology providers," said Iannitti. "DocMagic is proud to be the solution that connects not only those technologies, but also all of the entities that use them, to enable a truly electronic process. It's great to partner with progressive companies like BeSmartee who are helping to make eMortgages possible."

"The BeSmartee/DocMagic integration avails a level of speed that the industry hasn't experienced before but that, as more lenders discover its impact on sales and operations, more borrowers will come to expect," states Tim Nguyen, co-founder and CEO of BeSmartee. "Together, we're delivering the type of speed and service that Millennials have come to expect, which is key to securing new business from this coveted group of borrowers."

They completed the entire transaction electronically and transferred the eNote to Fannie Mae in minutes, rather than days.

DocMagic Achieves 42 Percent Growth in 2016

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, reported a 42 percent increase in revenue for 2016. The company credits its growth to the mortgage industry's demand for products that enable TRID compliance, eSignatures and eClosings. This is the second consecutive year that DocMagic's revenue has increased by roughly 40 percent.

"Lenders have been looking for ways to assure TRID compliance since 2015, and DocMagic's SmartCLOSE technology has become the industry's go-to solution," said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "Our user base has grown quickly. A lot of existing DocMagic clients saw the value of SmartCLOSE(TM) immediately. It has also been an entry point for many of our new lender clients."

SmartCLOSE(TM) enables lenders to interface with settlement providers and other relevant parties in a secure portal to share, edit, validate, audit, track and collaborate on documents, data and fees. In the past two years, DocMagic has completed numerous key integrations between lenders using SmartCLOSE(TM), their loan origination systems, and new settlement service provider systems. More integrations are being developed for 2017.

"The number of eSignatures completed has increased significantly since launching SmartCLOSE and Total eClose," said Iannitti, referencing activity for eSignSystems, a division of DocMagic that provides digital transaction management and electronic storage systems. "Lenders appreciate that they can stay compliant while gaining the speed and convenience of a digital process."

DocMagic rolled out its Total eClose(TM) solution for end-to-end eClosings in Q4 2016. Total eClose(TM) is a single-source eClosing suite that contains all the components needed to facilitate a completely paperless digital closing - from start to finish - without any hard stops or papering out.

DocMagic anticipates its growth will continue in 2017. In February of this year, the company completed a successful pilot that enabled one of the country's largest warehouse lenders to accept and fund eNotes, a transition that Iannitti expects to become a major industry trend in the next 12 to 18 months.

"It's very simple - at DocMagic, we're dedicated to addressing the industry's needs and demands with the very best solutions on the market," said Iannitti. "That's been the foundation of our business since we started, and we're pleased to say that it remains the formula for our growth today."

Dominic Iannitti Named to HousingWire’s 2016 Vanguard Award List for Major Industry Contributions

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that president and CEO, Dominic Iannitti, was honored by HousingWire with its 2016 Vanguard Award, which recognizes top mortgage executives for professional accomplishments and for their positive impact on the industry at-large.

The Vanguard Award list is limited to business unit executives within the housing and mortgage finance spheres, specifically those who stand out as innovators and trailblazers. The bar is set extremely high, so all Vanguard nominees represent the highest caliber and demonstrate substantial industry influence.

"The HW Vanguards continues to impress going into its second year; the winners are second-to-none and this list represents the finest cross section of mortgage talent available," said Jacob Gaffney, HousingWire editor-in-chief.

This was a momentous year for Iannitti. 2016 saw the launch of two industry-altering platforms at DocMagic, and Iannitti's role at the helm of those projects no doubt earned him a spot on the Vanguard list.

In the first half of the year, Iannitti led the charge in rolling out SmartCLOSE(TM), DocMagic's award-winning collaborative closing portal, a solution for TRID compliance that brings lenders, settlement service providers, and other relevant parties together in a secure environment to share, edit, validate, audit, track, and collaborate on documents, data, and fees. Since its launch, SmartCLOSE has gained rapid industry adoption, proving it to be a true game-changer in loan closing today.

Following the launch of SmartCLOSE(TM), Iannitti shifted his focus to DocMagic's single-source Total eClose(TM) solution, where he once again played an integral role in the project's conception and development for the marketplace. The Total eClose(TM) suite contains all of the components needed to facilitate a completely paperless digital closing - from start to finish.

By October of 2016, DocMagic completed the mortgage industry's first comprehensive eClosing for radius financial group, inc. The eClosing included both lender and closing/settlement agent documentation, eNotarization, eWarehousing and eNote acceptance. Unlike other so-called eClosing solutions (often merely hybrids which still require that certain documents be papered out), DocMagic's centralized Total eClose(TM) platform facilitates a truly paperless digital closing, an industry milestone that cannot be underestimated.

"I am very honored and humbled to have been selected by HousingWire's editorial board to appear on this list of esteemed mortgage executives," commented Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "This award is absolutely the result of our continual technology innovations and the unwavering commitment and enthusiasm of the exceptional team at DocMagic."

Neotrope Announces 17th Annual Non-Profit PR Grant Program to Help Worthy Causes Raise Visibility

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Neotrope, a 33-year-old brand marketing, PR, and content development firm, today announced the launch of its 2017 annual Non-Profit PR Grants program for U.S.-based 501(c)(3) charities. Launched in 2000, the PR Grant(TM) was designed to help raise awareness of selected charities to traditional media, to the public, as wells as to potential "halo" sponsors and donors.

Starting in 2013, the Grant was re-named after the company co-founder, the late Dr. J.L. Simmons, PhD, who passed away in 2003. Now the Neotrope PR Grant program is known as the "J.L. Simmons Non-Profit PR Grant."

As part of this in-kind grant program, Neotrope is providing news dissemination (through its Send2Press(R) Newswire service), and social media marketing for the selected applicant charities. Average value of each grant is $2,400 and will be offered to 10 U.S.-based non-profit organizations "doing good" on a local or national level for 2017.

"We've been helping worthy causes in one form or another for over 30 years," says Christopher Laird Simmons, member PRSA and ASCAP, and Neotrope CEO. "When my late father and I first launched the PR Grants in 2000 we felt it more useful to help out an organization with our services and expertise, over writing a tiny check that wouldn't pay for a week of electricity. We are very proud to have helped so many worthy causes raise awarenesss with this program."

There is no fee to apply, and applications are being accepted now through March 15, 2017 at https://prgrants.com/. Complete grant information can be found on the PR Grant website.

Total eClose Enables Industry’s First Completely Paperless Digital Closing – Start to Finish

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that it has successfully completed the mortgage industry's first comprehensive eClosing in Massachusetts, which included both lender and closing/settlement agent documentation, for radius financial group, inc.

Unlike other eClosing technologies, DocMagic's Total eClose(TM) solution is a single-source platform that contains all of the components needed to facilitate a completely paperless digital closing. Paramount to achieving the end-to-end eClosing was eNotarization services provided by strategic partner World Wide Notary (WWN). Once the eClosing process begins, documents requiring notary acknowledgment are automatically grouped by the system and electronically executed in the presence of the notary. The entire process takes only minutes and can happen in the comfort of the borrower's home.

"There are a few mortgage technology vendors that have been working to deliver an eClosing for some time now, but they have all fallen short in various ways," said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "Most of these solutions are merely hybrids that require certain documents to be executed on paper and often force lenders to maintain numerous complex integrations. With Total eClose, however, you work with a single vendor, on a single platform, and clients need only access DocMagic or the company's SmartCLOSE(TM) system to seamlessly and compliantly fulfill a paperless closing."

DocMagic's solution includes all of the critical components required to execute a fully digital eClosing transaction: its dynamic eDocument library that features eSignature, eNotary, and MERS eRegistration capabilities, and the system automatically stores all data and documents within a secure eVault designed to make investor eDelivery as simple as a few clicks. The single-source platform creates a highly-efficient, transparent and fully compliant eClosing process that guides users through every step, logs all activities and creates an irrefutable audit trail.

Also key to DocMagic enabling radius' first eClosing was the participation of Santander Bank, which served as the eWarehouse lender. "In addition to having integrated eNotary capability, one of the last remaining obstacles to adoption has been the reluctance of warehouse players to fund eNotes," said Tim Anderson, director of eServices at DocMagic. "We helped test and implement an eWarehouse process to eDeliver acceptance of the eNote to Santander Bank within seconds after the eClosing was completed. This is an industry-altering achievement."

DocMagic maintains detailed evidence of TRID compliance from the original loan application and Loan Estimate (LE) to delivery of the final Closing Disclosure (CD) with data, compliance determinations, calculations and documents all stored within DocMagic's eVault for proof of compliance.

Also notable is that in 2014, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) selected DocMagic as one of only 12 participants in its eClosing pilot project that was created to explore the benefits of digital mortgage technology for consumers. CFPB Director Richard Cordray determined the pilot to be a success and encouraged lenders to implement an eClosing strategy. Since that time, DocMagic has worked to perfect its end-to-end eClosing solution.

DocMagic's integration with World Wide Notary (WWN) is an exclusive partnership for eNotarizations. Founded in 2003 and based in Vernon, Texas, WWN is the developer of DigaSign, a proven solution that enables efficient, electronic notarizations.

DocMagic Announces ‘eQC’ Automated Due Diligence Solution for Investors and Correspondent Lenders

TORRANCE, Calif., May 12, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance, eSign and eDelivery solutions, announced the formal launch of its fully integrated "eQC" solution that automates due diligence for investors and correspondent lenders. eQC provides a complete closed loan MISMO 3.3/UCD XML data file, an automated compliance report, and a detailed audit trail with a document integrity certification that certifies that the XML data provided and documents match prior to investor delivery.

The automated compliance component of eQC includes a complete electronic record of compliance that arms investors and correspondent lenders with a detailed audit trail that eliminates concerns over future TRID audits and violations.

Moody's Investor Services, Inc. compiled a report that revealed more than 90 percent of loans reviewed by third party due diligence firms were not TRID compliant. Since that time, outstanding issues with TRID have been adversely affecting the secondary market's appetite to purchase loans. Concerns over potential assignee liability can result in loans remaining on warehouse lines for longer periods, extending lock periods, placing loans into suspension, and even potentially affecting the credit rating for mortgage bonds that are included in future RMBS pools.

"The CFPB requires all parties involved in the mortgage finance transaction to demonstrate evidence of TRID compliance," asserts Tim Anderson, director of eServices at DocMagic. "Our new eQC solution gives investors and correspondent lenders warranted electronic evidence of compliance with TRID and other critical regulations, and ensures that the audited data is exactly the same data that appears on the documents disclosed to the borrower. This is really the holy grail of automated due diligence compliance."

eQC also provides compliance data on federal regulations like high cost, QM, ATR, as well as applicable state regulations. It works by leveraging DocMagic's sophisticated audit engine, which determines if a condition is out of compliance. The audit engine immediately flags the causes of any issues for the user, directs the user to a link with information on where and how to fix it, and then verifies that the error was corrected. A full date and time stamped audit trail is created by following a consistent data validation process that runs over 10,000 compliance rules and edits designed to verify and validate legal compliance throughout the loan origination process.

This audit trail also provides full date and time stamp tracking of all borrower disclosures, a complete record of the compliance checks and conditions performed on the loan, and the complete MISMO 3.3/UCD XML data file. The XML data file can be used to electronically board and re-verify compliance at any time in the future through a tool set API that enables high speed access to this due diligence functionality.

"With over 8,000 originators running millions of closed loans through DocMagic's compliance portal each year, eQC leverages the long-standing industry acceptance of our compliance solutions to bring our correspondent lenders and investors true automated proof of compliance," said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic.

DocMagic Wins 2016 Innovation Award for its SmartCLOSE TRID Collaborative Closing Portal

TORRANCE, Calif., April 27, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance, eSign and eDelivery solutions, announced that PROGRESS in Lending presented the company with one of its annual Innovation Awards for the development and widely successful launch of its industry-leading SmartCLOSE(TM) collaborative closing portal for TRID compliance. DocMagic was one of only seven recipients to receive the honor out of numerous applicants.

The Innovation Awards were presented to the winners at a ceremony held by the mortgage technology focused PROGRESS in Lending Association at the MBA's National Technology Mortgage Banking conference held in Los Angeles, California. Judges scored applications using a weighted scale that focuses on achievements over a 12 month period for each innovation's overall industry significance, originality, positive change on the industry, intangible efficiencies gained, and hard return on investment.

PROGRESS in Lending cited the primary reason DocMagic won the award, was that early on the company developed a second-to-none, comprehensive solution that effectively addresses the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) introduction of the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rule, which is backed by numerous testimonials and extensive metrics. Notable is that DocMagic IS one of the few vendors that reps and warrant its documents, the APR, Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure calculations. In addition, DocMagic offers a one-of-a-kind insurance-backed TRID compliance guarantee of up to $5 million.

"Many technology vendors simply jumped on the TRID bandwagon, announcing very light solutions that lack core functionality and were unable to automate the new process from start to finish and ensure 100 percent compliance," said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "SmartCLOSE leverages our long-standing, sophisticated compliance and document management technology to bring lenders, settlement providers and other relevant parties together inside a secure collaborative portal to share, edit, validate, audit, track, and collaborate on documents, data, and fees."

DocMagic Announces the Formal Launch of its New Total eClosing Solution

TORRANCE, Calif., March 30, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance, eSign and eDelivery solutions, announced today the formal launch of its fully integrated eClosing solution that electronically transforms the entire mortgage process from initial eDisclosure to final eClosing through investor eDelivery.

DocMagic's total eClosing process seamlessly integrates its eDocument library, SMARTDoc(TM) eNote with eSignature, eNotary, MERS eRegistration, eDelivery and eVault services in a comprehensive end-to-end eClosing solution that delivers substantially faster closings, total data transparency, superior regulatory compliance and maximum process efficiency.

The total eClosing solution is also seamlessly integrated into DocMagic's SmartCLOSE(TM) collaborative closing portal, offering a secure, centralized online environment for lenders, settlement providers and other parties to share, validate, audit, track and collaborate on documents, data and fees backed with a 100% TRID compliance guarantee. The new process is easily accessible from within SaaS-based SmartCLOSE(TM) and on-premise SmartSAFE XL(TM) systems, including the eSigning, eDelivery and eVaulting of all documents.

DocMagic's eMortgage solutions have been vetted and approved by Fannie Mae and MERS to support all three eMortgage categories for eVault, eNote and eClosing. DocMagic's participation as a leading player in numerous eClosing pilots, including the CFPB's eClosing Pilot initiative last spring has led to the rapid advancement of eClosing adoption as a solution for regulatory compliance tracking, reducing data errors, data transparency, and bringing borrower knowledge and satisfaction to the loan process.

"The total eClosing solution is an out-of-the box, easy to implement, fully paperless, patented solution that combines the most advanced functionality and continuous compliance tracking with robust borrower and lender friendly user features," said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "Borrowers can communicate with their lenders and settlement agents and eSign documents while DocMagic runs continuous automated compliance audits throughout the entire loan process, guaranteeing compliance on factors affecting the salability of your loan, from TRID tolerance levels to compliance with anti-predatory lending and higher-priced mortgage loan laws, all while tracking every iteration of the data and speeding up the closing process."

"The DocMagic total eClosing solution is revolutionizing the traditional paper mortgage process and the timing of this couldn't be better," says Tim Anderson, director of eServices at DocMagic. "With the electronic data verification, delivery and record retention requirements of TRID, lenders have to demonstrate proof of compliance, control and accountability of the entire mortgage process. We have developed only platform in the industry that integrates and supports all key eMortgage functions within a single solution. The total eClosing solution provides a full electronic process in a one stop solution - which is truly revolutionary."

The successful launch of DocMagic's total eClosing solution as well as other recent innovations will be celebrated at the MBA Technology Conference & Expo at the company's 'Futurescape' event on Monday, April 4, 2016, at 6 p.m. at The Conga Room inside LA Live.

DocMagic Unveils New Premium Rep and Warrant Offering Guaranteed TRID Compliance up to $5 Million

TORRANCE, Calif., Feb. 16, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance, eSign and eDelivery solutions, today announced the development of an extensive set of new reps and warrants for its calculations, documents and data, which provides peace of mind to lenders when it comes to compliance with the TRID rule.

The greater risk of civil liability under the new TRID disclosure requirements means lenders and investors may face liability for incorrectly completing various sections on the TRID disclosures. With DocMagic's TRID-ready systems and now the Premium Compliance Guarantee, DocMagic has implemented a solution that mitigates lender risk of non-compliance. With the Premium Compliance Guarantee, the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure are guaranteed to be accurate and complete.

Additionally, the Premium Compliance Guarantee ensures timely electronic delivery of initial disclosures, compliance with federal and state high cost/HPML laws and accurate document selection logic resulting in compliant loan packages. The Guarantee also ensures that all other compliance and data validation audits will trigger at the appropriate times during the loan process, providing critical warning messages to help lenders stay in compliance with applicable laws.

The offering is backed by a $5 million dollar guarantee (up to $50,000 per loan) and DocMagic customers will enjoy a 36-month claim filing period. Beginning February 15, 2016, all new DocMagic customers will automatically receive the new premium rep and warrant offering. Existing DocMagic customers will be given the opportunity to protect their future loan files for an additional nominal fee.

"Now more than ever, our clients need assurance that they are operating in full compliance at all times," said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic, Inc. "That is why we invested in developing and integrating the Premium Compliance Guarantee into DocMagic's suite of products, including the TRID-based SmartCLOSE(TM) collaborative closing portal, for every user on every transaction."

Rich Horn, the former CFPB attorney who led the TRID rule making stated, "Long before the initial Aug. 1 TRID effective date, DocMagic's industry-leading compliance, legal and technology teams proved that their systems were fully TRID compliant. This enabled DocMagic to provide an insurance-backed guarantee on their products and services, including TRID disclosures prepared using SmartCLOSE(TM), which speaks volumes about the confidence they have in their solutions."

"With the integration of the Premium Compliance Guarantee into DocMagic's suite of services, significant lender risk is virtually eliminated," asserted Melanie Feliciano, chief legal officer at DocMagic. "DocMagic has developed the most advanced and effective compliance solution in the industry - and we've backed it with a solid guarantee we are proud to offer our clients."
