ACES Quality Management Makes Key Loan Audit Platform Upgrades to Elevate User Experience for Lending Institutions

DENVER, Colo. -- ACES Quality Management(TM) (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, announced the release of several key features and enhancements to its ACES Quality Management & Control Software(TM). The updates are designed to improve reporting through the system and create a highly customizable, easy-to-use experience.

Commonly reported data is now readily available for reporting directly in the ACES user interface (UI) through a library of standard reports. With a simpler, yet flexible and intuitive user experience and more options to customize their ACES environments, users can quickly and easily create their own reports or modify default reports to drill down on specific data points, as well as apply filters, sort columns and set order preferences.

"With higher loan volumes comes a higher risk of compromises to loan quality, increasing the need to utilize technology that mitigates risk while boosting productivity and quality," ACES CEO Trevor Gauthier said. "The newest enhancements to ACES' user interface and reporting functionality are part of our ongoing strategic initiative to improve direct access to live data. Whether lenders need to quickly distribute reports or better understand their productivity, ACES improves their efficiency while providing better control over quality and costs."

In addition, ACES has updated the look and feel of its UI to align the aesthetic elements of the ACES Quality Management & Control Software with the company's recent rebrand while maintaining the same core functionality and data analysis capabilities familiar to ACES users. The new and improved layout features independently scrolling sections, drag-and-drop items, improved menu navigation and simplification of users' ability to brand their environments. Upgrades to the UI and reporting were driven by client research and feedback from ACES users.

"Soliciting user feedback is an invaluable step in our process of continuously adapting our system to fit lenders' ever-changing needs," Gauthier said. "We strive to continue delivering the most flexible technology on the market for improving audit efficiency, boosting team productivity and helping lenders make better-informed decisions across lines of business, and in service of that goal, ACES invested in a team whose sole purpose is to continuously modernize our technology and improve the user experience."

Top of Mind Makes Educational Content from Its Surefire Summit Available to Mortgage Marketers Industry-Wide

ATLANTA, Ga. -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, today announced the widespread availability of educational content from its 2020 Surefire Summit user conference. Designed to teach mortgage marketers how to earn clients for life, the conference originally aired as a users-only virtual event.

According to CEO Bill Hayes, Top of Mind's decision to make its conference content widely available was spurred by the company's interest in helping mortgage lenders maintain momentum in the face of forecasts that call for a diminished refinance market in 2021.

"To minimize the need to wrestle competitors for leads in 2021, lenders will need to pivot from a churn-and-burn mentality to nurturing the huge wave of refi customers they acquired this year," said Hayes. In October, the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) published its prediction that refis will drop by 46% in 2021, 39% in 2022 and 9% in 2023.

Available at no cost, the 2020 Surefire Summit includes sessions with industry leaders like Barry Habib. Additionally, viewers will also receive a content giveaway that includes a flyer bundle educating borrowers on the upcoming loan limit increase.

Now in its 9th year, the annual event brings together the Top of Mind team, top mortgage industry speakers, technology partners and SurefireCRM customers to help lenders derive the greatest value from their mortgage marketing programs. Surefire Summit 2020 sessions can be accessed here: https://www.topofmind.com/surefire-summit-2020-insider/.

LBA Ware Unveils Expanded Functionality to CompenSafe’s ‘Verify Pay’ Feature

MACON, Ga. -- LBA Ware(TM), a leading provider of incentive compensation management (ICM) and business intelligence (BI) software solutions for the mortgage industry, announced it has updated CompenSafe's(TM) Verify Pay feature, which enables loan originators (LOs) and other commissioned or bonus-based employees to review and verify their incentive compensation before paychecks are cut, greatly reducing the hassle, time and cost of remediating incentive compensation disputes.

"Verify Pay strengthens trust by engaging employees in a transparent compensation process," said LBA Ware Founder and CEO Lori Brewer. "It greatly reduces costly and time-consuming processes associated with compensation errors, such as cutting manual checks, and it creates a detailed audit trail, which is especially important in states like California where compensation disputes can snowball into a PR nightmare."

Verify Pay engages employees in the compensation process by giving them the opportunity to review, ask questions, comment on, and verify their incentive compensation before paychecks are distributed. Employees who wish to submit a commission dispute may do so in a matter of seconds, and their dispute - along with a link to the disputed loan file - is automatically forwarded to the payroll administrator for rapid review. The entire dispute/resolution thread is logged, providing lenders with a detailed, time-stamped audit trail.

"Mortgage lenders value CompenSafe because it is much more than a compensation calculation engine - it's a comprehensive incentive compensation management tool," added Brewer. "We constantly listen to clients and respond with creative features that address the practical challenges associated with administering commissions."

About LBA Ware:

LBA Ware(TM) is a leading provider of cloud-based software for mortgage lenders.

HousingWire Honors DocMagic’s Brian D. Pannell with 2020 Tech Trendsetters Award

20-1207-Brian-D-Pannell-696x522.jpg -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance, and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that its chief eServices executive, Brian D. Pannell, has received HousingWire's 2020 Tech Trendsetters award. Now in its second year, the prestigious award recognizes the most impactful and innovative technology leaders serving the housing economy.

HousingWire's editorial board selected a total of 50 winners based on their professional success over the last 12 months, as well as their overall career accomplishments for both their companies and the industry sector they represent. Winners came from various sectors of tech within the housing economy, including residential mortgage lending, servicing, investing, construction, and real estate.

"Our Tech Trendsetters award recognizes a group of leaders who were critical to the outstanding performance of housing and real estate during this pandemic, finding innovative solutions when everything changed on a dime," said HousingWire Editor in Chief Sarah Wheeler. "We're very proud to celebrate their achievements and honor the impact they've had at such a crucial time."

Brian D. Pannell's solution-oriented approach has helped countless lending entities go "e," positioning them for long-term success and positively impacting their ability to serve their customers during the pandemic.

Brian has been key in driving facilitation, implementation, and industry adoption of multiple DocMagic solutions. One of those solutions is Total eClose(TM), DocMagic's award-winning, single-source eClosing platform that removes all paper from the closing process while leveraging the precision-based accuracy of the company's intelligent, dynamic document generation capabilities.

In addition, Brian has been hands-on in implementing DocMagic's eVault and eNote processes-not just for lenders but also for other members of the supply chain. For example, he worked on Secured Party and Master Servicer/Subservicer for the support of MERS, the Federal Home Loan Banks, Ginnie Mae, and the gap in servicing support that is seen for servicers that don't have their own eVaults.

"I am truly honored to have been named to HW's 2020 class of Tech Trendsetters," Pannell said. "This year has been one of the most challenging in my career given the influx of requests to implement many of our solutions throughout the pandemic and refi boom that is setting volume records. But seeing all the hard work pay off for DocMagic's clients and partners has been very gratifying, and receiving the Tech Trendsetters award at the end of this long year makes it all worthwhile."

In 2020, Brian also helped implement AutoPrep, a new technology that enables DocMagic's Total eClose platform to accept documents from any source by "e-enabling" them for paperless eClosings.

Brian has and continues to serve as an invaluable resource to the mortgage industry as a subject matter expert on end-to-end eMortgage automation, eSigning, eNotarization, eNotes, eVaults, eClosing, eWarehouse lending, and more. He has helped countless lenders, technology service providers, GSEs, and investors understand the immense value of going "e." He's played a key part in where digital mortgages are headed and serves as both a leader and educator to evangelize the industry-wide benefits for the many organizations he works with.

"In its second year, the 2020 Tech Trendsetters once again surpassed all expectations as the housing industry rose up to meet unprecedented challenges," HousingWire Magazine Editor Kelsey Ramírez said. "This year's Tech Trendsetters represent shapers whose innovative solutions continue to inspire the industry."

MCTlive! Pool Optimizer Technology Sets New Bar for Best Execution Loan Sales

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT®), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, debuted upgraded MCTlive! Pool Optimizer functionality at its MCT Exchange client conference last month. The technology enables secondary marketing managers to use actual cash window execution for optimization on each individual loan rather than using a dealer survey for spec pay-ups.

"Depending on loan sale size, the tool looks at millions of iterations of execution options while doing the optimization process on a specified set of loans, creating a factorial to compute the optimal pooling solution," said MCT COO, Phil Rasori. "When you have a large number of high balance loans and you're trying to fit them into the 10% de minimus rule, this will make the ideal allocations, whether a specific product or in a pool with high balance."

The MCTlive! Pool Optimizer involves both the cash window commitment process as well as MBS optimization, rather than solely MBS pooling or delivery, allowing for full pricing granularity specific to all available executions. The cloud-based, scalable technology infrastructure of MCTlive! supports analysis of the millions of possible combinations at unprecedented speed. Calculations are made on real-time spec pool pay-ups with MCT's API connectivity and sets a new standard when defining optimal pool allocations.

"The system reviews the open pipeline and accounts for all co-issue commitments across the three agencies, 50 aggregators and 10 co-issue buyers. With 'cross commitment optimization' you can check, for instance, Fannie direct against co-issue Servicing Marketplace, placing each loan in the best place," explained Andrew Rhodes, Director of Trading at MCT. "This upgraded functionality is a game-changer for the majority of lenders looking to do pool optimization across both cash window and MBS executions."

The new Pool Optimizer received a warm welcome at MCT Exchange, where nearly three hundred lenders and partners reacted to its virtual debut with eager anticipation. As one of the many tools in MCT's cloud-based capital markets software platform, MCTlive!, Pool Optimizer is now available to clients. Those interested in learning more about the MCTlive! Pool Optimizer features, benefits, or how to begin using the module are encouraged to contact MCT for more information: https://mct-trading.com/solutions/.

About MCT:

Founded in 2001, Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT) has grown from a boutique mortgage pipeline hedging firm into the industry's leading provider of fully integrated capital markets services and technology. MCT offers an array of best-in-class services and software covering mortgage pipeline hedging, best execution loan sales, outsourced lock desk solutions, MSR portfolio valuations, business intelligence analytics, mark to market services, and an award-winning comprehensive capital markets software platform called MCTlive!

SimpleNexus and Unify Integrate to Help Mortgage Lenders Streamline the Loan Process, Reduce Application Abandonment

LEHI, Utah -- SimpleNexus, developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers, real estate agents and settlement agents, today announced a two-way integration with Unify's Business Growth Platform(TM) that streamlines the loan application process to improve efficiency and help mortgage lenders reduce application abandonment.

Through the integration, loan applicant information entered into SimpleNexus automatically creates new contact records in Unify, where mortgage professionals can manage customer relationships and deploy automated marketing campaigns. When SimpleNexus detects a loan application abandonment - which occurs when borrowers start, but do not finish their loan applications - Unify is alerted to this abandonment. Unify can then send automated outreach campaigns, which include pre-written emails, call scheduling and appointment setting. This enables loan originators to convert more "drop-offs" into completed loan applications.

The integration also pushes data from Unify to SimpleNexus. With a simple push of a button, Unify contact record information is sent to SimpleNexus to populate a contact's application record. This eliminates the need for mortgage originators to manually enter information in 32 distinct data fields.

"U.S. mortgage volume is on pace to exceed $4 trillion in 2020 for the first time in history. This unprecedented volume is challenging loan originators to find new ways to be more efficient and productive," said SimpleNexus Founder and CEO Matt Hansen. "By leveraging the combined power of SimpleNexus and Unify, lenders can reduce originators' workloads and keep more business in the pipeline."

"We are pleased to offer clients a tight-knit integration between Unify and SimpleNexus," said Scott Lidberg, President of Unify. "Loan originators are busy, especially in these market conditions, and the automation and efficiencies this integration provides will allow them to manage their days more effectively and grow their businesses."

To see the integration in action, visit https://simplenexus.com/sn/partners/unify/.

About SimpleNexus, LLC:

SimpleNexus is the digital mortgage platform that enables lenders to originate and process loans from anywhere. The company's best-in-class, easy-to-use app connects loan officers to their borrowers, real estate agents and settlement service providers to easily communicate and exchange data in a single location throughout the entire loan life cycle. Loan officers can manage their loan pipelines, order credit, run pricing, send pre-approvals and sign disclosures - all on the go.

About Unify:

Unify is an innovative business growth platform designed specifically for the mortgage industry. Unify helps mortgage banks, community banks, mortgage brokers, credit unions and loan originators more effectively connect with their clients, manage relationships and grow their businesses.

Dana Dillard to Join Housing Finance Strategies

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Housing Finance Strategies President Faith Schwartz today announced that industry leader and award-winning mortgage executive Dana Dillard will join her firm as leader of its diversity and inclusion practice and a principal in its expanding advisory services practice.

Dillard, a twenty-five-year mortgage veteran, most recently served as executive vice president at Mr. Cooper, where she initiated the firm's diversity and inclusion practice and played an integral role in representing the firm by advocating for the American dream of homeownership with industry and government officials.

"This looks to be an impactful move for Housing Finance Strategies," said Marcia Davies, chief operating officer of the Washington, DC-based Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA). "Given Dana's prominent role in launching the CARES Act Borrower Awareness Campaign and her tireless championing of diversity and inclusion at Mr. Cooper - for which she won the MBA's D&I Award for a large company - she is at the intersection of some of the most prominent issues we are tackling in 2021."

Named by HousingWire as a 2020 Woman of Influence, Dillard managed the development of Mr. Cooper's diversity and inclusion program, where she led by example and fostered an inclusive environment. Under Dillard's leadership, the program grew to include more than 15 employee resource groups with more than 3,500 active members.

Schwartz went on to say, "Dana will be a tremendous addition to our team! We are so excited at the prospect of expanding our business to meet the growing demand for our advisory services as well as our planned launch of D&I. Dana is a natural fit and true complement to our practice."

Housing Finance Strategies was established by Faith Schwartz in 2016 as a professional services and advisory firm specializing in mortgage modernization, housing policy and legislative and regulatory affairs. Schwartz serves on a number of bank and fintech boards and has a lengthy record of hosting and moderating housing industry events. Since 2019, Schwartz has partnered in creating and delivering two national housing policy conferences.

Comparison Shopping with Pureloan.com Leads to $15,335 Average Interest Savings

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Pureloan.com confidently demonstrates that, for the average home purchaser, its mortgage search engine provides on average $15,335 of lifetime savings in reduced interest payments by comparing loans.

These savings are achieved through the proven and age-old concept of comparison shopping, only recently made possible using Pureloan's proprietary backend. Pureloan analyzes lender rate sheets and their related adjustments for complicated mortgage and refinance products.

Pureloan first performed a nationwide study, then used the average home value in the United States of $300,000, a loan-to-value of 80% or 20% down payment, and a 30-year fixed conventional loan type. In this typical case, Pureloan can achieve savings of 0.375% interest rate which is equivalent to $15,335 in lifetime cash savings or $43/month lower mortgage payments over 30 years of payments.

Further, Pureloan showcases its savings capabilities through two specific scenarios. First we consider an expensive apartment in an urban setting on the West Coast: a 30-year mortgage in San Francisco, California, with a $1.5 million home purchase price and a 25% or $375,000 down payment. Compared with our benchmark loan, which offers an interest rate of 3.750% and a monthly payment of $5,210, Pureloan's best result offers an interest rate as low as 2.625% and a monthly payment of $4,519, which is equivalent to life savings of $246,616 or $701/month lower mortgage payments over 30 years of payments.

Next we illustrate our technology across different cities and different loan types, such as a 15-year home loan in Chicago, Illinois, with a $500,000 a home value and a $125,000 down payment. Compared with our benchmark loan, which offers an interest rate of 2.625% and a monthly payment of $2,523, Pureloan's best result offers an interest rate of 1.990% and monthly payment of $2,411, which is equivalent to life savings of $13,142.

Research from the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau states that "visiting just three lenders could save you thousands of dollars." Pureloan.com confirms this important financial conclusion through its nationwide study and examples of various loan types and durations in San Francisco and Chicago. We welcome all users to search for personalized mortgage products and begin saving today.
