A talk about eClosings with Brian Boike,
First Vice President, Lending Support
Flagstar Bank
Over the last two years The Niche Report has highlighted many companies in the industry to help you better serve your clients and enhance the success of your business. Flagstar Bank is one of the nation’s largest wholesale mortgage lenders and an established leader in innovative mortgage technology, including its award-winning eClosings. Brian Boike, first vice president, Lending Support at Flagstar Bank, talks about eClosings and how originators can leverage this important technology.
What is the current status of eClosings and its acceptance among your brokers and correspondents?
The adoption is moving along at a steady pace and increasing monthly, although we feel it could and should be spreading even more quickly. We’re getting good feedback from customers and feeling good about how it’s taken off. The current marketplace and downturn of the industry as a whole have somewhat slowed the adoption of new technologies such as eClosings. Currently, people are not as focused on it — they’re thinking about regulation change and where the next loan is coming from — but eClosings will be the number one initiative when the market normalizes.
