Key Features
Borrower portal
Borrowers today like to initiate the loan application process and check the status of their loan 24×7 – and often from their phones. You need to deliver quality service. Mortgage Builder’s borrower portal, known as Architect® Connect, allows borrowers to directly interact with the system through their computers and mobile devices. It is a convenience for consumers and saves lenders time and money. With Mortgage Builder, you can offer your customers more services including prequalification and interactive Form 1003 loan applications, combined with lead capture, reporting and analytics you need. Borrowers can quickly check the status of their loan online, avoiding constant time-consuming phone calls that have long been a costly fact of life for many lenders. With Mortgage Builder you can add your branding to the portal, and because it is web-based it can be accessed from any laptop, tablet or phone.
Originations portal
Mortgage Builder’s originations portal, known as Surveyance®, provides a privately branded, secure website for both retail and wholesale production. It is easy to learn and use because it provides a directed workflow, and it can be used anywhere, anytime, and on any device. The portal also has error-checking safeguards. Originators can create applications and have real-time access to all information on activity in their pipeline. With the portal you can streamline customer service and maximize production by decreasing the number of phone inquiries regarding loan status from the outside. From a look and feel that simulates the 1003 to the ability to save prequalification information until you are ready to submit the loan application, the entire team will appreciate how easy these solutions are to use the first time they use them.
