The use of technology in the mortgage business is overwhelming, without the level of technology today brokerages could not exist. The writer is a senior mortgage broker who specializes in bad credit mortgage applications.
These recent marketplace changes are a result of improvements in technology in practically all aspects of loan origination and processing affecting all lenders, from the largest to the smallest. The impact of technology on the mortgage industry cannot be overstated-an entire chapter and even a book can be devoted to this topic alone.
Because the mortgage-lending industry relies so heavily on data management and cost efficiencies, significant improvements in technology have far-reaching effects and transform the way in which the industry operates.
Computer software programs designed for mortgage origination enable processors to accomplish work faster and manage more loans efficiently. These software programs greatly increase the capacity of a single processor. They allow processors to handle more functions, perform many calculations, accommodate more loan programs, save computer keystrokes, produce reports, and operate more reliably than when vendors first introduced them. With the click of one button, a processor (or even a loan officer at origination) now can simultaneously obtain a credit report, order an appraisal, produce disclosure documentation, and submit key information for financial management and compliance reporting.
