Loan Estimate & Closing Disclosure Delivery

Q: Does staff still need to review disclosures before they go out?

Yes, the compliance officer still reviews each disclosure, but the automation runs the tolerance check first so review is faster and more focused.

Q: Will this work with the loan origination and e-signature tools we already use?

The automation is built around the spreadsheet, document, and e-signature tools already in use, so existing files and workflows carry over.

Q: What happens if the title company sends figures late?

The automation flags the delay and holds the Closing Disclosure draft until final figures arrive, protecting the required delivery window.

Q: Is this suitable for a small mortgage brokerage or only larger lenders?

It is designed for brokerages of any size that need consistent, on-time disclosure delivery without adding headcount.

About This Automation

Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure delivery involves manual fee calculations, document drafting, and compliance checks spread across several staff members and tools. Deadlines are strict and tolerance errors carry regulatory risk, so the manual version leaves little room for delay or mistake.

The automated version calculates fees and APR, drafts both disclosures, runs tolerance checks, and routes each document for signature and delivery on its own. This shortens turnaround time and reduces the chance of a missed regulatory deadline.

Key features:

Calculates APR, finance charges, and cash-to-close automatically from loan terms and fee quotes

Drafts the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure from verified figures without manual formatting

Runs tolerance and disclosure compliance checks before any document reaches the borrower

Requests final settlement figures from the title company without manual follow up emails

Tracks Intent to Proceed and delivery status directly on the loan file

Confirms borrower receipt of the Closing Disclosure ahead of the required deadline
