MortgageOrb: A Nationwide RON Law Would Help Reduce Confusion
Mortgage lenders would be wise to keep a close eye on the passage of the SECURE Notarization Act of 2021, which would in essence establish a national standard for the use of Remote Online Notarization (RON).
The bill – a previous version of which failed to pass last year – was recently reintroduced in the U.S. Senate. Its approval is considered urgent by industry groups including the National Association of Realtors, the American Land Title Association and the Mortgage Bankers Association, as the use of RON for mortgage closings and other mortgage-related documentation has become increasingly prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The state of e-closings, circa now
The 100 percent, end-to-end digital mortgage experience is something Phil Shoemaker, Home Point Financial’s president of originations, has been advocating for since the early 2000s. With the company processing amounts of data and documents that Shoemaker calls “insane”, further streamlining the loan process by leaning further into e-closings was essential to making the process faster and easier for Home Point, its partners and its clients.
