Brian D. Pannell, DocMagic’s Chief eServices Executive, was named one of HousingWire’s 2020 Tech Trendsetters.

“This year has been one of the most challenging in my career, given the influx of requests to implement many of our solutions throughout the pandemic and refi boom that is setting volume records,” Pannell said. “But seeing all the hard work pay off for DocMagic’s clients and partners has been very gratifying, and receiving the Tech Trendsetters award at the end of this long year makes it all worthwhile.”

The award, now in its second year, was given to 50 of the housing industry’s most innovative technology leaders, across sectors such as residential mortgage lending, servicing, investing, construction, and real estate.

“Our Tech Trendsetters award recognizes a group of leaders who were critical to the outstanding performance of housing and real estate during this pandemic, finding innovative solutions when everything changed on a dime,” said HousingWire Editor in Chief Sarah Wheeler. “We’re very proud to celebrate their achievements and honor the impact they’ve had at such a crucial time.”

Throughout 2020, Pannell has racked up several key accomplishments, including:

• Helping clients implement multiple DocMagic solutions, including Total eClose, a 100% paperless eClosing platform that leverages our dynamic document generation capabilities, and DocMagic’s eVault and eNote process—not just for lenders but also for other members of the supply chain.
• Working on Secured Party and Master Servicer/Subservicer for the support of MERS, the Federal Home Loan Banks, Ginnie Mae, and the gap in servicing support for servicers that don’t have their own eVaults.
• Helping launch AutoPrep, a new technology that can convert documents from any lender into compliant e-enabled documents that can be used with Total eClose.
• Serving as an invaluable resource to the mortgage industry as a subject matter expert on end-to-end eMortgage automation, eSigning, eNotarization, eNotes, eVaults, eClosing, eWarehouse lending, and more.

Pannell has helped countless lending entities go “e” this year, enabling them to serve their customers during the pandemic. As an industry thought leader, he plays a key role in where digital mortgages are headed.

“In its second year, the 2020 Tech Trendsetters once again surpassed all expectations as the housing industry rose up to meet unprecedented challenges,” HousingWire Magazine Editor Kelsey Ramírez said. “This year’s Tech Trendsetters represent shapers whose innovative solutions continue to inspire the industry.”

• DocMagic's Brian Pannell named winner of Thought Leader Award (6/18/2020)

DocMagic CEO and President Dominic Iannitti was named a Lending Luminary award winner by the PROGRESS in Lending Association. The honor, now in its 2^nd annual year, was awarded to just 25 people across the mortgage industry, including bankers, lenders, servicers, technology executives, consultants, and more.

“Right now the market is filled with uncertainty, but these true Lending Luminaries are better handling and navigating the constantly fluctuating market conditions,” PROGRESS in Lending stated in announcing the award. “These executives deserve to be recognized for their industry vision and leadership.”

Iannitti was selected thanks to several key accomplishments over the last year that led DocMagic to success. One of the main accomplishments was the April launch of AutoPrep, a new technology that leverages AI, OCR, and machine learning technologies to fully e-enable a document for paperless eClosings. This means any loan document from virtually any provider can be used with DocMagic’s comprehensive, single-source Total eClose platform.

AutoPrep was a significant R&D investment and technology strategy to help more lenders perform eClosings.

”I’m a firm believer that these innovations work to establish much-needed interoperability between disparate systems and critical entities within the digital mortgage ecosystem,” Iannitti told PROGRESS in Lending. “Our goal is for our industry-leading eClosing platform to be completely open, handling documents from all vendors and sources without any manual effort or additional labor required.”

Iannitti was also recognized for helping DocMagic clients adapt to the pandemic environment, including social distancing measures and work-from-home (WFH) orders. Numerous lenders used Total eClose to execute mortgage closings electronically. Additionally, as more states passed emergency remote online notarization (RON) laws, Iannitti ensured that DocMagic was ready to quickly and effectively respond to clients’ urgent need for RON within the Total eClose platform.

Lori Johnson, DocMagic’s Director of Client Services, has been named as a 2020 HousingWire Insider thanks to her recent eClosing implementation successes.

The honor is bestowed upon 50 people from across the housing industry, including mortgage lending, Fintech, and real estate. HousingWire’s editorial board selected the honorees based on their accomplishments over the last 12 months.

“This award is well-deserved and we’re elated HousingWire selected Lori as a winner,” said Dominic Iannitti, DocMagic’s President and CEO. “She is a roll-your-sleeves up, get-it-done type of technology executive who places the company and customer first every single time with every single thing she does."

Johnson successfully onboarded numerous new lender clients during the pandemic, despite the sudden influx of lenders in need of eClosing platforms and remote online notarization (RON) technology. Over the last year—and during 2020 in particular—Johnson and her team have taken multiple marquee mortgage bankers and mega-lenders live.

RON: The last mile in the eClosing marathon

She managed that while overcoming the added challenge of having to work remotely. Johnson worked feverishly to build a remote model to support distance-based implementations involving multiple teams and parties, and also created a remote training program to quickly train new DocMagic implementation specialists.

According to HousingWire, the 50 honorees are their companies’ “go-to” team members, the ones companies turn to with their most important and challenging projects.

“This year’s Insiders represent the unsung heroes of their companies; the team that, behind the scenes, kept everything on track during unprecedented times,” HousingWire Magazine Editor Kelsey Ramírez said. “This year, the need for the services of these 50 winners shown greater than ever, and they rose to the challenge.”

Brian D. Pannell, DocMagic’s Chief eServices Executive, has been named one of the inaugural winners of the Thought Leader Award by the PROGRESS in Lending Association. Only 30 people across the entire mortgage industry received this honor.

One reason Pannell received the honor was due to his forward thinking on eClosings. He has long been a proponent of the digital solutions in the mortgage industry.

Pannell points out that many key barriers to eClosings appear to be coming down. In the past the most restrictive barrier to adoption has been the limited amount of investors and financial support of the eMortgage as a tradeable commodity, but Ginnie Mae and FHL Banks have announced that they’re opening up the market to lenders who didn’t have anyone to sell their eNotes to and will fund them in the secondary market.

Additionally, Pannell notes, there has been groundbreaking movement at the federal and state levels to accept eNotarizations, which is a game changer when it comes to being able to complete the entire eClosing package electronically.
