ClosingCorp has announced that its SmartFees solution is now integrated with the Blue Sage Digital Lending Platform. ClosingCorp’s SmartFees delivers actual, real-time rates and fees from more than 20,000 individual service providers, including title, settlement and appraisal companies, to populate the appropriate mortgage disclosures. With this integration, lenders are able to manage rates and fees from SmartFees without ever leaving the Blue Sage Lending Platform.

“In today’s highly competitive mortgage market, more lenders are turning to automation to accelerate the origination process,” said Bob Jennings, Chief Executive Officer of ClosingCorp. “Lenders that choose to leverage our fee automation solution within Blue Sage will be able to provide customers with a faster, more fluid experience—giving them a competitive advantage.”

Joe Langner, Chief Executive Officer of Blue Sage, said, “At Blue Sage, our mission is to empower lenders with modern, best-in-class technology to streamline the mortgage process, regardless of their preferred channel of business. Our automated, ‘lights out’ integration with ClosingCorp’s SmartFees reinforces this mission by giving lenders direct access to the most accurate closing cost data available while eliminating the time-consuming tasks of manual data entry and traditional ‘stare and compare’ methods of verifying fees for accuracy.”
