Guaranteed Rate and Notarize Launch FlashClose

Oct 04, 2019

Guaranteed Rate Inc. has teamed with Notarize to launch FlashClose, a new homebuying platform.

According to the companies, FlashClose enables loan officers, real estate professionals and title agents to connect online with buyers and sellers to verify identity, review closing documents and answer questions. Eligible borrowers can use the platform to electronically review, sign and notarize closing documents from any Internet-connected device.

“Our vision at Guaranteed Rate is to deliver a best-in-class homebuying experience for every generation,” said Guaranteed Rate Chief Operating Officer Nikolaos Athanasiou. “We are thrilled to announce this integration with Notarize for FlashClose, which puts even more power in the hands of homebuyers—wherever and however they want to close.”

Adam Pase, co-founder and chief strategy officer of Notarize, said: “Our vision is to empower anyone to walk into a home they love, and buy it on their terms—even same day. Guaranteed Rate shares our passion for excellence and boasts a reputation as one of the most tech-forward lenders in the country. We’re excited to partner with Guaranteed Rate to be first to market with a fully digital real estate experience.”
