FirstClose ONE also includes a rich and smooth user interface, seamless user experience, one-screen navigation, live production reports, and custom workflow management tools.

“We’ve been working on this initiative for the past year and it’s great to finally see it all come together,” said Tedd Smith, chief executive officer and co-founder of FirstClose. “Our product team has done a tremendous job of listening to our lenders and creating a platform that’s truly designed for their needs. We are confident with this great technology that lenders can be more efficient and productive with FirstClose ONE.”
