Gershman Mortgage has launched an innovative new process for closing loans, hybrid loan closings- thus reducing time at the closing table. This new hybrid platform allows borrowers to review and sign documents digitally from the comfort of home. Now, you can review and sign documents from your computer, smartphone, or any device that has an internet browser. Taking advantage of today’s available technology enhances Gershman’s reputation for on-time closings utilizing new tools to expedite the process and get you into your home faster and with greater convenience.
While some lenders remain paper-based, Gershman has invested in innovative technology to keep up to date with the ever-changing, fast-paced environment. In addition, Gershman Mortgage has responded to the Coronavirus pandemic with respect to social distancing to make the loan process safer and easier for their borrowers. With the new hybrid platform up and running, most documents can be reviewed and signed prior to your final loan closing. The closing can be handled in less than 10 minutes with a couple of final signatures.
Unlike traditional mortgage closings, the hybrid process provides the borrower the convenience to sign most documents digitally. Having that extra time to review paperwork from home allows borrowers to read through and fully understand their documents at their own pace and convenience. The borrower has ample time to gather questions and avoid feeling rushed and pressured at closing. You can feel confident signing documents through our secure, encrypted system. A select few documents are signed in ink at the final closing. This rapid new process has brought closing times down drastically. While not eliminating face-to-face meetings completely, the hybrid process streamlines closings and expedites the process.
