From how they utilize technology to the psychological effects of limited human interaction, mortgage industry professionals and real estate agents helped researchers understand how a widespread health crisis is influencing the industry.

The mortgage landscape is changing. As eMortgages become the norm, here’s how impacts will be felt from closings all the way through to the mortgage-backed securities sector.

“Making the process digital is the ultimate way to serve our customers at the highest levels of transparency, efficiency and ease of experience,” said Carmen Sherman, COO of Member First Mortgage.

Stewart Title announced Monday the first electronically closed FHA loan in partnership with Mountain America Credit Union. The companies joined to offer customers an eco-friendly and enhanced closing experience with eClosings.
