Closing Status

This area will show you the current status of the closing:


  • Draft - The closing package is not active and has not been sent to Blend.
  • Sent - The closing package has been provided to Blend and has not been released for signature.
  • Sent Day Of - The closing package has been provided to Blend and has been released for signature.
  • Completed - All documents have been completed.


⚠️ All edits must be made to a loan while it is in Draft. Any edits made while the loan is in an alternate status may not be properly translated to Blend.


Closing Date

Select the date that the loan will be closing.


Closing Type

Select what the closing type will be (RON, Hybrid, or Traditional) and specify whether the closing package 


Note Signing Type

Select whether the closing package will contain an eNote (electronically signed) or Paper (signed on closing day with the Wet-Signed documents).


Closing Package Type

Select Pre-Closing document package (not viewable by borrowers) or a Closing Package (that will be signed on closing day) to specify whether the package contains preliminary or final closing documents.


Contacts

Use this section to enter the Settlement Agent and Closer information. Ensure that you have entered 60-characters or less into the Contact Name section as well as a proper email address (no extra spaces entered into the textbox) to ensure that there are no errors sending the package. The Settlement Agent and Closer information will be pre-filled if already entered into the File Contacts.


⚠️ Note - A Settlement Agent must be entered here in order for the closing package to be sent to Blend. Sending a package to Blend without a Settlement Agent will result in an error.


Closing Schedule

Select the dates that you would like the eSign portion of a Hybrid (and RON, if applicable) to be accessible by the borrower(s). This time window will allow the eSign documents to be signed on any day, expiring after the final selected day.


Manage Documents

Use this section to see what documents are contained within your closing package.



To Add Special Instructions to a RON closing: 


RON must be selected as the "Closing Type" before the screen to add this information appears. You can use this section to communicate any closing-specific instructions to the notary that is conducting the signing. The borrower(s) will not see the information entered into this section.

 



 

Sending the Closing Documents to Blend


Once everything has been checked for accuracy, click Send in the lower-right corner of the eClosing Management window. This will initiate the process of sending over the closing documents to Blend and sending notifications to applicable closing parties. Depending on how many documents there are in the package, it may take some time. A progress window will appear.

And that’s it! The Settlement Agent will log into Blend’s Settlement Agent Workspace and complete the tasks on the loan. And, if the closing package was delivered to the borrower, the borrower will receive a notification that they have tasks to complete as well.
