Frequently Asked Questions

What compliance features are essential for residential mortgage origination?
Residential mortgage platforms must automate TRID disclosure timing, RESPA requirements, HMDA data collection, and Qualified Mortgage rules. The system should track state-specific regulations and automatically apply updates. eClose capabilities including eSign, eNote, and eVault are increasingly standard. Compliance engines that lag regulatory changes create material risk for lenders.
How do residential mortgage platforms connect to the secondary market?
Platforms like Encompass provide deep GSE connectivity for loan delivery to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. This includes automated data submission, pricing integration, and investor-specific document packaging. Lenders who sell most production to the secondary market should prioritize this feature. Portfolio lenders can deprioritize it in favor of other capabilities.
What is the difference between an LOS and a POS for mortgage lending?
A point-of-sale system handles the borrower-facing application experience, while an LOS manages the full origination workflow behind it including processing, underwriting, compliance, and closing. Many modern platforms include built-in POS portals. Some lenders use separate POS systems that feed applications into their LOS for more control over the borrower experience.
