FirstClose and Flueid Integrate to Accelerate Title Decisions
Flueid, a real estate technology business that uses title data and insights to drive end-to-end transactions, announced an integration with FirstClose, Inc., the leading fintech solutions provider for home equity lenders across the country.

The integration will accelerate home equity lending, reducing transaction times from weeks to five days and supporting a seamless consumer experience.

FirstClose Equity reduces operational touchpoints and improves the borrower experience. The end-to-end platform includes a borrower-facing point-of-sale solution that provides consumers with rapid online feedback on home valuation, available home equity loan possibilities, and credit decisions in minutes. In addition, by combining Flueid's decisioning with FirstClose's data and workflow solutions, lenders can start new loans and close them in five days while lowering costs and making processes more efficient.

FirstClose stated that this integration would optimize its already exceptional customer service. The integration takes advantage of the best parts of both companies' core technologies to make the closing process faster, like other digital transactions.

Flueid stated that the company and FirstClose are pioneers in the home equity loan industry. They can simplify the transaction experience for consumers by including transaction decisions and title data at the outset of a lender's workflow.

Flueid and FirstClose will be showcasing their respective solutions from February 27 to March 1 at ICE Experience 2023.

Gantry Completes Second-best Year with Enormous Commercial Mortgage Production

Gantry | January 23, 2023

Gantry, the largest independent commercial mortgage banking firm in the United States, recently informed that it produced $4.93 billion in commercial mortgages in 2022. Meanwhile, even in 2021, Gantry had produced about $5.15 billion despite economic instability. It has broken records in the last three decades, completing the second-best production of commercial mortgage banking operations. Jeff Wilcox, Principal of Gantry, said, "Last year was a tale of two halves, where after record setting Q1 and Q2 production totals, the market slowed for price discovery during the second half of the year. Despite the challenges, we have an experienced team that has successfully navigated cycle shifts in the past and operates proactively from that perspective." (Source - Business Wire) With $17.5 billion in national-level business in 2022, Gantry has no failed or missed transactions in asset types. This performance led to active interactions with clients as the originator and service provider, an actual rating at the time of placement, and a consultative role in choosing the best financial plan for the client's unique investment objectives. In addition, it examines every investment keenly for variations in performance, maturities, and tenant rollover at the annual assessments. In 2022, Gantry provided 476 loans, including every type of commercial asset class. Around 85% of Gantry's 2022 production was financed by life insurers, regional banks, and credit unions, with each type of lender performing better for various borrowers. In terms of asset classes, Gantry continues to secure office, retail, and lender-preferred industrial and multifamily loan deals. In addition, Gantry successfully funded specialty assets, such as healthcare and self-storage, through various correspondent or associate lenders. About Gantry Gantry, a San Francisco-based private mortgage bank, has many correspondent lenders that use its production, closing, and servicing services. The company, founded in 1991, has approximately 100 employees in regional offices in the western US and New York and over 45 production teams that generated nearly $5 billion in the past year.
