Snapdocs claims that its platform powers over 10% of all US residential mortgage transactions, around $150 billion in real estate transactions annually.
“This is a huge milestone for the Snapdocs team and towards delivering on our promise of a seamless digital real estate closing,” says Aaron King, CEO of Snapdocs.
“It’s also a big milestone for our lender and title partners who are now trusting us with over 750,000 real estate closings a year […] this capital enables us to continue to scale our world-class team so we can build the technology you need to thrive in a digital age.”
David Jegen, managing partner of F-Prime Capital’s tech fund, adds: “Residential mortgages is a $2 trillion industry and one of the largest sectors yet to be digitised.”
“The entire closing process is cumbersome and in need of a better workflow for collaboration, coordination and transparency. Snapdocs has built the leading vertical software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution to this problem and is well-positioned to become the industry’s platform for digital mortgage closings.”
