Starting the Application There are two ways the Seller can access the HomeBridgeapplication. Link from your website to the on-line application, or An email containing a hyperlink to the online application.
Filling Out the Application From the login page, Seller’s have two choices: • Sign in if already in the Comergence network. • The Seller’s profile is already in the system; simply click to share it with HomeBridge. • 2) Start filling out the application by clicking register. • Simply populate the application as any other application.
Adding Documents HomeBridge Required Documents • The Seller will upload any documents requested. • Documents are uploaded by the Seller into the Comergence system. • Along with the e-application, this protects the Seller from identity theft. • Adding documents is as simple as browsing and clicking “ADD”. • General documents requested by other lenders may already be in the system, saving the Seller valuable time. • Documents specific to HomeBridge, such as the MLPA, will never be shared with any other lender.
Comergence Role Once the Seller clicks submit, Comergence goes to work • Comergence performs the initial background work. • This includes items such as licensing, legal claims and criminal background checks. • Although Comergence checks major credit items, they do not pull a credit report and thus your clients credit score will not be damaged. • Common names can create problems but Comergence can help. • Comergence technology and analysts are constantly checking for false items and eliminates those items so that the Seller does not have to explain issues that do not belong to them. • Comergence report only facts, never an opinion. • Comergence background work turn around times are quoted at 24- 48 hours although they consistently complete the work within 24 hours.
Approval Decision & Communication • HomeBridge makes all decisions on Seller approvals. • Comergence provides background information only. • Comergence never dispositions an application. • Upon application completion, the Seller is sent an email notification. • Sellers can check status of their application 24/7 in the same portal they completed the application. • Seller agreements, document updates, annual recertification's and any other Seller management is done quickly and easily through the system. • Because documents are stored separately, they can be renewed easily and the system does the follow up for you.
