HousingWire Honors DocMagic’s Brian D. Pannell with
2020 Tech Trendsetters Award
eServices mortgage technology executive recognized for multiple
accomplishments throughout 2020
TORRANCE, Calif., Dec. 4, 2020—DocMagic, Inc.,
the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory
compliance, and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that its chief eServices executive, Brian D. Pannell, has received HousingWire’s 2020 Tech Trendsetters award. Now in its
second year, the prestigious award recognizes the most impactful and innovative
technology leaders serving the housing economy.
HousingWire’s editorial board selected a total of 50 winners based on their
professional success over the last 12 months, as well as their overall career
accomplishments for both their companies and the industry sector they
represent. Winners came from various sectors of tech within the housing
economy, including residential mortgage lending, servicing, investing, construction,
and real estate.
“Our Tech Trendsetters
award recognizes a group of leaders who were critical to the outstanding
performance of housing and real estate during this pandemic, finding innovative
solutions when everything changed on a dime,” said HousingWire
Editor in Chief Sarah Wheeler. “We’re very proud to celebrate their
achievements and honor the impact they’ve had at such a crucial time.”
Brian D. Pannell’s
solution-oriented approach has helped countless lending entities go “e,”
positioning them for long-term success and positively impacting their ability
to serve their customers during the pandemic.
Brian has been key in
driving facilitation, implementation, and industry adoption of multiple DocMagic solutions. One of those solutions is Total eClose™, DocMagic’s award-winning,
single-source eClosing platform that removes all
paper from the closing process while leveraging the precision-based accuracy of
the company’s intelligent, dynamic document generation capabilities.
In addition, Brian has been
hands-on in implementing DocMagic’s eVault and eNote processes—not just for lenders but
also for other members of the supply chain. For example, he worked on Secured
Party and Master Servicer/Subservicer for the support
of MERS, the Federal Home Loan Banks, Ginnie Mae, and
the gap in servicing support that is seen for servicers that don’t have their
own eVaults.
“I am truly honored to have
been named to HW’s 2020 class of Tech Trendsetters,” Pannell said. “This year
has been one of the most challenging in my career given the influx of requests
to implement many of our solutions throughout the pandemic and refi boom that
is setting volume records. But seeing all the hard work pay off for DocMagic’s clients and partners has been very gratifying, and receiving the Tech Trendsetters award at the
end of this long year makes it all worthwhile.”
In 2020, Brian also helped
implement AutoPrep, a new technology that enables DocMagic’s
Total eClose platform to accept documents from any
source by “e-enabling” them for paperless eClosings.
Brian has and continues to
serve as an invaluable resource to the mortgage industry as a subject matter expert
on end-to-end eMortgage automation, eSigning, eNotarization, eNotes, eVaults, eClosing, eWarehouse lending, and
more. He has helped countless lenders, technology service providers, GSEs, and
investors understand the immense value of going “e.” He’s played a key part in
where digital mortgages are headed and serves as both a leader and educator to
evangelize the industry-wide benefits for the many organizations he works
with.
“In its second year, the 2020 Tech Trendsetters once again
surpassed all expectations as the housing industry rose up to meet
unprecedented challenges,” HousingWire Magazine
Editor Kelsey Ramírez said. “This year’s Tech Trendsetters represent shapers
whose innovative solutions continue to inspire the industry.”
