It's no comparison...The loan officers can probably cut their loan time in half, if not by 80% because it's all done in one system.
—Scott Everett, President, Supreme Lending

It's allowed our operations process flow to cut our closing cycle down to about 15 days, which is tremendous, considering most processing companies average 30-45 days. I think it is probably the single most powerful automated solution.
—Jennifer Quinteros, Owner, Contract Processing, Inc.

It saves me hours of trying to do this by hand or asking questions about where we are...it's a fantastic system.

MortgageIT has been utilizing Encompass as our LOS system for over a year. Since full implementation we have seen a genuine increase in productivity and efficiency in our work flow. The milestones, document tracking, and file handoffs have been essential tools that have automated our process flow. Additionally granular reporting abilities have given us comprehensive and detailed accounts of our day to day production as well as vendor and lender trends.

The ePASS interface to lenders and vendors has dramatically cut down on wasted time due to duplicated data entry with a variety of vendors. Each member of our production staff has seen the benefits of this software from Loan Officers utilizing marketing abilities and easy interfaces to lenders to Loan Processors using internal calendars, file control, interfaces to vendors. Lastly, the communication component with this software is easily accessed and allows anyone to quickly add or review notes.
—Erika Clevenger, Encompass Administrator, MortgageIT

This decision turned out to be by far one of the best decisions. Your Encompass software has helped to increase our production and productivity, in addition to reducing the time spent processing and submitting files. Your contact manager and real-time communication tools are something to be truly admired. We run a virtually paperless company utilizing many of your software tools. . .This alone has increased our production by 25%. You have created an outstanding product, that has revolutionized the way we all should be doing business.
—Colin Watson, President, Mortgage Money Lenders

We are a contract processing team. We love Encompass...When a new Broker contacts us for processing we bring them over and show them the Encompass way. All of our clients walk out of here very excited not only about us as a team but Encompass. Across the nation, location means nothing when working in Encompass. . . Encompass puts us in the Broker's office, no matter where our desk is! We love what we do, and we do it with Encompass!
—Stephanie Hundley, New Broker Services, Outsource Mortgage Processing

As a national mortgage processing company, we have to use several LOS vendors due to the fact we service the entire nation. The accounts that we service that are on Encompass allow my processing staff to give faster and better service to our brokers and their borrowers. As soon as they logon, their entire pipeline is in front of them, with milestones alerting them of the files that need immediate attention. All important documents for the files can be scanned and available for instant verification and transmittal. Each Encompass account allows my staff to process and close more loans each month. As a business owner, more closed loans means growth, profit and the ability to offer customers the professional service they deserve. In the beginning a lot of my processors were afraid of the new software. As time went by these same people stated they wouldn't go back to the old way for any amount of money. The old saying "time is money" has never been more apparent. I urge everyone to take a look at the Encompass system and see where it can take your bottom line.
—Bruce Gilbert, President, Bundled Broker Services, Inc.

I switched from Point to Encompass and I am glad I did. I can look into one file and see everything I have completed and everything that I have done and everything I need to do. It is one stop for client database records and contact information; keeping the borrower and co-borrowers, the processor, the appraiser, the title and escrow officers, the realtors, the seller and any other interested parties informed; ordering appraisals, insurance, title; determining the lender and locking the loan. All this in a one-stop shop…and still there are other benefits like interaction with marketing and enhancement programs like Mortgage Coach, NYLX, Loan Toolbox. And still there is more...
—Korene L. Clopine-Seaman, Banker/Broker, Carteret Mortgage

We're a small mortgage brokerage operation located in Maine. Encompass has allowed us to handle our growth effectively by using technology rather then the more traditional answer of adding support staff. This means we can continue providing maximum service to our clients while insuring a strong return for the company. Encompass gives us the technological advantage we need to compete in today's aggressive mortgage marketplace.
—Bob Hogan, President, Dirigo Home Loans

I was new to the industry and happened to see a demo of Encompass when Ellie Mae first introduced this incredible software. Having been a Realtor for a number of years, I had learned that cutting edge technology can make or break your business. I ordered the software and attribute my learning the loan process to Ellie Mae's outstanding support and training. It has allowed me to manage all of the steps in the loan process, so I feel confident I am able to give my clients the service they deserve.
—Lee Corbett, Carteret Mortgage Corp.

As a startup company, Encompass has been the foundation from which we have begun our growth. The speed, efficiency and the streamlined pipeline of Encompass help us focus on the equally important tasks of sales and client relations.
—Lee Lorenzen, CEO, Leent, LLC

The program is very simple to use. Encompass utilizes great organizational skills and saves me valuable time. I am definitely sold on your mortgage origination software. I will recommend Ellie Mae to anyone!
—Lori A. Smith, President, Bayshore Mortgage Corporation

Ellie Mae's Encompass system and support team is outstanding! My company's slogan is, 'Life is good when you make the right choices!' And let me tell you deciding to switch from Calyx Point to Encompass was definitely the right choice for Secure Choice Mortgage, Inc. You guys are awesome!
—Rick DeLaVega, Broker/President, Secure Choice Mortgage Inc.

I'd been waiting five years to build my business around a platform like this, a platform that would enable me to take full advantage of the web. Now...all my loan officers are working from home using the company system and leaving me free to run the business…Encompass is awesome,
simply awesome...
—Richard Blanchard, Broker, Lightning Mortgage

A broker-owner can never have too much information—in determining what your margins are per loan, where your production is per loan agent, what lenders you're going to on a monthly basis. Encompass just supplies me a lot more knowledge than I've ever had—and knowledge
equals control.
—George Duarte, Broker/Owner, Horizon Financial Associates

Let me tell you, I am so glad that I made the switch! Not only is Encompass more user-friendly but it helps me manage my files 100 times more efficiently than any other LOS I have ever used. Being able to track the progress my processors have made with the file, and having the communication log for the processors and me to maintain communication throughout the process, is priceless! Every Loan Officer here is in love with Encompass! Going from (another product) to Encompass is like trying to find a doorway in a pitch black room and having someone turn on a spotlight.
—Ryan Ipson, Loan Officer, Amstar Mortgage Corporation

I'm the only processor with eight loan officers who don't work in the office-they're constantly calling me on the phone, constantly wanting to know the exact status of their file. ‘Have you gotten this approved yet? Did your order loan docs? When are docs going to be in title?' So the best thing about Encompass for me is that loan officers can look at loan status themselves and stop bugging me...
—Denise Camara, Loan Processor, Heritage Valley Mortgage

Encompass (enables) us to have real-time information about loan production, our mix of purchases versus refinances, how much business we are doing with our lenders and service providers and, most importantly, the ability to better forecast revenue. . .It is clear that Ellie Mae truly understands the unique needs of our loan officers, processors and management team.
—Eric Weinstein, President, Carteret Mortgage Corporation

Encompass has completely changed my life. Our production has gone up. With Encompass our two branch offices have cut down processing time to less than half, and now they are able to handle more business at the same time with less headaches.
—Zeff Farias, President, ZF Lending

I got Encompass and was immediately struck by the 'personas'—the separate views—and how easily they communicated with each other. I was just blown away by the advancement in technology. With Encompass, it's all there right in front of you: 'here's my pipeline, here's where I'm at, here's what I have to do next.' All of it up-to-date...
—Jed Galbraith, Loan Officer, Home Source Mortgage

Ellie Mae's approach to listening to real-world brokers and leveraging their experience in developing Encompass makes them the logical choice to help us continue to standardize loan origination processes and forms. Ellie Mae is building trust, open communications, and consensus around the very issues that will make our industry more profitable, no matter what the market.
—Armand Cosenza, Commonwealth Financial Services

It's an incredibly powerful tool, short term and long range, giving all our users secure access to their pipelines and other data wherever they are, so they can work anywhere, anytime without having to travel back to the office. Encompass is just amazing...
—Ben Harriman, Owner, H. C. Lending, Inc.

This program is amazing! For the last couple of years working in this business I have used Point and Byte; Encompass is in a league of its own. I can be sitting at Starbucks with a client going over their application from my laptop and submit it all right there. I do not ever have to come into the office—it is incredible. Now that I have more freedom and flexibility, I can spend more time on other tasks. My business has skyrocketed. I would never have believed that you could do so much business as a Mortgage Consultant before now. The great part about the company I work for is, since Encompass can be accessed anywhere and so can all of our other documents, everything we have is on the web. We are a total mobile company. Thank you Encompass.
—Bruce Champagne, Mortgage Consultant, Green Lake Financial

We were with Contour eight years. As we branched out, we needed to see everything companywide so we switched to Encompass. There have only been advantages to our switch. The transition was easy and the new software is phenomenal. It's easier to look at, easier to use and the management functions are so much better. We require all of our branches to use Encompass and we now have a full picture of the company. Any client can call our main office and we can tell them exactly what's going on with their loan. It makes my life very easy.
—Don Anfuso, Vice President of AMS Mortgage Network
