MA review of loan processes
Comments: excellent relations with their top team who obviously know what they are doing and quick to respond to any issues that may arise.
Pros:
Ability to identify loan origination breakdowns, i.e. 1st, 2nds, blankets, etc. as well as handling of individual investors per deal.
Cons:
difficulty in dealing with annual statements and amortisation calculations for administration purposes. I like simplicity for the reader to understand what they are looking at, however i find i have to manually modify payout statements that are overly detailed rather than consolidated.

The borrower application, while customizable is the clunkiest feature of the product. I've had a lot of problems with it, but the team does recognize this is an issue and is working to make improvements on it.

The BEST way to automate your private lending business
Comments: The guys are amazing to work with! Quick service, friendly, and always willing to lend a hand to help!
Pros:
I love love LOVE this program. It has made my tracking headache free and comes with every option I need. The best part? Every time I think of a new option I might need, the developers at MA are somehow ALREADY ON IT! Can you say innovative? Would recommend to anyone who runs a MIC/ Private Mortgage company
Cons:
The only downfall I can see is the price. However that being said, we feel it is worth every penny. It does come in higher than other software however it takes the headache away from funding deals, issuing documents, and keeping track of funds!

Mortgage Automator has helped us streamline and improve efficiency across the organization
Pros:
Mortgage Automator is very user friendly, most if not all of us use it all day every day for work across the company from origination, underwriting, to mortgage admin and servicing and even MIC management. We onboarded with automator quite a few years ago and at the time it was in its infancy, and it has grown so much since then.
Cons:
Sometimes there are changes made on the backend that impact our reports, documents, or in general settings we have, and it is tough to get a resolution from the support team at times. It can cause disruption to our operations and be frustrating at times. The support team is very friendly when these issues come up.

Great mortgage software.
Pros:
Its robust and allows the origination process to go smoothly with document generation.
Cons:
Screens can be busy at times, more defined tabs/shortcuts/sections within a loan would be helpful as opposed to one long scrolling page.

Thank you for your support, Arryn. We're always trying to develop new ways to improve navigation while ensuring nothing is hidden unintentionally. We would love to hear more about the specific issues you are experiencing; please do not hesitate to reach out to our Support team!
Detailed and Easy to Use System, Excellent Customer Service and Team!
Comments:
Mortgage Automator has changed our company for the better. Our processes continued to be streamlined as more features and automation are added to the software. As a team we are thrilled by the amount of new features and progress that the software has provided us. When we decided to commit to Mortgage Automator a year ago, we knew that there would be some frustrations along the way as the software developed and new features would be added over time, but we can confidently say we have no regrets making the commitment and sticking with MA through those challenges!
As we continue to use the software and identify gaps or errors, the Mortgage Automator team addresses our concerns and escalates issues to developers or simply fixes the problem by a quick look of the issue on their end. Overall, Mortgage Automator continues to provide excellent customer service and continues to save us time and effort as the software can be adjusted to fit our needs.
Pros:
We started using Mortgage Automator after reviewing several other loan management systems and decided that Mortgage Automator was the best long-run choice.. At the time, there were a number of missing features, but we took the leap and trusted that the team and system would deliver in the future. The leadership team at Mortgage Automator has definitely kept their promises! Over the past several months they have released features that have been crucial to our business. It is fast, easy to use, and reliable. A short list of the things we love: • The Kanban tile view for our in progress loans • Ability to accept fee payments via credit card • Customization specific to our company • Customization of documents created in the system • The communications module which allows us to set up rules and templates that can be triggered to send emails and/or text messages • Auto-draft monthly payments, outstanding fees and charges via NACHA file • Suggest a feature board • The support team responsiveness! They do a great job answering questions and solving problems via chat feature or email
Cons:
There are a lot of new features released or changes being made to improve the software, sometimes it is hard to keep up and learn how the new features change or affect our current loans. The knowledge based articles are helpful, but our hope is that there will be demonstration videos and best practices shared so that we can continue to use the software to it's fullest extent.

Best software for anyone managing Mortgage Capital
Comments: Deal management & tracking have become very simple. The best part is managing progress throughout the deal with all the documents being auto generated; commitments, instructions to the solicitor etc, payouts etc. A lot of the manual work has been eliminated.
Pros:
I have used this software for a little more than a year now and I can easily say its the best software out there. It comes with abundance amount of options and beauty is you can customize it to an extent that you only see the options you plan on using. We were spending hours on manual templates and tracking process of each loan; automator has automated all the steps. All the documents can be easily generated with the push of the button. Some of the features such as complex loans(multiple investors, rate scaling, managing broker/investor profiles to easily track deals and Year end reporting) can't be found elsewhere. I'd highly recommend this for anyone investing in mortgages or anyone managing mortgage capital.
Cons:
I don't think there is not a whole lot to dislike.
