SoftPro announced the release of its integration with Black Knight's Expedite® Close, enabling its users to easily and securely sign and notarize documents online. The integration provides seamless, online collaboration between all parties involved in a real estate transaction, including the settlement agent, lender, real estate professional, investor and the consumer.

Patrick Hempen, SoftPro Chief Customer Officer, said, "SoftPro is excited to offer this new integration with Expedite Close to our customers. With key capabilities such as integrated eSigning, document recognition and automated signature field application, our users, in addition to home buyers and sellers, will greatly benefit from the added efficiencies the technology offers." 

Expedite Close's remote online notarization (RON) capabilities further streamline the transfer of real property for all entities. These enhanced process efficiencies result in improved buyer satisfaction, as well as lower transaction costs for the consumer. Now, SoftPro users can tap into those same benefits without leaving their SoftPro environment.
