Applying for a mortgage can be stressful and confusing. For most homebuyers and mortgage brokers, the first step is filling out the Uniform Residential Loan Application, also known as the 1003 form. This form asks for important personal and financial information, like your income, assets, and work history. Completing it often takes a lot of time and effort.

Common Problems with Mortgage Applications

To get a mortgage approved, borrowers must send in documents about their income, assets, and job history. These documents can come as PDFs, scanned images, or emails. Each format is different, and sometimes hard to read or use.

Loan officers often spend time looking for missing details in these documents. They may need to ask borrowers the same questions many times. If information is missing or inconsistent, the process can slow down. This leads to delays and frustration for both the borrower and the lender.

How AI is Solving These Challenges

Imagine if brokers and homebuyers could just upload a few documents, and the system would do the rest. Our Mortgage solution uses advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AWS Textract to help. AWS Textract is a cloud-based service from Amazon that reads and pulls information from many types of documents. It uses technology called Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to “read” scanned paper or images.

When borrowers upload their pay stubs, W-2s, and bank statements, the AI system automatically finds the important information. It fills in the 1003 mortgage form for them. If something is missing, the system highlights it right away and asks for it. For example, the system might ask, “What is your credit score?” or “Do you have other income?” This helps everyone make sure all the important details are included the first time.

Step-by-Step Help for Users

Our solution marks missing fields, so users cannot skip any important entries. If a document is missing, or if information is incomplete, the system lets the user know. It checks if borrowers meet important criteria, like the FICO score (a common credit score used by lenders in the US), and gives helpful advice on how to improve it.

Once the system checks everything, it creates a clean, accurate mortgage application. There is no need to deal with messy or confusing documents. This makes the process faster and less stressful for everyone.

Real Benefits for Clients
