a la mode Debuts Mortgage XSites

Oklahoma City-based a la mode inc. has debuted Mortgage XSites -- websites containing business tools to generate leads and cut paperwork, among other things -- at the annual convention of the National Association of Mortgage Brokers.The sites are available for one annual fee, with "no nickel-and-dime add-ons or surprises," the company said. Among the features available on the sites are: DirectFax, which converts faxed tax returns and other paperwork to digital files; FlexApp 1003s, which the company says give small offices and single mortgage brokers the online application functionality of big lenders' sites; daily news feeds; and mortgage calculators. "MortgageXSites are the final piece of the online mortgage revolution," said Brad Eaton, the company's project manager for the sites. "Previously, only the biggest originators and niche lenders whose entire business model relied on the Internet channel had the interactive technology to allow borrowers to complete applications electronically."
