PALM BAY, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ISGN CorporationTM (“ISGN”), a leading provider of end-to-end technology solutions and services to the U.S. mortgage industry, today announced that PrimeLending, a national residential mortgage lender, has implemented ISGN’s TCLTM product, an industry proven comprehensive software system developed specifically for servicing residential and commercial construction loans.
According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., both residential and commercial construction loan volume is rebounding after a steep decline. A recent article in The Wall Street Journal cited that outstanding loans totaled nearly $45.7 billion in the first quarter – up 4.5 percent from the fourth quarter – marking the fourth consecutive quarterly gain for construction lending to home builders.
As a result of this increased construction lending demand, PrimeLending will leverage TCL to better manage residential construction loans from one streamlined, automated and configurable system, allowing control of the end-to-end management of the entire loan lifecycle.
“U.S. home construction has recently showed signs of improvement and growth,” said Kale Salmans, senior vice president of Construction and Renovation for PrimeLending. “This prompted us to invest in ISGN’s TCL platform to better manage the increased demand in residential construction loans while allowing us to become more efficient. With this technology in place, our loan originators have the ability to increase their home loan pipelines.”
“The U.S. construction lending industry is seeing a slow but steady recovery, with McGraw Hill Construction projecting total U.S. construction starts to rise by nine percent in 2014 to $555.3 billion,” said Paul Imura, chief marketing officer of ISGN. “In response, lenders like PrimeLending are investing in technology like our TCL, indicating a strong need for automated end-to-end construction loan servicing software to better manage the increased demand in construction loans.”
