OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- a la mode, inc., developer of multi-market real estate software and online services, announced the release of FleXApp 1003. FleXApp 1003 is the industry's most robust and useful online mortgage loan application system for mortgage brokers and loan officers, already in the hands of thousands of Mortgage XSites users and now available as a standalone application.

With all the powerful features of a la mode's Mortgage XSites' online application management, FleXApp 1003 lets brokers provide top-flight customer service, a secure environment and 24/7 application availability and status updates to borrowers.

"Mortgage brokers and loan officers know that to be successful in a changing market in 2006, they will need to do business on their customers' terms. That includes especially offering a secure, 24/7, online environment where borrowers can not only initiate and submit an application, but be in control of the process going forward," said Brad Eaton, Vice President of Mortgage Products with a la mode.

"Borrowers today pay bills, bank and shop online," Eaton continued. "They want to apply for and manage their mortgage loans in the same secure, private environment." Brokers who don't heed their customers' demand for increased efficiency, privacy and security online will be left behind, Eaton noted.

FleXApp 1003 is the ideal solution for brokers who either can't or don't want to switch websites but need a powerful online mortgage application. FleXApp 1003 is completely housed on a la mode's secure servers and the innovative administration interface is accessible from any computer, any time.

Mortgage XSites users already enjoy the powerful tools now available separately as FleXApp 1003. Brokers who try FleXApp 1003 and later want to upgrade to a full-fledged Mortgage XSite will be able to do so seamlessly, with no loss of data or contacts and no change in functionality.

Eaton stressed that while the public face of FleXApp 1003 appeals to borrowers, it is also a comprehensive management tool for the broker. "Application status is just the beginning," Eaton said. "FleXApp 1003 users can securely share access to certain information with real estate agent colleagues and limit staff members in bigger offices to the borrowers assigned to them. Notifications and status updates can be sent to multiple e-mail addresses, saving time and keeping everyone on the same page. And disclosure statements and other required notices can be managed and provided to applicants automatically."

FleXApp 1003's management tools are so useful and robust that application data will soon be able to be imported from other sources like Desktop Underwriter(TM) and Loan Prospector(TM). "Even borrowers who don't apply online with the broker will appreciate the always-on accessibility and security of FleXApp 1003, which allows them to monitor and have control of the loan process," Eaton concluded.
