MISMO®, the real estate finance industry's standards organization, today announced a call for industry professionals to join the Title and Closing Docs to Data Development Workgroup (DWG), which will focus on creating standards for frequently used title and closing documents that can be readily adopted by the mortgage industry to establish a consistent method of title data exchange between parties. This effort is part of MISMO’s work to enhance interoperability throughout the industry.

“The DWG is currently focused on pre-closing and closing documents and will soon shift attention to post-closing documents, specifically the title policy long and short forms,” said David Coleman, President of MISMO. “MISMO invites industry professionals to join the DWG to ensure that the published work products comprehensively meet the needs of the industry.”

Individuals interested in joining this group who are already MISMO Members may join the Title and Closing Docs to Data Development Workgroup (DWG) collaboration site that has been established on MISMO Connect. Those not already members of MISMO who would like to participate should contact info@mismo.org. Meetings are held on the first and third Wednesday each month from 2:00 – 3:00pm ET via video conference.

MISMO's work to solve key business challenges is made possible due to lender support of the MISMO Innovation Investment Fee. For information on MISMO and how to join visit MISMO.org.
