How Ontario mortgage brokers collect client documents
Why email and shared drives break down
Most Ontario mortgage agents still collect borrower files the same way: pay stubs in email, bank statements in text, gift letters in a shared drive. It works until a file gets busy — then nothing shows whether the package is complete before lender submission.
Email has no concept of "complete." PTD conditions arrive as a second chase. Solo agents at micro-brokerages spend hours re-requesting blurry photos and password-locked PDFs.
What a document-collection tool actually does
A purpose-built tool turns your intake list into a tracked borrower file. You attach a checklist to the client record; the borrower uploads each item through a secure portal; you approve or reject before packaging.
- Reusable borrower checklists instead of re-typing the same email list.
- A live dashboard of received vs missing items per deal.
- Item-level approve, reject, or re-request for document quality.
- An exportable PDF package for principal broker review or LOS upload.
How Hivi-X fits an Ontario agent workflow (honest v1)
Hivi-X is a document-collection layer alongside your LOS — not a replacement. You build reusable checklists for purchase, refinance, and self-employed workflows, attach them to borrower records, and borrowers upload via a secure guest link (no account needed) or the my-id.ca portal. You can also add files as they arrive from email.
Voice notes and self-hosted AI summaries help document call recaps on the borrower file. When the package is ready, export a PDF for principal broker review or manual upload to Finmo, BOSS, Filogix, or your lender portal.
