How Ontario mortgage brokers collect client documents

Document collection for mortgage brokers is the process of requesting, tracking, and assembling the ID, income proof, down-payment evidence, and lender conditions a borrower must provide before lender submission. Hivi-X replaces email chasing with reusable borrower checklists, secure guest link or my-id.ca portal uploads, missing-item tracking with approve/reject review, and an exportable PDF package — without replacing Finmo, BOSS, or Filogix.

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.

FAQ

Use a reusable intake checklist attached to the borrower record. The client uploads each item through a secure portal, the tool tracks what is missing, and you approve or reject submissions before exporting a package. This removes the back-and-forth email thread that slows most files down.

Yes. In Hivi-X you build a template once — for example a purchase A-lender checklist — and reuse it for every borrower. Keep separate templates for refinance, self-employed, and PTD condition chases.
