Land Gorilla, Black Knight integrate to streamline construction loans

Land Gorilla has announced that its Construction Loan Manager (CLM) software will be integrated into Black Knight’s LoanSphere Empower loan origination system.

Land Gorilla is a technology provider of construction loan management software. CLM allows users to manage and streamline all aspects of the construction loan management process—from pre-closing due diligence to post-closing draw administration.

Through the integration, lenders will be able to transfer loan data from the Empower system to CLM.

The companies said this saves time for loan onboarding, increases process efficiency and consistency, and reduces errors. Additionally, the integration will provide lenders with full visibility and control of their construction loan pipeline, from origination to post-close management.

Benefits of the integration for Land Gorilla’s end users include process automation for initiating data delivery, reduced loan touch time and associated costs, greater efficiencies for loan admin team, reduced risk and legal exposure, and better consumer and builder experience.

"The integration of the Empower system and Land Gorilla's CLM software will benefit our mutual lender clients by helping them better manage the draw management processes for the construction period more efficiently," said Rich Gagliano, president of Black Knight's origination technologies division.

"We are very excited to bring our premier technologies together in this integration to provide a more efficient experience for lenders," Land Gorilla CEO Sean Faries said. "The integration between Black Knight and Land Gorilla will equip users with the transparency, risk abatement, and cost efficiencies required to be successful and meet the growing demand for construction and renovation loans."
