Company News
Mortgage Connect has acquired a majority stake in digital mortgage technology company Stavvy and will merge it with its Simply Secure Sign eClosing platform. The combined platform aims to create an end-to-end digital mortgage closing solution, eliminating the need for lenders to rely on multiple technology vendors. The integrated system will span closing eligibility, document execution, notarisation, eNotes, eVault custody and collateral management. Mortgage Connect's platform currently supports various notarisation methods, whilst Stavvy adds SMART Doc generation, eNote execution across all US states, and eVault custody. The platform will determine the appropriate closing method for each transaction and support purchase, refinance, home equity and loss mitigation deals. Mortgage Connect currently serves 19 of the 20 largest US lenders and servicers. Stavvy's leadership team and employees will join Mortgage Connect.
Mortgage Connect moves digital mortgage forward by combining Stavvy(R) and Simply Secure Sign(R). Connecting industry-leading eClosing, Remote Online Notarization, SMART Doc(R) generation, eNote and eVault capabilities through a single, end-to-end digital closing platform. PITTSBURGH, PA, October 6, 2026, Mortgage Connect, LP, one of the nation's largest providers of mortgage services and technology solutions, today announced that it has purchased the majority interest in the Stavvy(R) platform and plans to merge its business operations with Simply Secure Sign(R), Mortgage Connect's eClosing solution, creating a stronger digital closing platform with expanded capabilities, greater resources and deep industry expertise. The combination brings together two complementary technologies to deliver a more comprehensive end-to-end eClosing experience for lenders, servicers, investors and settlement partners. This partnership allows Mortgage Connect to continue its mission of lowering the cost of the real estate transactions for both refinance & purchase, while controlling risk, staying compliant and delivering the highest-level consumer experience. For lenders, that's where the real value comes in. Today, lenders frequently rely on multiple vendors to execute a fully digital closing - creating separate integrations, contracts, security reviews, workflows and operational handoffs. The Mortgage Connect and Stavvy combination eliminates much of that fragmentation and provides lenders with a single platform from closing eligibility through digital execution and collateral management. Mortgage Connect has built a national eClosing platform known for delivering a seamless borrower and lender experience across remote online notarization, IPEN, hybrid and traditional closing transactions. Stavvy adds the digital note and collateral infrastructure that completes that experience, including SMART Doc(R) generation, eNote execution across all 50 states, eVault custody, and MERS eRegistry registration and transfer. "Mortgage Connect has always focused on innovation that creates meaningful efficiencies and lowers the cost of the real estate transaction. By bringing Simply Secure Sign and Stavvy together, we are creating a more complete digital mortgage platform with expanded capabilities across closing, servicing and collateral management. This combination allows our clients to simplify workflows, reduce operational friction and deliver a better experience for their consumers. We're excited to bring this enhanced platform to the market and continue helping lenders and servicers move toward a more efficient, fully digital mortgage experience." - Jeff Coury, CEO, Mortgage Connect, LP The combined platform will identify the appropriate closing experience for each transaction through digital eligibility technology, determining whether a loan can be completed through full remote online notarization, IPEN, hybrid execution or a traditional wet closing. From there, lenders can remain within the same ecosystem through eClosing/document execution, notarization, eNote creation, MERS eRegistry registration, eVault custody and post-closing processes. That end-to-end capability extends across purchase, refinance, home equity and loss mitigation transactions. Mortgage Connect currently serves 19 of the top 20 lenders and servicers in the United States across origination, servicing and default. By bringing together Stavvy(R) and Simply Secure Sign(R), Mortgage Connect now delivers a more complete end-to-end digital closing platform to its nationwide network, helping accelerate the industry's transition to fully digital mortgage execution. "What makes this combination so compelling is how naturally the two platforms fit together. Stavvy has built the technology infrastructure around eNotes, eVaults and digital collateral, while Mortgage Connect has built an exceptional eClosing experience with the scale and operational execution to support the country's largest lenders. Bringing those capabilities together under one roof creates something very different for the market - a true end-to-end eClosing platform where lenders no longer have to piece together multiple providers to complete a digital mortgage transaction." - Kyle Stephenson, CEO, Stavvy Stavvy's leadership team and employees will join Mortgage Connect as the companies combine their technology, expertise and continue to expand the platform and its capabilities.

New Ruling and letter on noncompete clauses. Jun 12, 2026 My very first writing assignment in law school involved covenants not to compete. One of the most fascinating aspects of these agreements is that they can be treated very differently depending on the industry. There is also a long history of the courts either declining to enforce a covenant altogether or modifying it to make it enforceable. As a result, new decisions in this area are always worth watching. And there's a recent Pennsylvania court decision case in a real estate-adjacent field, along with some input about noncompetes from the Federal Trade Commission. What is a covenant not to compete? It is a contract in which one party agrees not to enter into or start a similar profession or business that competes with another party. These agreements are often referred to as noncompete clauses and are commonly found in employment contracts. Historically, courts have considered the wording of the noncompete, the length of time it remains in effect after employment ends, the geographic area it covers and the industry involved. The goal is typically to balance a company's legitimate interest in protecting its business and trade secrets against an employee's ability to earn a living in their chosen profession. Courts also generally respect negotiated agreements and seek to enforce valid contracts. However, when a noncompete is overly restrictive, courts have sometimes refused to enforce it entirely. A Recent Court Ruling A recent case, Mortgage Connect, L.P. v. Melissa Harvey & First Title & Escrow, Inc., filed in the Allegheny County court of common please, involved a noncompete agreement signed by Melissa Harvey, a senior vice president at Mortgage Connect. After leaving the company to join First Title & Escrow in May 2025, Mortgage Connect sought to enforce an agreement she had signed in August 2022. The agreement restricted Harvey from competing for one year and imposed a nationwide geographic limitation. The court found that the one-year restriction was reasonable but determined that the nationwide geographic scope was overly broad and therefore unenforceable. In reaching its decision, the court noted that the covenant would effectively prevent Harvey from working in nearly any capacity within the mortgage industry, where she had spent most of her career. The court also considered that Harvey had not taken confidential information from Mortgage Connect and did not serve in a client-facing role. Together, those factors weighed against enforcing the restriction as written. While the court focused on whether the specific restrictions were enforceable under state law, the Federal Trade Commission's concerns highlight a broader policy debate over the use of noncompete agreements. Traditionally, noncompete clauses have been governed by state law, rather than federal law. However, the FTC has been examining whether certain noncompete agreements are unjustified, overly broad, unfair or anticompetitive. The letter notes that, based on information reviewed by the agency, Mortgage Connect appears to require all employees to sign the same noncompete agreement regardless of position. According to the FTC, the agreement does not appear to be tailored to an employee's specific roles and responsibilities or demonstrate why such restrictions are necessary to protect the company's interests. This may negatively affect competition by limiting other companies' ability to hire experienced professionals who have previously worked for Mortgage Connect. The letter does not constitute formal enforcement action; it expresses concern and encourages the company to review its agreements to ensure they are not overly broad or anticompetitive. What does this mean for real estate? Many brokerages either have included or have considered including noncompete clauses in their agreements with agents and managers. This recent court decision and FTC letter serve as reminders that noncompete agreements are generally viewed with caution and will be scrutinized if they are overly broad or restrictive. Any such restriction should be narrowly tailored in scope and should not effectively prevent an individual from working in their profession. The hotline cannot provide language for drafting noncompete agreements, so brokerages interested in implementing one should consult experienced legal counsel.
