Lucas Hanson helped build a company that has transformed a disconnected, inefficient real estate closing process to a simple, user-friendly experience with a platform that now processes over 10% of all US real estate transactions.

Hansen spearheaded several initiatives including Qualia’s first of its kind two-way integration with Ellie Mae’s Encompass digital mortgage solution. This integration is the mortgage industry’s first 2WI with a title, escrow and closing software. He also oversaw E-signing by Qualia, the only title, escrow and closing software with a built-in electronic signature. Finally, Hansen engineered and oversaw the implementation of Notary by Qualia, a platform feature that provides title and escrow agents with easy-to-use notary services from Qualia’s nationwide network of verified professional notaries knowledgeable of the real estate closing process.
