Seattle-based tech startup JetClosing raises $11M in funding to turbocharge eClosing solution for real estate agents; announces Anna Collins as President & CEO

If you have ever bought a home in the past, you know that closing a home sale still involves mountains of paperwork. The traditional home closing process is not only manually intensive but also time-consuming and error-prone with a bonus case of signature-induced carpal tunnel syndrome.

Enter JetClosing,  a Seattle, Washington-based tech startup that aims to digitize signatures wherever possible and eliminate the paper for good. JetClosing is a tech-driven platform that allows real estate professionals to handle home sale closings, refinancings, and title and escrow fully digitally.

Today, JetClosing announced it has closed $11 million in Series B funding under the direction of new CEO Anna Collins. Prior to JetClosing, Anna held leadership roles and helped scale new businesses at notable technology companies, including Amazon, Microsoft, aQuantive, and several start-ups.

The round includes follow-on investments from PSL Ventures, Trilogy Equity Partners, and others, as well as investment from funds and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. JetClosing said it will use the new funding to accelerate market growth invest in its operations and technology, building a seamless customer experience to help real estate agents, sellers, and buyers more effortlessly close on homes securely and from anywhere.

This funding comes in the midst of an accelerated shift to online closings since the start of the pandemic. Fannie Mae saw eMortgage volume hit $38.8B in the first half of 2020, a nearly 1500% growth rate over a full-year 2018 volume of $2.7B. Additionally, JetClosing’s remote online notarization (RON) partner Notarize saw a 700% increase in RONs in the months following the pandemic.
