In 2025, Michael Sachdev is redefining mortgage technology as CEO of Snapdocs, transforming it into an indispensable digital closing infrastructure that supports 1 in 4 U.S. mortgage closings. His leadership has guided Snapdocs through a strategic transformation, focusing on AI-powered products that automate manual, error-prone workflows, enabling the market to operate with greater speed and confidence. Amid the mortgage industry’s steepest contraction in two decades, Sachdev prioritized long-term infrastructure over flashy features, addressing the industry’s most overlooked operational problems. His focus on AI-powered workflows has positioned Snapdocs as the connective tissue between lenders, title companies, notaries, and secondary market participants.
In the past year, Sachdev led the launch of three AI-powered solutions to streamline the closing process. The Quality Control solution automates document validation, detecting errors with 99%+ accuracy and reducing review time by over 1.5 hours per loan. The Trailing Document Management system automates the delivery and tracking of final documents, reducing repurchase risk and accelerating secondary market readiness. The upcoming CD Balancing tool compares and reconciles lender and title fee data to prevent funding delays. Sachdev, a veteran HousingWire Vanguard, is a leading voice in operational transformation, featured at events like HousingWire’s AI Summit and the MBA Annual Conference. His leadership style, rooted in empathy and precision, involves engaging with customers and field teams to address bottlenecks that technology alone cannot solve.
Under Sachdev’s leadership, Snapdocs has launched new AI products, served 1 in 4 U.S. mortgages with high customer satisfaction, and achieved 3.5x higher digital closing adoption and 2x greater eNote penetration than the industry average. These achievements reflect his commitment to solving real operational challenges and driving lasting change. Sachdev’s clarity of vision and empathy for operational challenges have positioned Snapdocs—and the industry—for long-term success.
What is one habit you swear by?
I start each day by looking at my calendar and assessing what is happening and what needs to get done. I visualize goals and a mindset for those activities, and then approach them with intention. It helps me show up the way I want to and be less reactive. It takes 3 minutes to do and can determine the trajectory of the entire day.
