Oh, I just remembered, I forgot to complete my thought on securing more title biz. You simply dial for dollars and think local. Have a Notary Credentials Pack already made up to shoot over to the person you've talked to in Vendor Management. A Notary Credentials Pack is simply a PDF of your Notary License, E & O (min $100K), Background Screened Signing Agent Certificate from the National Notary Association and a signed W-9). With the W-9, Title does not worry about whether the date is today's date; just as long as it's dated for the current year.

OK, gotta run. Have a great rest of the day.

Now, when you call her up be very nice and tell her you were referred to her by Regina Brown out of Philly, PA. I believe she will help you or get you to someone who can. She's nice. Tell her you think you got accidently dropped between the cracks and that you know she needs a twin, but could she please look into it for her. Tell her you really need your money and would appreciate anything she could do for you. That's it.
Let's say she says she'll look into it for you. Follow up with a 'Thank You' email, that will read like this:

"RE: Open Invoice on XYZ Borrower

Hi Stephanie,

Thank you so very much for taking the time out of your usy schedule to assit me in closing the open invoice on XYZ Borrower, File #:33344, Loan #: 3333333. Your time is extremely valuable and I respect it. Thanks again for taking time out to help me clear up this matter".

Just be patient. If you don't hear back from her in within 3 days follow up with another phone call and email.

Convenient Closing Services is the Signing Co. for Title Resource Group. My 1st experience with them was a little rocky. They called me on 12/31/10, New year's Eve at ~ 11 AM for a for a late-night (8 PM) closing. I got the docs by 1:40 PM but nobody told me it was a Piggy-Back (2 loans). Their paperwork was neat and clean however; no crazy redundancy. I had only charged for one Signing($150). So, I made more than one call trying to get that straightened out. In the end, the HUD was wrong according to the borrower and the signing was cancelled but nobody from Convenient Closing Services nor TRG called me. I found out last minute after touching base with the borrower; not good.

Fast Forward to 01/03/11. I was called and told that the loan docs were re-drawn and asked if I wanted to close the said loan. I told Stephanie I would. She asked me how much would my fee be and I said $$299; accepted. I then told her that I wanted to be paid immediately following disbursement; agreed. You should always make a Signing or Title Co. put stuff like this in the confirmation, although I didn't this time but plan to in the future. You must follow your gut feeling (God blesses us with that gift) and act accordingly. I was paid by 01/12/11 (2nd home - No RTC).

Most Title Co.'s do not allow you to go on the HUD (they pay internally), but politely and firmly state that you want to go on the HUD when you're initially negotiating.

Before I do another cosing for them I will have them agree to and include my stips (the following should be stated in the confirmation: fee of $150.00 to be mailed or overnighted to you at time of disbursement - verbally confirm ink color and say no 'Fax Backs, Right?'). Then I will print out docs and close the loan.

I hope this helps. I've invested time in you and now when you get an opportunity to do good for someone else, do it. God loves a cheerful giver and will bless you for it.

Regards,

gi
