A True Partnership
Our Success is based on Relationships: For us to be able to be able to meet the growing and demanding needs of our clients, we must be able to rely on the relationships that we have with our contractors; abstractors, appraisers, attorneys and closing companies. "The whole is greater than the sum of all parts"; we can only achieve our goals and provide service to our clients, if we all work together and believe in the same vision.
We place the same demands on our contractors that we do on our employees; understand what is expected, make a commitment, then execute to the best of your ability. The loyalty, dedication and professionalism of our partners is critical to our continued success.
Title Work Expectations
Ordering Process: Many factors are used by our office when choosing who to assign work to. Our Contractor Order System (COS) manages our choices and tracks both pricing and service levels provided by the contractor. The following is a list of very important factors used when determining who gives us the best chance to succeed.
Accuracy - Only knowledgeable, consistent and accurate contractors will be used.
Fees - Competitive pricing affords us the ability to keep costs low to our clients, providing consistent volume to our partners.
Service Who consistently provides the best service and cares about the work they complete.
Speed - Who completes the work the fastest without sacrificing accuracy, giving us the best chance to meet the demands of our clients.
Responsive - We want people that treat our requests with urgency. Those who respond immediately and give us the most options for getting in touch with them.
Liability - Does the contractor have E&O coverage? In the unfortunate event that a mistake does take place, we know you are protected and thus we are protected as well.
Completing Work: All completed title reports are to be sent immediately via fax or e-mail. Include a written report and NOT just copies of the conveyances. It is very important to understand that we will ONLY pay for copies that we request.
