This week's Title Tip of the Week explains what
SureClose is, why we think it's so great, and how it's going to improve the
service you give to your customers.
SureClose
by John
Howe, President
What is SureClose you may ask?
SureClose is the finest online transaction management system in the area
today, developed by Benchmark Title Company to assist you in providing your
customer the best possible service. The management at Benchmark
searched a long time (nearly two years) to find just the right application
that would do all we wanted it to do, so that with our help you can take
exceptional care of your customers.
We found all that in SureClose.
You want to get your order information as soon as the order is placed with
Benchmark? With SureClose you receive instant email notifications as
soon as the file has been entered into our system. You want your
title commitment as soon as it's completed, no waiting by the fax
machine or for the mail to arrive? It's in SureClose. You want
copies of all documents affecting title? SureClose. You want the
HUD and relevant figures as soon as they are ready? SureClose.
"SureClose has been amazing, the ability to log into my computer and
pull any and all documents from files I am currently working on and files
from the past has made my job run much smoother," say Jeff Burgner, Loan
Officer with First County Bank.
As to commercial transactions, L. Kevin Vick of Greensfelder, Hemker
& Gale, P.C. says "SureClose is designed to furnish all title
documentation including 'Schedule B' recorded title exception documents,
legal descriptions, title insurance commitments, etc., for review and
retrieval online in a cost effective manner. SureClose provides a
simple and efficient format which expedites the title review process allowing
Greensfelder, Hemker & Gale, P.C., to better serve its clients."
If you want to better serve your clients, it only takes a phone call or email
to April Tolan, SureClose Specialist at
Benchmark Title Company to get the process started. Within minutes you
will be ready to log on and retrieve and review documents from your
transaction. All you need is a computer and access to the internet.
Best of all, there is no charge to you or your clients.
