Short Sale Tools

It’s your 5th iteration of the HUD and the short sale lender just requested another update to be made. How time consuming and frustrating is it to have to hang up with the lender to call your escrow officer back and ask for what is now your 6th version of the HUD. While you may have the best escrow officer in the market, it takes time to call the escrow officer, leave a message requesting a new HUD, wait for the new HUD to come back and then wait again to get the lender back on the phone to review it. Those of us that make a living doing short sales understand and feel this pain.

With Driggs Title Agency you have the ability to log into our system, scroll to the file you’re working on, and update the HUD. Our escrow officers will create the first HUD for you to insure proration’s, taxes, etc is correct. You have the ability after that and until we have an approved transaction to make updated HUD changes yourself. So picture this, you are on the phone with the lender, they ask for the commissions to be changed and for version 7 of the HUD to be created, instead of saying ok and starting the mundane process described above you simple say, “one minute while I have that change made” and before you hang up the phone you make the change and email the new HUD to the lender to get approval. What use to take time, phone calls, waiting for the new HUD and waiting to get the lender back on the phone can now be done in minutes with Driggs Title Agency. Call us today to a personalized user name and password for you and your short sale team.

Cell Phone App

Have you ever been out showing homes and had the buyer ask what it would cost if they bought that house for $30,000 more or $20,000 less. Or had a “walk in” or “call in” ask what they could expect to pay for Title Fee’s, Lender Fee’s, and what their monthly payment would be?

Driggs Title Agency has built an app that will run on any smart phone with browsing capabilities. The app asks for 2 pieces of information, the sales price and down payment. When that information is entered in the system will then link to your preferred lender, display what they are quoting for rates for that day with the APR and then display what the title fees, lender fees, and monthly payments are. Also if your buyer has not been prequalified it will allow you to enter in their monthly income, monthly expenses and return to you, on the same screen, what their debt-to-income ratio is and if they pre-qualify for that loan amount. For the first time ever there is an app that ties your lender, the title company, and you together on one screen. The process is simple, it takes less than 30 seconds to pull all that information and it’s available from your cell phone. It’s like having the loan officer, escrow officer, rate sheets, title fees, and payment calculator in your pocket. Click here to watch a 4 minute video on how this works.

Contract Support

A few years ago we had an agent tell us how tired they were with working with agents who have a day job and do real estate at night and on the weekends. The biggest complaint with this is that the other agent misses the critical dates on the contact that they are responsible for. Which places a burden on the career agent to follow-up and do the other agent’s job.

Of all attributes to describe Driggs Title Agency, we pride ourselves in the ability to “listen”. Instead of consoling an agent as they describe their woes we listen and work toward solutions to solve them. When Driggs Title Agency receives a contract, and inputs the order into the escrow production system a new screen comes up now that captures all the critical dates in the contract triggered off the “contact date” or the “close of escrow date”. Then every Sunday night the system runs a job and scrubs all the contracts and their critical dates and emails each agent involved in the transactions what is due that week. As a neutral 3rd party and as instruction takers, we keep the transaction moving along smoothly while notifying all parties involved of those critical dates.
