When you’re purchasing a home, it can be an exciting process. However, there are many things to look out for during the process, such as liens or hidden debt on the property you are planning to purchase. Here is where a municipal lien search comes into play, and why you need one.

Isn't it crazy how one statement can disrupt an entire industry?

Well that is what the DFS did to the title industry over the last week and a half. On February 6th the DFS posted their original statement regarding "3rd Party Fees". On February 13th they removed their statement and reissued a new one on February 14th. 

This new information sent our competition into a flurry, with only one mode of payment available what were they going to do? 

If you did not know Elite has been accepting credit payments since 2015. In 2017 we added a portal on our website that allows your clients to pay for their searches directly! The best part? Currently there are no additional fees to utilize this service for you or your clients! 

How is it done? 

1. Provide your client with the invoice # and amount due
2. Have them head over to http://www.elitepropertyresearch.com/payments 
3. They fill out the payment information and press 'submit'

And they're done. No need for a webinar to explain the process, it's really that simple! 

We don't mean to brag or anything BUT social media... well, it's kind of our thing. There are so many tips and tricks we have learned throughout the years that help us reach more customers, and encourage interaction.

One of our Elite traditions for the past several years was a baseball game for the staff and their families. We are one big family here at Elite so we always enjoy getting our families together outside of work. Since we have DOUBLED in size, we decided to change it up this year and do a Summer Pool Party.

We recently spent some time perfecting our cover sheet by adding more detailed property specific information. Check out the video below for all the details! 

The new cover page will go live on Monday, June 4th. Thank you everyone for all of your suggestions and continuous support!

YOU ROCK!
