February 15, 2019 | [Savannah Francis](https://blog.elitepropertyresearch.com/author/savannah-francis) ### **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](https://elitepropertyresearch.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f8e41b2c562ead63ff35d495b&id=524aa670b9&e=017c17cb3a) 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](https://elitepropertyresearch.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f8e41b2c562ead63ff35d495b&id=58af13466c&e=017c17cb3a)  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!    [![Let's Get Started](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2801205/dee27a3a-4e08-4f54-ad19-7f75879a2eb4.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2801205/dee27a3a-4e08-4f54-ad19-7f75879a2eb4) ![CCPayment](https://blog.elitepropertyresearch.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CCPayment.jpg?width=500&name=CCPayment.jpg) ### Have questions or want more details?  Give us a call 941.747.0600 or send our owner an email [Savannah@EPRFL.com](mailto:Savannah@EPRFL.com?subject=I've%20got%20questions)   *As always, thank you for your business! * **You Rock!** -
