Use E-recording as a competitive advantage and to make efficient use of available technologies

Law firms and title companies need market strength to stay competitive and profitable. Strategies to differentiate service or reduce operating expenses are worth consideration, especially in this tough economy. With e-recording of public record documents you can differentiate your service levels, make efficient use of available technologies and reduce costs at the same time. E-recording can help you deliver better customer service to your real estate customers through streamlined post-closing processes and faster recording document delivery. With E-recording as the first step in your post-closing workflow, you can quickly record, issue the title policy, and promptly deliver important closing documents to your customers. File efficiencies supported by E-recording include: *Fewer costly file touches by your closing staff; *Lower courier, mail and delivery expenses; *Reduced copier, toner and paper costs; *Reduced gap exposure; *Less chance for document fraud; *No more hunting for the file when the recordings are returned; *No more piles of files waiting for policies to be typed; *No more delinquent policy demand letters from lenders; *No more recording checks sitting in closed files; *Recording, policy typing, and post-closing become one step; and *E-Recording helps you go green! E-Recording is not technology of the future. E-Recording is the standard for recording real estate documents in thousands of title offices around the country today. Law firms and title companies are finding significant benefits to e-recording and moving toward a more paperless work environment. E-Recording is available in counties across the country. You can improve your workflow, streamline costs, improve service and move toward a paperless closing environment all by embracing E-Recording. While researching e-recording vendors ask about service and customer support. Most e-recording vendors do not have staff in the field to offer one-on-one training and support. Look for user-friendly software that allows you to see your document as the clerk will see it before you submit it for recording. Your E-recording vendor should support workflow processes that are streamlined and simple. Make sure you select an E-recording vendor who understands your business needs. Your E-recording vendor must: *Offer priority client service and support; *Ensure accelerated recording in multiple counties from one site; *Offer ACH fee payment handling for easy accounting and tracking; and *Support many document types within their county footprint.
