Are you plagued by millions of pesky-Realtor, Buyer and Attorney phone calls?

“What’s happening with the Smith loan?”

“Have you ordered the survey yet?”

“Has the Appraisal come in?”

Does it ever seem like they all call you every single day about every single loan?

Everyone wants and needs to be kept fully informed but it takes time to do that - and sometimes you don’t have the time. And even if you have extra time, shouldn’t that be devoted to doing more business?

Let me suggest that you immediately implement written status report. I’ve been teaching this technique to Loan Officers for several years and I frequently get thank-you calls from all over the country about this simple idea. Because it works!!!

Directions:

1. Across the top of a sheet of paper reference all the people involved with the process who need-to-know. Names, addresses, phone and FAX numbers.
2. Down the left side of the paper list all the items that need to be monitored. Examples: VOE’s, VOD’s survey, appraisal, credit report - “sent out” and “came back” for each. Also any things the buyer promised to deliver that is “public information.”
3. Make a column from top to bottom for each week between now and closing.
4. Once a week you or your processor check off what is going on & fax. Example: Week 1: VOE, VOD and credit report sent out. Just make a check mark beside each of those three items. Fax that report off to all pertinent parties in the transaction. Week 2: Check off what was sent out or ordered and what came back. Fax.

Every week, just a few check marks and a few faxes and every one knows exactly what is going on. Very simple and it will save you and everyone else in the transaction a lot of aggravation.

Honest, we Realtors don’t call and pester you because we’re lonely. We just want to know what’s going on!

PS: Please get your legal department to take a look at the form you create and get any official Okey Dokeys you need to protect yourself!
