The
loan signing is often the only time the borrower
will have face-to-face interaction during the
refinance process. All your hard work
and excellent service can be undone when the
signing does not go smoothly. With some
notary signings, forget about a referral, you
just hope the loan will close!
Not with Superior Closing Services. With
our managed signing process your loan will
close and fund. We
guarantee it! Our experienced
in-house closing specialists will:
- Contact the borrowers to schedule the
signing for a time and place convenient
for them.
- Arrange for one of our licensed signing
agents to attend the signing.
- Coordinate the delivery of the documents
with the lender's closing department.
- Ensure that the HUD-1 is completed immediately
by Superior and sent to the lender's closing
department and the loan officer for
approval.
- Ensure that the signing agent has the documents
and is on time for the signing and, if he
will be late, contacts the borrower and the
loan officer.
- Once the documents and HUD are finalized,
contact the borrower
to pre-close the
loan, including a discussion of the following
items:

broken down to include
principal & interest,
taxes and insurance.

including that the borrower will have
a month off from payments when applicable.

of the logistics of the delivery of the
borrower's funds.

officer and the lender's closing department
to inform them of any adjustments that need
to be made.
- Follow up with the borrower immediately
after the signing is complete to answer any
questions or address any issues.
