We
contacted Bill Hufford of Iowa Loan Closing Services Inc. to get his
opinion on what "Going above and beyond" meant to his company. Go to http://www.iowaloanclosings.com/
and see for yourself. Bill Hufford offers statewide closings. With the
great response Bill has received for his work in Iowa, he will be
expanding his services to surrounding states to include but not limited
to Minnesota, Wisconsin and Nebraska. Bill is looking to eventually
offer these services with the same quality and confidence that he has
offered through ILCS nationwide.

Benefits of a Marketing Plan |
|
Written by Hazzaa Kassis
|
|
Goal Setting: Your
marketing plan allows you to set goals and benchmarks. You want to feel
confident that you have your plan in order; you know where you are
headed and how you are getting there. Take the example of a signing.
You get a call to go to a signing, but have no idea where the street
address is. You do a search on your favorite map online and find your
destination. Get in your car and off you go to do your signing. (You
searched, you conquered, You Signed). Now let's put this in context of
the over all picture of your company. Set goals and deadlines for those
goals and follow them through. If, each month, you meet your goals, in
marketing, income and growth, your year end goals will have been met.
If, one month, you don't meet those goals you have the following month
to make up the difference and catch up. If you do this each and every
month, at the end of the year you will have met your mark.

Precedent Setting Notary Passes |
|
Written by William Ponsot
|
|
The Maryland man whose quest to become a notary public turned into a
Supreme Court case died on June 9, 2007, 46 years after the court
validated his refusal to take a state oath requiring him to declare a
belief in God. Roy Torcaso, an avowed atheist, worked for a Bethesda,
Md. construction company as a bookkeeper in 1959. His boss asked him to become a notary public.Torcaso’s legal
battles began when he refused to swear to a state oath before
Montgomery County Circuit Court Clerk Clayton Watkins professing the
existence of God. The state disqualified him and barred his notary
commission. At the time, Torcaso said the issue was not whether he
believed in a Supreme Being but "whether the state has a right to
inquire into my beliefs." The Maryland courts upheld the state
constitution on the basis that Torcaso had not been forced to become a
notary public.

Suit claims notary duping customers |

ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE
Posted on Tuesday, August 21, 2007
The Arkansas attorney general’s
office has accused a Springdale notary public of misleading Hispanic customers
into thinking she is a lawyer. Deputy Attorney General Jim DePriest filed a
lawsuit Friday against Victoria Nimroozi, who owns Latin Community Services and
operates under the name Vicky Carreon. Nimroozi is accused of violating a part
of the Consumer Protection Act requiring “notarios” to advertise in writing in
Spanish and English that they aren’t licensed attorneys.
The scheme plays on the misconception
that a “notario publico” is a specially trained lawyer, which is true in many
Latin American countries.
The suit in Washington County
Circuit Court seeks an injunction to make Nimroozi follow the disclosure law.
It may seek restitution if it is learned that Nimroozi charged fees for legal
advice.
She has been in business at 1221 S.
Thompson St. for about two years, DePriest said.
Anyone with information can call
attorney general investigator Mariel Henderson at (501 ) 683-3130.

So
many questions about fees and so many variables involved. Do you live
in a saturated area? Do you live in a rural area? How long does it take
you to commute through a large city to get to a signing? If your
commute through a large city to go 10 miles takes you an hour then you
will want to charge according to your time not the miles. Time of day:
Are you traveling in rush hour traffic such as at 5:30 when everyone is
getting off work? These are all variables that have to be considered as
well as the mpg your auto gets and if you have to hire a babysitter
while you are away at a signing.

First and
foremost – a loan officer holds a position that squeezes them in the
middle, right from the beginning. They function as sales
representatives for the mortgage broker, banker or lender – AND they
are the primary liaison directly communicating with the borrower.
Essentially they have a boss on either end, and both ends are
pressuring them towards the middle. As sales people, they are
generally paid by commission (which may or may not include a draw or
salary, but even when present it isn’t often much). Their livelihood
is then every bit at precarious as our own – and while those
commissions might cause many of the other players to feel some envy,
the VAST majority of L.O.’s are not closing as many loans as you might
assume. They are also not closing all the loans they work on – and on
those, there is no commission.
