****Ask Me About Our Lead Program**** Ask Me About Fronting Appraisal Fees Until Closing****
Are you tired of being paid a fraction of what your vendor management clients make on the appraisal orders that you fulfill for them? How has HVCC been affecting you and your ability to earn money for your effort in your businesses?
TruClose Financial Services, LLC is a vendor management company founded upon ethics, integrity and respect for all of our mutual customers and business partners. We recently have been approved with over 100 lenders as a vendor management company and need to increase our appraiser network in all 50 states.
On a national average, TruClose generally pays appraisers $310.00 oer order. The actual payment number obviously fluctuates with the area of the appraised property and complexity of the report. We've heard stories of appraisers being paid as low as $150.00 per order. We truly pay appraisers what they ask for or what the market rate in the area is, and we do not charge much of a markup. Generally, our appraiser fees to clients do not exceed $450.00 for FHA, and $375 FNMA-1004.
Please come and work with the best! We are only as good as our vendors and look forward to you joining our team!

I just wanted to give you an update that our TruClose for Tots program has reached new heights. From November 1/2008 to 12/20/2008, we are purchasing one toy of at least $30.00 in value for every settlement completed, and donating to Toys for Tots. We've purchased a variety of toys from trucks, dolls, spaceships, scooters, remote controlled cars, etc. I feel like a kid again and want to tear open the boxes :o). As of today, we are up to making 134 less fortunate childrens' Holidays special!!!!
In addition, TruClose has raised over $3,000.00 for the homeless for winter coats and food to help local shelters.
We are always active in charity and encourage you to be as well. Should anyone know of any charities that can use greater support that are truly humane, we'd love to hear about them.
OK folks!!! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to update these (my last post was week 2). I have updated my top 10 teams. Please chime in ;o).
1 ) NY Giants: Their rushing attack is tough to stop and Eli Manning is proving to be a good NFL QB. He was Super Bowl MVP! The Plax saga is nothing to this team.
2 ) Pittsburgh Steelers: I know, where are the Titans, right? Well, when the Steelers Defense faces an average at best Tennessee Titans offense, we'll see how lopsided this game truly is. With the most difficult NFL schedule since 1978, this defense has to be mentioned with some of the best defenses of all time. They lead every major statistical category in defense in the 14th week of a season, and haven't allowed 300 total yards in a game all year. Total yards, rushing + passing!
3 ) Tennessee Titans: Let's face it, they have a great defense. Prove to me that they can win over the league's best teams that completely stack the line against their Rushing Attack, and making Kerry Collins throwing the ball their only weapon. Then, I'll be a believer.
5 ) Indianapolis Colts: Winners of 5 in a row and they are getting healthier. Nobody in the AFC wants to play this team in the playoffs.
6 ) Tampa Bay Bucs: Jeff Garcia has plenty of experience, and playoff experience. This team has a sound defense but has questions on offense with injuries.
7 ) Dallas Cowboys: Tony Romo is good. So good in fact for a minimum number of passes, he is the highest rated QB in NFL History. They also are getting healthy and TO still is a beast and lives up to his remarks.
8 ) NY Jets: How do they get blown out at home the way they did?
9 ) Atlanta Falcons: Who in the NFC wants a shot at Matt Ryan and Michael Turner in the playoffs?
10 ) Baltimore Ravens: We all know their forumla of football by now. Smashmouth, hard nose, trash-talking defense. Well, that D didn't hold up against the G-Men but they do have a guy by the name of Joe Flacco throwing the ball.
We are in the middle of a current expansion. If anyone may know of someone interested in allowing their title insurance businesses to be purchased, please be in contact. We hope that we can help many agencies and individuals out of their current financial situations. It is incredibly hard to compete with a real estate market such as this one, and compete in financial turmoil with the overhead that title companies produce. Many individuals and agencies are looking for a suitable way out. We hope that we may be able to provide one for them.

Are you a small business owner or employee of a small business? If so, have you taken the time to see how the upcoming election could affect you and your family if you are a part of a small business? Small business owners and their employees need to band together.
Many of America's largest corporations have taken their job's offshore for either less payroll or large tax breaks. This now makes employees of categorized small businesses the most employed in the USA. Under Barack Obama's tax plans, the temptation for more companies to move offshore will be vast. Please take one moment out of your day to view JohnMcCain.com and see how well respected he is, and how much he has sacrificed for his Country. There is absolutely no question who the stronger candidate for small businesses is, and who is the leader in free trade, economic development and the housing market, heathcare, foreign policy, and which candidate will keep jobs in America while working at creating jobs for American citizens.
Many of you work in real estate and or mortgages. John McCain's 300 Billion buyout of bad mortgages will increase the housing market's home values as less homes will be rundown, and abandoned. Many bank owned properties now can't be managed as banks have lost the ability of surplus cash to pay for upkeep lowering the abandoned home value and comparable value of homes in the same neighborhood. We need change, and fast.
Barack Obama is a wonderful, charismatic speaker and is a very capable candidate, and he most likley would be an excellent president however, not for small businesses. His comments on America's top issues are just that, comments. No real questions have been answered, especially for small business owners and their taxes and healthcare. Alarmingly, in a recent poll, 83% of America's CEO's called his being elected, "Devastating". Even more troubling; in her primary against Obama, Hillary Clinton unvailed her economic "bailout" plan in which Obama condemned. He is now supporting this same plan for America's future. Where does he truly stand? If you are a small business owner or an employee of a small business, do what is best for you and vote McCain / Palin in 2008! Can you and your family afford not to?
Thank you for your time!

Another Charity Announcement from TruClose Financial Services.
Dear ActiveRainers,
With the holiday season fast approaching, we are delighted to announce our holiday charity program once again named "TruClose for Tots". Last year, TruClose was able to make nearly 100 childrens' holidays special.
Each year, TruClose donates a portion of it's revenue earned between 10/15-12/23 to charity. This year, we will be partnering with Toys for Tots as well as are looking for a charity to support that fights hunger and/or homelessness, especially in the cold winter months.
This year, we're doing something extra special! Instead of donating for toys monetarily, we will be personally purchasing a gift for less fortunate children ranging from 3 years of age to 12 years of age for each loan that we close! That's right! We feel that in this aspect, we can reach far more children who deserve to have a warm holiday season like the rest of us.
As far as the homeless charity effort, we will be donating a portion of revenue however, we do not have a charity lined up as of yet. If anyone reading this blog has any ideas or knows of any charities where these dollars will be best spent, could you kindly let me know?
Just think that as bad as our industry may be, it is nowhere near as trying as the lives and challenges of the less fortunate everyday.
