I will admit that I can be a very tough customer to please but I only expect the same kind of service that I provide to my clients. In this very crazy mortgage industry it seems that service for many companies has become a lost art. I have worked with several title companies over the past eight years and the level of service always seems to fluctuate between good and bad. I know you can never expect every closing to be perfect but when things go bad is when you get to see a company's true colors. Let's just say that most every time an issue has reared it's ugly head I have found out that I am just a number to these title companies.
About a year and a half ago one of my loan officers had mentioned that a title rep she had worked with in the past had moved to a new company and that I should give them a try. I told her I was happy with my current title company but I would keep them in mind. Low and behold a few days later I have a file that is funding and I get a call from my client. Mrs. Client was supposed to pickup a check but cannot seem to get a hold of the title company. She decided to take a drive over and the office is closed. I start making calls to find out what the heck has happened. After several calls I get someone who says that they just closed the office my client was supposed to pickup her check at. After a couple of more calls I am told that my client's check will be mailed in a couple of days and they will not overnight the check.
Wow talk about great service!!
Enter Acquest Title Services and my account rep Denise Friel...
I decide maybe it is time to give Acquest a try. I call to find out what their pricing is like and they are competitive with the other title companies in the area. I speak with our account rep and she tells me what I want to hear, "we have great service, just give us a try." Well I decide to place an order and am shocked at how quickly I get the order. Okay so far so good. I order a closing protection letter and some changes to the title which I receive back in about 30 minutes. Finally I call to schedule a closing for the next day because I have a lock that is going to expire and there are no issues even when I need the closer to go to the client's home for the closing after 7pm. Well time moves along and everything continues moving like a well oiled machine. A couple of minor issues have come up but they have been taken care of professionally and with an apology. No matter how many orders I place I am always treated like Acquest Title's most important customer.
I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone at Acquest Title for a great year and a half. If i listed specific names I am sure I would miss someone. I really appreciate everything that you have done to take care of me and my loan officers in these trying times.
