Settlement Services at Next Steps Title
Whether you want a title search, loan settlement, or both, we can assure you that our professional staff will see your loan processed immediately, and once closed, your documents returned without errors. Our notaries are licensed, trained professionals who not only understand your loan products through extensive training, but who are also trained to understand the borrower’s wants and needs as consumers. The Principals of Next Steps Title, who are real estate attorneys, are always available to the notaries to answer any questions your clients may have.
We accommodate our/your clients by conducting closings wherever and whenever it is convenient for them; whether it be in their home, at their place of business or at the lender’s office; daytime, evening or on the weekends. All security instruments and original documents required by the lender are reviewed with the clients so they feel comfortable with the product and understand the terms of their loan.
The closing is usually the only time the client has had one-on-one contact with a representative of the bank. We will guarantee you that your client will leave the closing with a lasting impression that the bank cared about them.
