Increase Market Exposure and Lower your Costs In today’s market place we’re watching our expenses and bottom line. At the same time we must maintain service and reliability. It is possible to increase your business through marketing, save money and make sure your customers are happy! First, let’s lower your costs. You, or your customer, incur significant transaction costs, especially at the closing table, for title and closing fees. Most title companies base their pricing on volume. Given the average investor probably doesn’t purchase or sell more than 5 to 10 properties a month, it’s likely that some of your vendors regard you unfairly as insignificant. Your DREIA board has put together a pricing package with First American’s North Miami Beach office. This package is extremely competitive and rivals just about any independent title company. Further, First American Title does not charge any Doc Prep fees for closing documents. They provide full Title and Escrow/Closing services and this is available to every DREIA member who uses the North Miami Beach office. On top of that, they can manage every title and closing order for the state of Florida. That means you can close your transaction at any of our convenient locations in Dade County… or anywhere in the state of Florida! Your pricing does not and will not change. As an active and mobile entrepreneur, you have specific needs. Along with the set title fees for DREIA members, your board has also arranged with First American to provide you with the Agent First transaction management system. This system is web based and can manage all of your properties. So now you can access your property database anywhere that you have an internet connection. This system is also designed to be a document repository, meaning that you can store all of your specific file related documents on First American’s server. If you don’t have a scanner, you can print a special fax cover page and fax in your document. I have tested this personally and the document is assigned to the file within a few minutes. Also, this system was designed to be a platform for ordering your title services. It’s very simple to order title and closing services on Agent First. Once you have an account, it is immediately set up to place orders with the North Miami Beach office in order to take advantage of your pricing. Once you place an order, First American will stay in constant communication with you regarding your order. You will receive regular e-mail updates and will also have service specifically dedicated to you the DREIA member. On top of title, you can also set up the system to order surveys, inspections, etc. You only need to be a DREIA member in good standing and ask to be set up with the system. How do we broaden your exposure? Agent First also has access to comparables, maps, neighborhood information and property profiles. All of this is imbedded within the system.This can have an immediate impact on lowering your bottom line and at the same time provide a necessary shopping & validation tool for you. And when you are trying market your properties out to the public, you have the ability to create a farming list for mailings and other marketing related tasks. Create a list of your ideal demographic and capture your desired business. All of this can be done via Agent First. How do you take advantage
of such benefits? Or you may contact Carl Tune at (305) 807-5125 directly. Just make sure you tell them that you are a member of DREIA. Or as stated previously, you may place the order online through Agent First and we will be in contact with you to confirm your order provide updates. To get set up with an account for Agent First, you only need to contact your DREIA office at (305) 948-3378 and tell them you would like to be set up with Agent First. It’s as simple as that. This feature is supported by DREIA as a group ordering First American Title service. It is a benefit specifically for you. Taking advantage of it will certainly have a positive impact on your business.
