Our goal is to deliver an ALTA Best Practices Manual customized for your title agency and the way your agency operates, with minimal investment of time on your part. Best Practices Solutions offers different manual packages depending on the size of your title agency.
- Title Agency – Single Location – $1,795
- Title Agency – Multiple Locations – Please call to discuss special pricing.
ALTA Best Practices Manuals are not a “one size fits all” product. Since every title agency does things differently, we will need some basic information regarding the way your agency operates. After you hire Best Practices Solutions, we will schedule a short telephone interview with your company’s owner, manager, or other trusted staff member who is familiar with your agency’s administrative procedures relating to closings, escrow accounting, computer security, document security, etc. . . If your agency already has policies or procedures in place, we will incorporate them into your customized manual. No need to worry if you don’t already have all of these procedures in place, we are happy to provide sample policies which can be modified to reflect the way your agency operates. If your agency uses a logo, we are happy to incorporate it into your manual at no additional cost.
Once we have the necessary background information, we will prepare an ALTA Best Practices Manual customized for your title agency. Each customized manual includes the seven “Pillars of Best Practices” suggested by the American Land Title Association (ALTA), together with your agency’s specific policies and procedures to implement each “Pillar.” Most manuals end up being more than forty pages, including appendices and logs.
Once completed, your manual (including all appendices and logs) will be emailed to you in PDF format which can be easily shared with any lender requesting a copy of your manual. We will include instructions for use of the manual and a suggested schedule for periodic review and updates (both required by most lenders). The most frequently changed appendix will be sent to you in Microsoft Word format so you can keep it up-to-date and add or remove employees as your agency’s staffing changes over time.
