Real Estate Closing Software Enhanced My Reputation

As a real estate professional, life has never been easy. A real estate transaction involves compliance with so many laws and regulations, state as well as federal and filing of forms and documents that one has to be very careful and specific about each transaction. With an increased workload and ever increasing number of clients, keeping track manually was becoming a difficult task. The only solution was to go in for real estate closing software and from the many confusing choices available from various sources I was able to zero in on one that to me seemed the right one, with the most comprehensive set of features. The way it worked for me I think a real estate professional must have been involved in its making.
The real estate software I chose does all that I had to take care of manually and these functions included:
  • Enter vital data at one point and populate all forms and documents simply at the click of a mouse. Corrections are just as simple and are reflected across all documents.
  • Preparation of HUD-1 form and HUD-1A form effortlessly in compliance with the new 2010 RESPA regulations
  • The HUD software has a facility to modify forms too according to amendments in laws or according to regulations in force in one state of the US .
  • Enable separate personnel to work on various parts of the real estate transaction and then compile all documents and forms in a central folder for review and printing
  • Submit forms online where possible
  • Email from within the software
  • Convert to Word or PDF document and print easily
  • Automatic calculation of property taxes according to State and Federal laws
  • Print out closing balance statements
  • Print Checks
  • Generate 1099-S forms
  • Summary Transaction sheet
  • Pre-closing documentation and post closing formalities
  • Compile and archive all documents post closing
  • The HUD-1 software has an efficient HUD settlement statement system, filling out all HUD forms automatically, updating databases.
  • Prepares general lender statement showing gross loan, amount disburses and deductions
  • The HUD software generates a GFE-HUD comparison sheet automatically
The real estate closing software integrates HUD software and delivers all the functions needed by property brokers and real estate lawyers as well as professionals like me. It does everything necessary; it does it fast and free of errors. Once finished, a transaction can be archived for storage and retrieval at any future date in case of audits. It can also be ported to my smartphone, enabling me to work while on the go. I complete transactions in record time and flawlessly too and am glad to say the real estate closing software enhanced my reputation no end. It did cost money but with the increased business I will easily recoup the cost and consider it more as an investment.
