General Information About Our Services
We also have a Monthly fee for General Oversight of Collateral Documents / Custodian Liaison which basically is a function of managing all Collateral documents & to ensure that missing Notes, endorsements, assignments, mortgages, bailee letters, collateral files, etc. are located & returned from the attornies after foreclosure actions are completed. Also, obtain and review the custodian exception reports on a monthly basis & provide a report to the client. Includes research, interaction with servicers, attorneys, vendors, etc. This fee would also include a review of all assignments & endorsements to ensure they were prepared in the proper format & entity name.
In addition, we have a Monthly fee for Servicer Surveillance, which would cover all oversight of the sub servicer, including approval of short sales, modifications, repayment plans, foreclosure bidding instructions, REO list prices, accepting REO offers, settlements, etc.
Any required travel expenses would of course be reimbursed on all of the above as necessary, and as previously requested/approved by the Client, including the above hourly rates for travel time, but will be in addition to the established and agreed upon monthly fee.
Typically, the monthly fees would be similar to a Retainer and would be pre-determined based on the number of hours anticipated to be allocated to such oversight, usually a fixed $$ amount per month, with an average of 40-80 hours a month, or more, at the Client’s discretion, based on the agreed hourly rate.
One of the more attractive benefits of using our firm is that you don’t have to worry about an employee being on vacation or out sick, paying benefits, or a bonus. We are always available, and will always fulfill your needs, and travel when needed. That’s usually one of the more challenging situations to deal with, as employees tend to not always be “available” or “able” to have that flexibility.
