Deeds take too long to process

[Jack Bobeck]

BP'ers,

Greetings, I have an issue, my clients are buying REO properties from banks, and the banks' title folks are terrible at the speed with which they process work. Some have e-processing, great, but most are still sending a deed to the county clerk for processing. No one knows a status and we have no way to check on it. Paper!

I know we can take the same paper, walk it in to our clerk here in Duval county, for same day processing, they will process the deed while I wait. Catch is I have to have the deed.

So how do I get the deed from the bank, once funded, so that I can then close the deed at our clerk's office the same day I receive it from the bank? Any lingo to use, anything working for anyone else? I could really use some help from others on how to get these deeds processed faster from the bank's title agents.

Thanks,

Jack
