SoundBiteBlog’s New Toy!

March 29th, 2007 by Mark Flanders

Buckwheat and Sparky (aka – Mark and Rich) have added a new tool to SoundBiteBlog for our Clients. This tool is an online Real Estate Transaction Tracking System that provides our clients with 24 hour access to updated information about each individual transaction.

Transaction Tracker screenshotThe Transaction Tracker is accessible by the Realtor, Loan Officer and the client. It is a password protected system to maintain the client’s privacy and it is viewable from any computer in the world that has an Internet connection. The Tracker System will itemize every step of our clients’ Real Estate Transaction from Loan Application to Funding. There is an area for the Realtor and the Loan Officer to leave notes and comments for each client.

There is also a “Recommended Reading” section with articles specifically chosen to match the type of transaction each client is involved in. If the transaction is for a First Time Homebuyer, the articles are specific to a First Time Homebuyers’ most common questions. If the transaction involves a rehab loan, the articles are tailored for that type of transaction. The same applies to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Transactions, Bridge Loan Transactions, Reverse Mortgage Transactions, etc.

One of the most common complaints clients voice is not having instant access to their Realtor and Loan Officer. While a phone call from the client’s representative is the perfect solution, it is not always possible. The Tracker System is designed to eliminate the unknown. Our clients can log into the system at any time they choose for an up-to-the-minute report on the status of each transaction.

If you would like to see the Transaction Tracker at work click on this link. You can use a login of “guest” and a password of “guest” to see a dummy deal and how the Tracker System works.

Any Realtors that work with Mark and any Loan Officers that work with Rich are welcome to take advantage of the Transaction Tracking System. It is a great communications and organizational tool for everybody involved in a Real Estate Transaction.
