BEST PRACTICES
We recognize loan officers and real estate agents referring business
to our offices are depending on us. We strive to preform as a member of
their team effort to build customers for life. The closing is the
crescendo of their efforts. To insure a great lasting impression, Mills &
Associates identifies potential challenges in advance of the closing.
1. Titles (and surveys if requested) are ordered upon receipt.
2. Titles and Surveys are reviewed by Title Attorneys upon receipt.
3. The title attorney immediately seeks resolution of any title or
survey problem.
4. fax copies of insurance and termite reports are requested for review
prior to closing.
5. Preliminary HUD-1s are prepared prior to closing and sent to all
parties.
6. executed sales contract. When executing the contracts, make an
extra copy to bring to closing.
7. Surveys. Most lenders no longer require a survey. If your
Purchaser wants a survey, make certain that you let the Closing
Attorney know well in advance of the closing date.
SMOOTH CLOSING CEREMONY
Mills & Associates will always strive to make certain that transactions
close smoothly and close on time.
TECHNOLOGY
We are committed to utilizing technology to best serve our clients.
• All computers in our offices are linked to a terminal server
allowing all files to be accessed from any computer in our office.
We have invested in cutting edge settlement systems.
• All files are imaged after closing and electronic copies can be
viewed and printed by authorized users from any computer in our
office.
FINISHING THE JOB
We recognize that a long-term relationship between loan officers, real
estate agents, and their clients requires that we complete our job after
closing. We recognize that our job does not end until all documents
are recorded, all documents are disbursed to the lender and all liens
and loans paid off at closing are released of record.
• File disbursement begins as soon as the loan closes.
• All documents are checked for proper execution.
• Prior to being sent to record, each recorded document is
reviewed by a Title Attorney.
• Payoffs are sent via overnight courier.
• Upon receipt from the recording office, recorded documents are
promptly copied and returned to the proper parties.
• Prior to closing any file, all satisfactions must be received. If
satisfactions are not returned, a search of the courthouse is
performed and files are closed out.

Our turn around time on all title orders is 2-3 business days. We try to
have everything completed and received by the appropriate parties within
this time period.
We handle transactions throughout metro Atlanta. Our main office is
located on Johnson Ferry Road in marietta. We are also are able to
