As part of our Funds Request service, we request funds from the warehouse lender using an advance request process. Then, as part of our Pre-Funding Review service, we instruct the settlement agent after loan closing to send to us the Closing Disclosure and other primary loan documents, such as the promissory note and security instrument, along with the closing conditions shown on the Closing Instructions. Upon receipt of these documents, we review the Closing Disclosure and other primary documents for accuracy and proper execution. Finally, we issue funding authorization to the settlement agent to authorize funds disbursement. We also perform commercial loan document preparation services.

Before delivery, we archive an electronic image of the package in our secure Docs on Demand system, where it may be viewed, printed, and saved. Trailing documents are returned to our office for tracking, imaging, and forwarding to the appropriate investor. Finally, we coordinate the clearing of loan purchase suspense items that may arise from time to time.

RAV Attorneys on Demand Program

A Legal and Compliance Support Plan Tailored to Meet Your Needs

RAV is offering legal and compliance services tailored to fit your needs.  The mortgage industry is facing its biggest compliance challenges ever, along with much more aggressive enforcement of laws and regulations by federal and state agencies. It has become especially difficult to meet these challenges without having your own legal team dedicated to your needs. That is why RAV is offering affordable legal services to help you navigate the issues you face. By signing up for the unique RAV Attorneys on Demand program and paying an affordable annual retainer fee, you’ll receive access to RAV's team of experienced residential mortgage lending attorneys for all of your routine legal and compliance needs throughout the year.

What does RAV mean by routine legal and compliance needs? It means RAV will give you timely consultation and advice regarding the routine and day to day general legal and compliance issues that your Company may encounter. This includes legal questions, reviews and guidance on issues that arise in the day to day operation of your company. For issues and projects that require significant review and drafting, representing you before government agencies, or extensive staff training, the firm will advise you upfront and give you an estimate of the overall anticipated fees before work commences.

The RAV Attorneys on Demand program will also receive the benefit of webinar-based training sessions on timely legal and regulatory topics in which your employees may participate. Electronic versions of written training materials will be provided and questions submitted by email in advance and during the webinar sessions will be answered prior to completion of each webinar. Certificates of Participation will be issued, upon request, to all employees who attend a training session. Documenting the training of your employees is an important part of establishing your credibility with your investors, warehouse lenders, and the agencies that may audit your operations.  We understand courses required for licensing are mandatory, but our goal is to not only provide the answers but make recommendations about best practices with a focus on your size, your goals and specific issues related to your operations.

The specifics of the RAV Attorneys on Demand program are spelled out in detail in the form of a retainer agreement. That agreement provides a description of what services fall within and outside the scope of the program but RAV will be more than happy to answer any specific questions you have, now or during the term of the agreement.

In order to ensure RAV has adequate resources available at all times to meet your needs, RAV will be limiting the number of participants it enrolls. Secure your spot today by contacting Stephen Bertrand at sbertrand@ravdocs.com or 972-459-7286. Every good company should have RAV Attorneys on Demand.

Wealth of Experience

Our lawyers gained invaluable experience in foreclosure, bankruptcy, and eviction proceedings during the financial crisis of the late 1980’s when an unprecedented number of defaults occurred throughout the Sunbelt region.

We represent lenders and servicers of all sizes including some of the top servicers with multi-billion dollar loan portfolios.
