Global DMS Launches ‘Global Delivery’ Solution to Automate Compliant Delivery of Hard Copy Appraisals to Borrowers

LANSDALE, Pa. -- Global DMS, a leading provider of web-based compliant valuation management software, announced that it has launched Global Delivery(TM), an alternative to the traditional way appraisal documents are prepared, packaged and compliantly provided to borrowers by way of printed appraisals sent via U.S. mail. The result is near removal of human involved tasks, operational disruption, a reduction of costs and a more efficient process for mailing appraisals.

"What Global Delivery accomplishes is applying the greatest level of automation possible to alleviate an elderly task of yesteryear," asserted Vladimir Bien-Aime, president and CEO of Global DMS. "There is still consumer demand in residential mortgage valuations to receive the fully packaged appraisal via the U.S. Postal Service, and of course, to receive it in full CFPB compliance. Global Delivery is a perfect blend of technology and service that automates the manual and cumbersome process of printing, folding and mailing appraisals to borrowers."

The CFPB issued its Disclosure and Delivery Requirements for Copies of Appraisals and Other Written Valuations under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (Regulation B) rule, sometimes called the ECOA Valuations Rule. The copies of valuations may be delivered to the borrower either on paper or electronically. Many solutions handle electronic delivery of appraisals; however, unlike Global Delivery, they have not sufficiently addressed the hard-copy delivery of appraisals or other valuations to the borrower via mail.

Global DMS says that having staff spend time on non-revenue producing activities like packaging and mailing documents is expensive and can be extremely disruptive. As an example, a staff member can easily spend over 22 hours a month just managing a meager 250 plus files per month, equating to about 14 percent of their time manually addressing the ECOA Regulation B requirement. The greater the loan volume the worse the problem becomes.

Global Delivery can process appraisal documents and merge a pre-programmed, lender-branded cover letter that then delivers the hard copy to the borrower's doorstep. Global Delivery automatically ships appraisals to lenders' borrowers with one simple click. There is zero printing, folding and stamps involved for the lender.

Using Global DMS' eTrac Enterprise platform, users simply click and are done. The mailing automatically goes out the next business day, with mailing verification permanently logged in eTrac. This ensures compliance with ECOA and provides the detailed logs in the event of an audit.

Key features of Global Delivery include:
- Fully automated appraisal delivery to borrower
- Customized cover letter with company logo
- Files are mailed within 24 hours
- Delivered documents are imaged and permanently stored
- API for easy integration with external systems
- Predictable costs.

Utilizing eTrac, Global Delivery can be 100 percent automated thus fully eliminating human intervention entirely. Global DMS' highly configurable workflow engine for appraisal reports can be automatically queued for delivery based on specific lender set parameters.

In addition to accompanying its eTrac platform, Global Delivery is also available as a stand-alone solution for users that already have an existing platform for appraisal fulfilment.

About Global DMS(R):

Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, Global DMS is a leading provider of commercial and residential real estate valuation solutions catering to lenders, servicers, AMCs, appraisers and other real estate entities. The company's solution set is cost effectively delivered on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) transactional basis that ensures compliance adherence, reduces costs, increases efficiencies and expedites the entire real estate appraisal process. The product line-up includes its eTrac(R) valuation management platform, eTrac Web Forms, Global Kinex, AVMs and data analytics products, BPO management platform, the MISMO Appraisal Review System (MARS), ATOM (Appraisal Tracking On Mobile) and AMCmatch.com.

Two Companies Are Answering the Demands of the Housing Market Shortage in Southern Oklahoma

DURANT, Okla. -- Green Oaks Development Corp. and Campbell Real Estate Group, two premier real estate development companies best known for their elegant custom-built residential projects and reputation for value and functionality, announced a recent partnership to develop a new master planned community, Pebble Brook Village, featuring 115 residential lots with minimum size of 1/2 acre per lot.

This partnership comes at an opportune time when quality and affordable housing has been scarce, making the demand for housing in and around the area very prevalent. Green Oaks Development Corporation and Campbell Real Estate Group, LCC have wasted no time in getting started on a unique village that will not only be open to everyone without age restriction, but will feature amenities such as a full-service club house, green belts, pocket parks and walking trails.

Pebble Brook Village will be developed in Calera, Oklahoma which is nestled approximately 2 miles east of Lake Texoma (one of the largest reservoirs in the U.S.) and popular for its variety of equestrian trails, stripper bass fishing, boating and other recreational activities found within Platter Flats campground. In addition to its close proximity to many tourist attractions, Pebble Brook Village is merely 5 miles from Choctaw Casino Resort which is well-known for its comfortable ambiance, exclusive gaming, fine dining, and luxury lodging.

The term "modern architecture" means many things to many people, but for those who choose to own a home within this new community, here's the full scope of what Green Oaks Development Corporation and Campbell Real Estate Group, LCC promise to deliver with Pebble Brook Village:

Affordability:

The group is offering high-end properties starting at $200,000 with a low property tax rate of only 1 percent, making this exclusive housing community a real bargain.

Lot Area:

All lots will have a minimum size of 1/2 acre and all houses to be built will be restricted to a minimum of 1,800 sq. ft.

Quality Craftsmanship-built Homes:

Pebble Brook Village homes are built to be move-in ready. The plans for each house are approved by an architectural committee prior to construction. Thus, compliance to building guidelines is ensured and strictly enforced. This master planned community of homes will also be custom-designed with modern architecture steeped in a traditional American style.

Prime Location:

Pebble Brook Village is strategically located near Durant, Oklahoma and just a few short miles away from Texoma Medical Center and Alliance Health, both of which have been lauded for their excellent standards in patient safety and quality.

The new housing community is also conveniently situated near downtown where art galleries, coffee shops, and bustling commercial centers abound.

Job growth:

Nearby job opportunities have also made this area a real value for homebuyers, and as more and more people move in, companies like Commercial Metals Company (CMC) have started to take notice and understand the importance of being near highly-skilled and experienced labor, making Pebble Brook Village a great destination for young professionals, families, and everyone in between.

More About Pebble Brook Village:

With only 110 lots available at $25,000 per lot, Pebble Brook Village is a residential project that can be considered a promising solution to the demands of the local housing market shortage while simultaneously delivering on high-end quality, exceptional service, and affordable pricing.
