Construction Services
We offer construction escrow services for residential and commercial properties in Kankakee, Iroquois and Will counties.
This service includes disbursement payouts, and mechanic lien waiver examinations. Our construction escrow administrator can meet with you to explain the construction payout process.
As each construction draw is made, the administrator will be in contact with the borrower, lender, contractor, and sub-contractor(s) to expedite the process.
Construction payouts can be picked up at our Bourbonnais office or mailed via USPS.
Closing Services
Upon scheduling your closing, you are assigned a closer who will coordinate with all parties to streamline your closing experience.
We work closely with all local and nationally recognized lenders. Our technology allows us to receive closing documents electronically, giving our Closers the ability to print new documents when last minute changes are a necessity.
Lien Searches
Mostly used for second mortgages or home equity lines of credit, a lien search provides a brief report covering the current titleholders on a specific parcel of land.
Lien searches are inexpensive and uninsured reports that allow for quick turn around time.
