"Fidelity's bank escalation process is yet another in a long line of helpful tools that our title partner offers us. A quick phone call puts our transaction in front of the right people to push the process forward. It helps reduce our clients' stress levels and allows us to close sales more quickly."

After 6 long months of going back and forth and finally 2 months of waiting for a final approval, promised "within the week" for 7 weeks with US BANK. It took 1 email to Fidelity and within 72 hours we had final approval and the home closed 10 days after that. They were a life saver and it is my hope to send all Shortsale and otherwise, their direction.

Fidelity National Title in Arizona is best title partner I have had in over 40 years. Their "Partnership" attitude has provided me with multiple revenue streams that would have gone unknown to me, over the past several years. Without any doubt and in the strongest terms, let me state emphatically, they are the most valuable and progressive "Business Partner" I have. An added bonus is that they are just nice people too and I also consider them valued friends.

Each year I look at my business for the X factor. In my business Fidelity National Title is that X factor. They bring valuable training, resources, and opportunities that help me grow my business. The introduction to Wachovia/Wells alone has brought an additional 70 deals to my business. Their partnership has been a huge part of our success"

Fidelity National Title has been one of our strongest industry partners and advocates. This relationship has solidified our brands throughout Arizona and beyond, and helped CDPE become the fastest-growing independent designation in real estate industry history."

Thanks to everyone at Fidelity working to connect the banks with the real estate community. Cameron Maye's attitiude is amazing. He wants us to tell him where we run into problems working with the bank, he requested that we give him real examples and then he committed to take these examples and concerns back to the other senior executives and decision making committees at the bank to further improve the system and relationship. This speaks to the hard work of the Fidelity team developing relationships between the realtor and bank community. Thank You!

Sharon Terhune put me in touch with Fidelity's SVP- Steve de Laveaga, who made ONE CALL to the Head of Loss Mitigation for Chase and my deal was closed in less than 10 business days"I had a short sale I was working on for 4 months with Chase. We were continually being told that the approval letter was on it's way and the buyer was getting very antsy. Fidelity Title put me in contact with a short sale escalator from Chase who got in touch with our negotiator and helped get us the formal approval letter within a week. The contacts Fidelity Title has with banks is phenomenal and has helped get many of my short sales approved faster and successfully close.

Having an agent that is local and on the ground is a huge benefit to my business. There are a few reasons that stand out for me. 1. When there is a decision maker in my local market I know that; that person understands the local market, economy, neighborhoods, and state laws regarding real estate transactions. I constantly have to educate negotiators or loss mitigators in other states on how AZ works, so that my clients get a fair approval letter. It is frustrating to have to constantly explain this. A local rep helps with this. 2. Having a local rep gives me the opportunity to build a solid relationship with one person or a few people that not only can I rely on them, but they can rely on me too. We can build a relationship based on trust and solid work ethic to benefit the seller, the bank, and ourselves. Working with countless random people who don't really care about me, the seller or the short sale file is an outdated way to work through the inventory on hand, and it doesn't promote an " all hands on deck" attitude on every deal. If all parties are not going to perform at the highest level on every deal then it can be a huge waste of time. An unknown CS rep on the other side of the continental US doesn't promote this kind of work atmosphere. 3. Having a rep on the ground is also beneficial when there is a problem that needs to be addressed quickly and accurately. Out of State Reps typically can't help a whole lot, and it makes for at least twice the work / effort than should have to be applied in many cases.

I could probably go on but these would be the big three.

The relationship has developed real estate agents into customers we (FNHW) did not have. The strength of FNF is strong being it is a fortune 500 company (FNF NYSE). We are pleased to be a "sister" company to FNTG. The real estate industry is a moving target and Fidelity Title in Maricopa county has a handle on the market in these tumultuous times. They have gathered accurate data regarding the industry and have shared their knowledge with us. This has enabled us to provide value to our customers, the real estate agent! The sales staff lead by Steve De Laveaga is exemplary. FNT has been a partner we value and I hope to continue to build on our strong relationship.

I just secured my first listing appointment! That is excellent, thank you again.

Email sent to AZ Republic: I think it is freaking brilliant – please pass along to Melissa that she is brilliant.  We have received a couple leads and are doing what we can to work them.  They don’t have phone numbers so we are sending email campaigns.  Thank you so very much.

I think this is a great program you are doing and I believe this will turn into a few listings. May be getting a listing from one of these leads at the end of the month, plus they need to buy on top of that.

I have to say Thank You!! While the I didn't take a listing now, I made some great contacts and do expect a several of listings to come from this in the future.  I appreciate the "at bats" that you give us.

You guys are the cutting edge. I am so happy to be partnering with you. Thank you!
