Killing Paperwork Madness

Maria Quattrone 0:00

No more paperwork manness when buying a house. Hi, I'm Maria Quattrone, Be the Solution Podcast and LPT Realty. And I have Mortgage Mom, Deanne Katsaros, here to unpack No More Paperwork Manness When Buying a House.

How The New System Works

Deanne Katsaros 0:20

Thank you, Maria. So excited to be on and to share this information. You and I both know when buying a house, that paperwork can just drive you insane. So buyers hate paperwork. So guess what? We fixed it. Right? They want fast, so we delivered. They also have to connect once. They get pre-approved fast and no stress. All right.

Maria Quattrone 0:42

So let's walk through this. I have a client. I referred you. They want to buy a house. How, how, how did what happens now?

Seven-Minute Pre-Approval Story

What Gets Verified Instantly

Deanne Katsaros 0:52

So basically, what happens is we will introduce ourselves, tell them how amazing we are, how long we've been in business, a little bit about the company, but we also find out what their goals are, what their strategies are. And if they don't have any, you and I work together to help them develop one. But when it comes to getting them pre-approved, we've eliminated them saying, I already sent that to you. Why do you need that? We have a system that allows them to go into our secured portal and log into their HR department or log into their bank statements. It's completely encrypted. The passwords are secure, and within minutes, we get all of their information as far as their hourly income, their salary. It's verification in minutes. Just to give you a quick idea, on Saturday last week, my son was away from his computer and a gentleman called and was completely stressed out. No one was returning his calls. He needed to get a pre-approval. So we told him to relax. We'll take care of him. We sent him a link. He went on, connected. Within seven minutes, he was able to get a fully blown pre-approval, put an offer in, and guess what? It got accepted.

Maria Quattrone 2:15

He got the house. All right. So let me break this down. So generally, when you're getting a pre-approved for a house, you need tax returns, you need pay stubs, you need uh your bank account statements. So what you're saying, what I hear you saying, D Ann, is that all that's eliminated. We're gonna click on this link with incorrect passwords, you're gonna connect, it's gonna connect to the whatever, however, you get paid, ADP or whatever it is. And now that is the verification of the income.

Deanne Katsaros 2:49

So yeah, we use a secured verification tool and we instantly verify the buyer's income, employments, and assets without chasing any documents. And the realtors love it because it's faster for your approvals, they're stronger, there's fewer closing delays, and it's less stress for your buyers. Once you ask, are you gonna scan or you want to meet in person? It becomes a whole thing and it delays the process.

Security, Speed, And Realtor Wins

Maria Quattrone 3:18

Well, this eliminates all of that. People don't want to have to go through all that madness, which you know has been a requirement for ever, it seems like ever. Yeah, forever. So this is a whole new system. This is fantastic. So easy breezy. You can have a pre-approval in less than 10 minutes.

Deanne Katsaros 3:39

Yeah, I mean, and from the buyer's perspective, it's a secured link. They log in um like to their bank or their payroll, and it's done in under one minute. No uploading PDFs, no waiting for uh HR to get back to them. It is so safe and so secure. It's at a bank level encryption, so login credentials are never stored, and it's so much safer than emailing their actual documents.
