GREATER ILLINOIS TITLE COMPANY
DRIVE UP Closings
Greater Illinois Title Company is working to provide safe and convenient options to help our clients. We are currently offering two options for Drive Up closings.
BOTH OPTIONS DESCRIBED BELOW WILL REQUIRE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Schedule A Closing APPOINTMENT
2. Obtain APPROVED HEALTH FORM
For anyone who may enter our offices or who will be involved in a Drive Up closing, GIT will send out and obtain a simple health screening form and ask that it be filled out and sent back to the local GIT closing office for review and approval prior to the closing.
CLOSINGS:
DRIVE UP Purchase CLOSINGS:
Refinance Closings:
We are recommending the following in order of preference for refinance closings:
Drive Up Closing at a Borrower’S HOME
REMOTE ONLINE NOTARIZATION (ron)
If you have any questions, please contact your GIT Account Executive at any time.
We’re all in this together. Be Safe and Stay Healthy!
Greater Illinois Title Company
During these uncertain times we are striving to provide all necessary title and escrow services to our clients while still protecting the health and safety of our employees and office visitors. In order to exercise an abundance of caution, and limit our person to person contact, during the COVID-19/Coronavirus pandemic we are implementing the following procedures at the GIT Group of Companies. Thank you for your understanding during these unprecedented times.
Note: We are requesting that only those persons that need to sign documents be present at the closings. Additionally, all attendees will be asked to complete a Health Screening Form.
Cash Transactions
Cash transactions may be closed electronically via e-mail and/or DocuSign, upon request. The staff at GIT are well trained in closing transactions using these methods.
Recommendations to assist in this process:
Lender- Seller Instructions
Lender funded sale side transaction.
The process below eliminates the need for the Seller and Seller’s Representation to attend the closing in person.
Lender- Buyer Instructions
Lender funded buy side transaction.
We understand the need for flexibility during these times, and we will be able to accommodate clients in our offices, or via a “drive through” signing whereby only documents that need a ‘wet ink” signature will be presented to the borrowers with proper government issued ID. This is all part of GITGC’s striving to implement “No Contact Closings”. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this extraordinary time.
If you have further questions or need assistance with anything, please reach out to us!
The GIT Group of Companies recognize this unsettling time with the COVID-19/Coronavirus situation rapidly evolving across the country. We are closely monitoring developments related to the spread of the virus. Our priority remains the safety of employees and customers that visit our offices.
The GIT Group of Companies has in place a Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Plan which is currently in effect. This proactive plan puts into place preventative measures to minimize contact and potential exposure to COVI D – 19 and having some GIT Team members work remotely to minimize exposure risk. We are implementing extra measures to minimize the spread of bacteria in our offices. We have increased the frequency to a daily disinfecting of workspaces as well as closing tables, counters, chairs, coffee bar areas, handles, desks and other items.
The Coronavirus Response Plan is being implemented in conjunction with our Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plan. This includes deploying certain staff to work remotely under secure conditions. Employees working remotely are supplied with corporately provisioned secure devices to work from home. Remote access protocol is followed and cleared by the GIT IT staff. GIT has eighteen branch offices in the Chicago Metro area and five offices in Northwest Indiana which are able to accommodate closings should the situation arise in which one or more of our locations would be impacted by any coronavirus matter.
The GIT Group of Companies have robust SOC2 Certified Business Continuity Plans in place to ensure that all of our operations will continue to run efficiently and effectively. These plans are tested regularly and enhanced to ensure seamless operational functionality.
We are now in the process of implementing and executing our Business Continuity Plan by primarily focusing on having certain employees work remotely while still being able to provide full and seamless operational capabilities. We will await further guidance and directives from government agencies and the CDC. We are committed to communicating to staff, customers, clients and the general public as more information becomes available.
We will continue to evaluate the COVID-19 situation. Our thoughts go out to anyone who may be affected by the coronavirus. We are here to help, remain fully operational and will take every necessary step to continue to provide the services that you rely on with a minimum level of disruption as events unfold.
Should anyone have any questions please feel free to reach out at any time.
Thank you for your continued trust in the GIT Group of Companies. Stay healthy.
