Meland Services Inc.

Company Policies

Since our typical turnaround time for the Tri-County area is 48-72 hours for a standard lot/block survey, we ask that closing agents wait until the last minute to order the file.

As a company that caters to the title industry we know that there are many things involved in the transaction that is out of the hands of the title agent. As we have a quick turnaround and consistent service level that excels in our industry we have a different approach. We know that not all transactions that are slated to close. Some deals do fall apart at the closing table, and some buyers don't get approved for the loans.

In these instances, where the title company fails to close a file for the individuals that we do work for, which is ordered by the title company, we have several remedies. If the file is a purchase/sale, we understand that deals fall apart, we ask that as soon as the title company is made aware that the deal has fallen apart that we are contacted. We also ask for the seller's phone # and the seller's agent's phone #. This enables us to keep the deal alive for when another buyer is found. In the case of a refinance, we ask for the mortgage company's phone # and the refinancier's phone #. Even though the borrower decides not to use the title company, we encourage them to use our survey since it was done on their behalf, and we are happy to recertify it for them within 6 months at no charge.

While there are some circumstances that may be done differently than described above on an individual basis, we try and run our operation consistently as well as yours.
