BEWARE OF "BUNDLED" SERVICES

.

Many of our counterparts in the State of Washington have been mass marketing escrow services at "bundled rates" with an introductory fee of 400.00 dollars or less on a refinance, and 475.00 on a purchase transaction.  We have been asked by many of our customers why our refinance rates are at 450.00 dollars, and we have a simple answer...we have bundled our fees way longer than anyone else!

We constantly monitor our competitors pricing to ensure you are getting every cost effective service you would expect from any escrow company.  Our refinance rates have not increased in 10 years, and remain the same to this very day.  We never charge extra for email, wire, courier, doc prep, reconveyance, short sales, 1031 exchanges, private party notes and deeds, or proceeds splits.......Do they? Yes....yes, they do......

Example:

TITLE COMPANIES/ ESCROW COMPANIES  Have merged into a conglomeration of services. So, with all of the title company power behind them, they offer "unbelieveable" BUNDLED rates. So lets take a look at three of these very popular comapanies:

Company T Says: Purchase and Sale up to 300k is 475.00 per side.   Then Company T puts an asterisk somewhere in there. Do you know what that means? Lets go  and see:

* additional fees apply  !!!! Thats right. Go look at Company T`s website. and sure enough, there is a 50.00 dollar to 75.00 dollar fee on every transaction for "WIRE AND COURIER" CHARGES! 

COMPANIES "X" "A" and "T"   THINK YOU ARE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO READ THE FINE PRINT

HERE`S ANOTHER EXAMPLE:
COMPANY X CHARGES 475.00 PER SIDE ON A 250,000.00 PURCHASE
WHAT YOU DO NOT SEE IS THIS .....60.00 PER SIDE WIRE COURIER FEES, 10.00/SIDE EMAIL FEES  FEES FEES FEES....ALL HIDDEN


SHANNON ESCROW NEVER CHARGES ADD ON OR JUNK FEES LIKE THE ESCROW/TITLE GROUPS DO!
AND SHAME ON THEM FOR TREATING YOU LIKE THAT.

We understand the economy. We understand the needs of every consumer. We, ourselves,  are consumers.

This is the reason we continually shop other escrow companies in the State of Washington. We want you to feel confident you are getting the best service, at the best price.

We encourage your diligence, and offer the following fee comparisons from our competitors:
400.00 bundled rates ask for wire, courier, payoff, edoc, rush and other fees as a matter of fact. It is a shame they treat you like that.

we encourage you to look at them all...shop around

EXAMPLE:
500,000.00 dollar purchase at:
Fidelity Escrow=$848.63+ tax + 255.00 Home Warranty+ Add On fees
Thats over 1000.00 Dollars per side!
Shannon Escrow= 900.00 + tax and the warranty is free (up to 300.00)
LETS LOOK AT ANOTHER:
Northpoint = 725.00+60.00(wire/courier)+150.00 recon
No warranty No outside signings for free
(information taken from Northpoint and Fidelity website on 08/31/2010)

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY WHAT THEY SHOW YOU.
