88 MCS Announces Acquisition of Lenders Title Solutions Mortgage Contracting Services (MCS), LLC, a nationwide provider of property preservation, inspections, REO property maintenance, and valuations for the financial services industry with locations in Lewisville, Texas; Ruston, Louisiana; and Tampa, Florida; has announced the acquisition of Lenders Title Solutions, a national title insurance and settle- ment services provider based in Clearwater, Florida. Lenders Title Solutions will operate as a division of MCS Solutions, which is the valu- ation, title services, and steel security product line of MCS. e company, which currently employs 102, will retain the Lenders Title So- lutions name. e acquisition allows MCS to expand its ability to serve its mortgage industry clients. "Lenders Title Solutions provides an unsurpassed level of customer experience and superior products and services for its clients," said Chad Mosley, Chief Operating Officer of MCS Solutions. "e company will make a great addition to our business, and I believe we both will grow stronger as a result of the combination." "We're very proud of what we've created here and the services we've provided to our clients through the years," said Chris Sketch, Chief Executive Officer at Lenders Title Solu- tions. "And likewise, we're proud now to be a part of MCS Solutions." "is is a new beginning for us and one that's pretty exciting for everyone here and for the people we work with every day," said Ian Gorman, Chief Operations Officer at Lenders Title Solutions. "Being a part of MCS will make available new resources and open up pos- sibilities that didn't exist before." MCS, which is celebrating 30 years of business in 2016, has continually expanded its suite of services over the last few years through acquisitions. In 2014, MCS added the Col- lateral Solutions and Field Services business units of Irvine, California-based CoreLogic, covering products that cover valuations in both loan origination and default. Earlier in 2016, MCS acquired EPIC Real Estate Solutions, an Austin, Texas-based provider of title insurance, escrow, and closing services. "Our philosophy has always been—and always will be—that growth is good only if it helps us do more and better things for our clients," said MCS CEO Caroline Reaves. FLORIDA NTC Launches New Version of Popular Report Nationwide Title Clearing (NTC), a post- closing services provider for the nation's largest financial institutions, investors and servicers, has launched a new, shortened version of the company's popular Assignment Verification Report (AVR), called the AVXpress (AVX), according to a recent release from the company. e new streamlined report contains every- thing an AVR contains without the keyed report, without compromising the quality of the research clients are accustomed to receiving from NTC. "Our research services are the gold standard in the US real estate business, but not every client needs the complete Assignment Verifica- tion Report," said NTC CEO John Hillman. "is new report is a direct result of our drive to provide exactly the kinds of products and services our client partners need. We expect the AVXpress to be the perfect solution for many of those we serve today." AVX involves a thorough search of actual, current land records. e resulting research is then bundled up into an image package containing the subject mortgage and all ap- plicable recorded documents in an assignment chain or that impact the standing of the target mortgage. is image pack can be used to support best signing practices by providing relevant supporting documentation or to assist in the perfecting of collateral files by retrieving recorded documents that are often missing and can cause many downstream issues throughout the life of a loan. Nationwide Title Clearing uses the new report in the delivery of the Assignment and Release Services its clients rely upon. rough the process of an NTC created assignment or lien release, the company validates the assign- ment chain and lender of record shown on the most recent assignment in the AVX to support the correct preparation and execution of the document being prepared to be recorded.
