MRIS, the industry-leading Mid-Atlantic Multiple Listing Service (MLS), and Federal Title & Escrow Co. has announced it has launched MRIS Close It!, a desktop and mobile app that provides quick and concise closing cost estimates.
“MRIS Close It! accurately answers questions real estate agents commonly hear such as ‘how much cash do I need to close?’ and ‘how much can I expect to net from the sale of my home’,” said Andrew Strauch, Vice President of Product Innovation at MRIS. “Through this new core product, our customers now have the ability to quickly and easily answer these questions for homebuyers and sellers on the fly.”
Through the partnership, MRIS, which facilitates nearly $125 million a day in real estate transactions, now offers a custom, specially licensed version of Close It! to calculate total cash-to-close and net proceeds for real estate transactions. MRIS Close It! allows users to instantly create, edit and share HUD-1 Settlement Statements and net sales sheets.
“I am going on 37 years in this business and MRIS Close It! is as easy as it gets to calculating closing costs for buyers and sellers,” said Scott Miller, MRIS customer and Associate Broker at RE/MAX 100. “My clients and I can rely on MRIS Close It! for quick and helpful closing cost estimates.”
Federal Title, a technology pioneer in the title industry, initially launched the consumer-facing Close It! app in May 2013 to simplify homebuying costs. The app, along with the MRIS version, can compare costs in different jurisdictions and show the difference in closing on the first of the month compared to at the end of the month. Many features are customizable including the mortgage rate and down payment amount and allow the user to differentiate between FHA, VA loans and cash purchases.
“We created the most accurate app on the market that simplifies the closing process,” said Federal Title founder Todd Ewing. “It removes the guesswork from the equation and is the ultimate closing costs calculator.”
The app is a new core product for MRIS customers and is included in their MRIS subscription at no additional charge. To learn more about MRIS Close It! and to download the app for iPhone/iPad, please visit http://www.mris.com/CloseIt.
