Ernst Publishing Co., a provider of technology and closing cost data for the real estate and home finance industries, has been selected for the 2013 Best of Albany Award in the Publishers category by the Albany Award Program. The Albany Award recognizes those companies that have shown the ability to use their best practices and implemented programs to generate competitive advantages and long-term value, and according to the presenters, this award is a result of the company’s dedication and efforts to build a sustainable business in Albany.
“Each year, the Albany Award Program identifies companies that it believes have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category,” the presenters said in a release. “We focus on companies that have demonstrated their ability to use various marketing methods to grow their business in spite of difficult economic times. The companies chosen exemplify the best of small business; often leading through customer service and community involvement. These exceptional companies help make the Albany area a great place to live, work and play.”
Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2013 Albany Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the Albany Award Program and data provided by third parties.
“We’re proud to be called a local company in Albany, even though we serve a national client base, and we’re very proud of this award,” said Gregory Teal, president and chief executive officer of Ernst Publishing. “We believe strongly in our responsibility to be a good neighbor in the communities in which we work and to contribute what we can to help strengthen the economy here in Albany. This is a great place to live and work and we’ll continue to do our part to make it better.”
Ernst won Mortgage Technology’s 10X award for having an exponential impact on the mortgage lending business last October and was listed among the top 50 service providers in its industry for 2013.
Due to RESPA requirements that went into effect in January 2010, accurate recording fees and taxes for recording documents have never been more important. Ernst excels at creating solutions for their clients to manage not just those fees — but also all vendor fees.
