International Title Partners (ITP) increased its security protocols and transaction ease by implementing ZOCCAM allowing real estate agents to send earnest money and real estate contracts directly to the title company without having to drive according to the company’s announcement.
“There are too many things that can go wrong when manually depositing paper checks for earnest money deposits, not to mention the time involved with Realtors or buyers driving checks to the title company,” ITP Owner and Attorney Laurin Evans said. “We take information security very seriously as part of our compliance with ALTA Best Practices, and ZOCCAM makes our business even more secure. We are thrilled to be the first title company in Florida to offer this. Realtors are excited about ZOCCAM because it’s another way to set themselves apart from the competition and provide additional value to their customers.”
From the user’s perspective, the announcement said, the technology is as easy as taking a picture of the earnest money check, and functions similarly to banking apps for deposits.
“Title companies like International Title Partners are the trailblazers embracing technology to heighten security and the overall closing experience,” ZOCCAM CEO and founder Ashley Cook said. “Delivery of funds securely is a big part of that experience, but so is the communication between the parties. ZOCCAM’s email notification system provides transparency, aiding in consumer education, which is where our industry needs to be.”
