Lane Guide Customers

Attorneys & Trustees

The Lane Guide is used by attorneys and legal departments to facilitate real estate transactions, asset searches, or attachment services. The Guide is an ideal tool for locating the correct location and sending or calling for payoff quotes, beneficiary statements, mortgage discharges, assignments or title transfers, account attachment notices and alike. 

Trustees use the Guide as a creditor directory. To help locate lenders and creditors, both secured and unsecured, for discharges, bankruptcy settlements, and lien releases.  When they have a stack of returned checks, they use Lane Guide to help them locate creditors or quickly find their successor. 

Investigators also use the Guide in conjunction with asset searches and skip-tracing work. Our CD-ROM product allows them to find financial institutions by name, county, city or zip code range. If you have a need to contact financial institutions on a regular basis, Lane Guide is an ideal reference for your legal library.

Recommendation: If you only occasionally contact financial institutions, we recommend our Internet edition  For those who frequently contact institutions or need to contact institutions all over the country, we recommend our CD-ROM versions.

Settlement and Loan Processing

Lane Guide helps to locate the loan servicing centers for payoffs and demands. The escrow officer knows far too well that the address the borrower provides is oftentimes the “payment” address and NOT the actual location of records. Sometimes, the payment address is a third-party which only processes the payment for the institution. Therefore, the escrow professional uses the Lane Guide to determine the correct institution and the appropriate office or department of that institution.  Plus, Lane Guide includes bank branch and deposit verification locations too.

Lane Guide provides street and mailing addresses, telephone numbers for verbal requests and follow-ups, fax numbers for those who may accept faxed payoff statement requests and a schedule of any applicable fees (i.e.: demands, updates, beneficiary statements, assumptions and alike). If the Guide saves you just one escrow delay a year, it has more than paid for itself.  Our exclusive LenderTrace™system make life easy for  settlement professionals by finding step-by-step cross-references for closed lenders.

Recommendation: Due to the usual high-volume a loan office or title company generates (as well as the need to contact lenders nationwide), we recommend our CD-ROM or Internet edition.

Real Estate Brokers & Investors

Now you have a source to find REO (asset manager's office) contacts at lenders nationwide. Find Loss Mitigation departments for short sales and loan workouts.

Lane Guide lists all financial institutions in one reference which makes the job fast and easy. No more calling from office to office trying to find the address to send a verification. We list service centers, REO departments, Loss Mit offices, and administration. The Lane Guide offers quality information updated with changes and additions continuously.

Brokers and Investors also enjoy that we have foreclosure trustee offices and cross-references for closed lenders linking them to the successor.

Recommendation: We have a special REO CD-ROM designed especially for those looking for REO contacts.  It includes a built in intro letter that works with Word® to produce addressed letters to your printer.

Mortgage Brokers

Mortgage Brokers use the Guide as a source for finding wholesale lenders. Our “Lenders Index” provides detailed information on wholesale lenders by state and lending category. Listings include Programs, LTV% and Dollar Amounts along with wholesale contact names. This is an ideal source for building new lender contacts as well as keeping track of those you may already know.

Because our Guide lists all financial institutions, it makes an excellent phone directory on the entire lending industry. Now you can find the loan or administrative offices of those lenders you have ONLY heard of. Also, if you process your own loans, the Guide makes an excellent resource for your loan processor.

Recommendation: For moderate to heavy use, we recommend the CD-ROM version of the Lane Guide. For occasional use, the  Internet edition may be the most cost effective solution.
