Project Description
The intern will support the review and follow-up process for Termination and Release documentation related to property funding records in Salesforce. The project focuses on verifying whether the Fully Executed Termination and Release (FETR) has been received, ensuring Salesforce records are accurate, and coordinating follow-up communication with title companies to support the release or return of earnest money deposits.
Key Objectives:
Verify the accuracy and completeness of Salesforce funding records by reviewing property documentation and confirming the presence of Fully Executed Termination and Release (FETR) forms: The intern will be responsible for pulling up property records in Salesforce and reviewing the documents section to locate the FETR. If the FETR is not available, the intern will update Salesforce by unchecking the “Termination Release Received” box, sending a follow-up email requesting the signed termination from the seller, and adding a note to the funding record comments documenting the follow-up.
Support the timely recovery of earnest money deposits (EMD): Once the FETR is located, the intern will identify the most recent email sent to the title company, Listing Agent, and Closings team where the document was circulated. The intern will reply to all, add Dotalee Manns at [email protected] to the CC line, attach the FETR and buyer wiring instructions, and request that the title company proceed with wiring the funds or provide wire confirmation if funds have already been returned. The intern will also update the funding record comments to reflect the completed follow-up, including that the title was contacted to release the EMD, the FETR and wiring instructions were supplied, and Dotalee Manns was copied.
Deliverables:
By the end of the internship, the intern is expected to have reviewed assigned Salesforce property records for FETR documentation, corrected records where the FETR was not actually received, and completed appropriate follow-up communications with title companies. The intern should also ensure funding record comments are consistently updated with clear documentation of each action taken.
Expected outcomes include improved Salesforce data accuracy, better tracking of missing or completed Termination and Release documentation, timely follow-up on outstanding seller signed terminations, and stronger support for the release or return of earnest money deposits.
