1. Specify the number of years the Proposer has been in business:
We have been in business for over thirteen (13) years.
2. Identify the Proposer's qualifications to perform the services identified in this RFP as listed in Section
2-2 of the Scope of Services.
We are a full -service technology and system administrator for property registration programs across
the country. We administer Foreclosure Property Registration programs on behalf of local governments
to help achieve higher property registration compliance, which in turn helps to "fight blight" by
improving neighborhood safety, reducing crime and increasing home values.
We have managed property registries for over thirteen (13) years and provide a turnkey solution to
Partnered Communities by (i) identifying properties requiring registration, (ii) verifying that the
property meets the local ordinance requirements for registration, (iii) identifying the responsible
parties required to register, (iv) contacting the responsible party to warn them of the need to comply,
and (v) collecting registration fees and other required data.
We have established relationships with the real estate and banking industries and provide a central,
convenient, and efficient process for these important government tools. We continually strive to
become more efficient, while providing expanded capabilities and services.
Utilizing combined management experience and relationships, we have built a proprietary database of
nearly 8,000 responsible party organizations and their respective contacts. We leverage their
experience, relationships, and the database to communicate the details and requirements of your
community's ordinance, non-compliance, citizen complaints, and notices of violations.
We have proven to be qualified and able to provide all services, equipment, personnel, and supervision
necessary to develop, record, and administer the registration program for the City within the
requirements set forth in the Scope of Services of this RFP.
Property registration program operations are a combination of experienced people, proven processes
and leveraged technology. Operational responsibilities are separated into 5 teams. The 5 teams
represent the following specific areas of discipline and expertise:
• Government Support Team (GST)
• Customer Service Team (CST)
• Proactive Compliance Team (PCT)
• Quality Control Team (QCT)
• Information Technology Team (ITT)
The combined efforts of the experts on these teams maximizes the benefit of proven legislation,
processes and our state-of-the-art registration and communication platforms to provide a fully
collaborative and compliance focused experience for all stakeholders.

1. Include a timetable that identifies the amount of time required to complete each component of the
Program.
Once the City commits to partnering with us, the registration program onboarding process begins. This
process consists of the following activities:
o Load Ordinance and Review with the City
• The governing ordinance will be analyzed by the Legal Team and converted into business
rules, policies, and procedures.
• These business rules will be loaded into our Property Registration and Ordinances platform
(aka PROCHAMPS) to be used by the system and users through the registration process.
• The business rules, policies, and procedures will be reviewed with the community to ensure
alignment between PROCHAMPS and the City.
o Collect and Load City Data
Property Appraiser and Property Tax data will be collected from the county where
the City resides. This data will be normalized for loading into the platform.
Standard processes for collecting and normalizing this data will be created so that monthly
updates can be loaded into the platform.
o Collect and Load City Registrations
• If the City has been collecting registrations directly or through another third party, they will be
provided in electronic format to us.
• These registrations will be analyzed to determine the best way to load them into the platform.
The best loading mechanism could be automated and/or manual and is usually a combination
of both.
• Load City Registrations into the platform.
o Configure Remittance
• Confirm the timing and appropriate contacts from the City for remittance.
• Review reports provided and ensure they meet expectations of the City.
• Configure the platform to provide ongoing appropriate and timely remittance.
o Proactively Review and Assign Candidate Backlog
We will analyze all properties in the City. Properties will be identified that are subject to a
mortgage and involved in a foreclosure action or whereby a mortgagee has taken title to a
property through a foreclosure action or deed -in -lieu of foreclosure sale. This analysis will go
back at least 5 years to determine if a foreclosure process was started and if it can be
determined the foreclosure process has ended.
• Pursuant to the governing ordinance, these properties will be analyzed by us against other
property data and business rules to determine if there is an obligation to register. If it is
determined there is an obligation, then the property will become a candidate for registration.
• All candidate registrations will be reviewed by the Compliance Team to confirm the registration
obligation and assign the appropriate Responsible Parties ("RP").
10
V r/
Program Maintenance -
Once the onboarding process is complete, we move into the maintenance phase. The activities making up the
ongoing fulfillment effort include, but are not limited to:
• Identify Foreclosed Properties
• We continually collect foreclosed property evidence that is located within the City to determine new
potential obligations to register.
• The Compliance Team will review filings to identify as potentially foreclosed properties.
• The initial filing date is confirmed to ensure the appropriate start date of the foreclosure action or
registration and collect on any past due registration fees. This review prevents Responsible Parties from
bypassing any past due registration obligations.
• Monitor and Regulate Foreclosed Properties
• All identified foreclosed properties will be analyzed on an ongoing basis for any ownership and registration
changes. This analysis will confirm, using all available data whether there is any compliance concern or
whether the property should be deregistered.
• We will ensure, for all identified foreclosed properties, accurate and current Responsible Party contact info
for compliance outreach activities.
• We will send notifications to all responsible parties of each foreclosed property. These notifications are
repeated on a regular basis until the property is compliant.
• Registrants will have access to a 24/7 access to any modern browser or mobile device to update or complete
the registration process and to ensure their property meets regulatory standards.
• We provide the City with current and trend metrics on all foreclosed property enforcement activities.
• We provide the City with requested reports and data regarding foreclosed properties.
• Provide City Support
• The Support Team provides a high level of professional ongoing support via email, phone, and live chat to
City staff.
• All support requests are tracked as tickets to ensure efficient resolution, to include monthly audits for
quality control purposes.
• Our technology provides the City with complete visibility into the status and resolution of all support
tickets.
• Provide Training
• We work with the City to provide ongoing training for all designated employees to understand the
program and be proficient in the use of our platform.
• We conduct customized online trainings upon request.
• Conduct Regular Program Status Reviews
• Our Government Support Team will reach out to the City periodically to ensure expectations are being
met, that our communication and reporting are effective, and that we are collaborating, as necessary.
• A report card may be provided to the City to measure our performance across key operational areas.
