This “CARFAX for Properties” May Change EVERYTHING

David:
That is the BiggerPockets Podcast, present 808.

Sheila:
I believe everybody realizes there must be a change. I believe David talked about earlier in regards to the archaic system that has by no means modified because the starting of actual property.

David:
Proper.

Sheila:
And we are literally bringing about all of that change.

David:
What’s occurring everybody? That is David Greene, your host of the BiggerPockets Actual Property Podcast, right here as we speak with my co-host, Rob Abasolo, bringing you present quantity 808 like Hawaii’s space code. Rob, when’s the final time you have been in Hawaii?

Rob:
It was about three years in the past. Oh, no, no, no, no. It was like 4 years in the past. It’s been some time. It’s been some time. It’s truly why I learn BRRRR, by the way in which. It enjoyable reality for you, my pal.

David:
Was in Hawaii.

Rob:
Was in Maui.

David:
Good man. That’s possibly the place it was conceived, truly, if you concentrate on it. I spent plenty of time there too.

Rob:
And who is aware of, possibly I used to be simply minutes away from Brandon Turner the whole time, and I had no thought.

David:
You’ll know if he was. Everyone sees him. He walks round, and it simply, he’s tremendous noticeable. Properly, guys, we have now acquired a implausible episode for you as we speak. You’ll see why we’re the largest, the very best, and the baddest actual property podcast on this planet. In the present day, Rob and I interview Sheila Fejeran and Teresa Grobecker of Consortia, an organization that’s utilizing blockchain to revolutionize the way in which that actual property modifications fingers, info is recorded, even forex is moved round.
This can be a implausible episode. And it’s another excuse why you’re listening to the BiggerPockets Podcast as a result of each week, we’re bringing you tales like this, how-tos, and solutions that that you must make sensible actual property selections now in as we speak’s present market, in addition to the longer term market, which is the place we’re headed. Rob, I’m certain that your quiff is shaking proper now. What are some issues that traders ought to take note of in as we speak’s present to assist them with their enterprise?

Rob:
Properly, initially, let me say I’m significantly enthusiastic about this episode as a result of I really like future stuff. I really like futurey stuff. I really like change, particularly in the actual property world, the place plenty of practices are a bit outdated and archaic. I believe that when a county web site is trendy, I get all excited as a result of I’m like, “Oh man, I don’t have to take a look at a web site from 1990.” So that is the exact opposite finish of that, the place it actually appears like we’re strolling into 2050, you understand.

David:
Completely. This present will get your thoughts racing and your ideas operating. It’s very quick. You might need to hearken to it twice, however I need to just be sure you tell us within the feedback on YouTube what have been a few of the issues that caught your consideration probably the most or possibly gave you just a little little bit of a mind-blown second.
Earlier than we usher in Sheila and Teresa, a fast tip for everybody. By no means shut on a Friday. Should you’re an agent, don’t simply put 30 days on the contract. Really take a look at the timeline and keep away from closing on a Friday. And if you happen to’re shopping for, inform your agent this. Take heed to as we speak’s present to be taught why.

Rob:
Oh, I’ve acquired one other fast tip, one other fast tip. Fast tip quantity two is at all times name and confirm your wire directions. You could suppose that it’s an additional step. It’s annoying, however I promise you, if you happen to hearken to this episode, you’ll perceive why it’s truly 100% crucial for each closing.

David:
All proper, let’s get to it. Sheila and Teresa, welcome to the present. To kick issues off, why don’t you inform us just a little bit about your private background with actual property?

Teresa:
Yeah, I grew up in actual property, I might say. After we speak about rates of interest being what they’re as we speak, one in every of my first reminiscences is being at my sister’s growth, and rates of interest went to 18% whereas she was redoing a property. So I grew up managing property with my dad and mom. I purchased, I believe, 23 doorways within the lifeless of COVID. That’s such a dad joke. However the world was shut down. We didn’t know the way we’d get a notary out. The title workplaces have been shut down. I purchased 23 doorways when the world was shut down, in order that’s enjoyable. I’m form of loopy.
I did my first two repair and flips with a child on every hip and simply drywall in all places. Anyone was burning laminate flooring or as they have been laying new flooring in one of many properties and making an attempt to nurse a child. So yeah, I’m form of hardcore about simply doubling down on investing in actual property. I do imagine that it’s the key to unlocking wealth. I believe that… I imagine within the American dream, like so hardcore. I’m an immigrant. I used to be left to die within the hospital in my nation as a result of I used to be half.
I used to be half American, half white, and half of that origin. And so my dad and mom… my mother left every thing to come back to the USA, and for me, there’s nothing extra essential than defending that American dream that evokes me every single day. It’s the rationale why I took every week out of my life to go assist with Truthful Housing final week in DC and actually what drives me with Consortia. In order that’s simply me and my story and investing and why actual property is essential to me.

David:
Thanks for that. The place’d you purchase the properties at?

Teresa:
I purchased in Illinois. I’ve an atlas in entrance of me after which in Kentucky.

David:
All proper. Thanks. Sheila?

Sheila:
Yeah, I truly began out on the… working for Jerry Jones. He’s an enormous developer in Dallas, and so I began working for his workplace, which is how I acquired into actual property, studying that finish of it after which wound up operating the Customized Traditional divisions and neighborhoods for David Weekley. My present is construction. I really like development, and so I can stroll right into a home and inform you precisely what to do to repair it. I can inform you what partitions to take down. What to vary. I can see it in my head.
So I might truly draw ground plans for owners, hand it to the CAD operator to load, after which labored with the builder to construct it. So I did that for a couple of decade earlier than I grew to become a dealer after which began shopping for and flipping or shopping for and holding and gutting and renovating properties ever since then. So I nonetheless do this, not as a lot. I’ve achieved so lots of them that I’m on the level the place I’m like, “Okay, I believe I’m going to purchase one thing I don’t have to truly intestine.”
I believe I’m on the level the place I simply need to have the ability to paint it and possibly [inaudible] change the carpet or one thing or change the… Simply hardcore renovations simply do… take one thing out of you, and the older you get, the much less you’re keen to try this. After which serving to traders. Multifamily or house buildings and simply serving to individuals look and purchase and what to do and how one can be sure to can get your a reimbursement, how lengthy are you going to carry it, that form of stuff.

David:
Sheila and Teresa run an organization known as Consortia. We’ll get into [inaudible] of what Consortia does. However briefly, this firm has put the world’s largest asset class on the blockchain, and it simply could also be the way forward for actual property. Teresa and Sheila each invested actual property personally, to allow them to communicate to the advantages for different traders. So good to have you ever two on as we speak.

Sheila:
Thanks.

Teresa:
Superior to be right here. Thanks.

David:
Yeah. Teresa, are you able to share with our listeners what Consortia does?

Teresa:
Consortia is CarFax for the home on blockchain. So consider blockchain as a spreadsheet. Everybody’s used a spreadsheet earlier than, proper. We put in numbers, particulars a couple of transaction or one thing that we have to arrange in a spreadsheet. Generally I create a spreadsheet, and I share it with Sheila, and I’m like, “Sheila, are you able to add to my spreadsheet since you’re tremendous sensible? Please add in info particulars.” Proper.
We’ve all achieved this with enterprise companions, spouses. Different occasions we make a listing of issues, after which we ship it to someone like my children, “You haven’t any opinion about this. Nobody cares what you suppose. You’re solely allowed to learn this. You’re not allowed to put in writing into the spreadsheet.” In order that’s how we use blockchain. It’s only a spreadsheet. It’s an XML file to log particulars a couple of piece of property.

David:
Rob, what do you concentrate on this to date?

Rob:
Yeah, I’ve a query. So whenever you say the CarFax for properties, CarFax usually… Principally it data all the historical past of a car, proper. So when the car was offered, when the car was broken, there’s an insurance coverage declare. It even will get right down to if somebody ever crashed a car and acquired it repaired at an auto store, proper. Is that successfully what you’re saying right here? It’s the CarFax for properties in that you’re principally transcribing the whole historical past of the property onto the blockchain.

Teresa:
Yeah. You nailed it.

Rob:
Okay. Nice. So good, good, good. So that you talked about the blockchain, and we’re used to listening to blockchain in reference to crypto, however Consortia is just not crypto. Are you able to clarify how crypto and blockchain are completely different?

Teresa:
Yeah, so blockchain is the underlying expertise that crypto relies on prime of. And the large distinction between Consortia and plenty of protocols which might be out there may be Consortia determined by no means to be a crypto. We by no means did a increase. Nothing that we’re constructed on is public chain. So there’s this huge divergence, I might say, within the blockchain area, public versus non-public chain.
And if it was public chain, meaning every thing about my info, client’s info would all be publicly obtainable or at the least a key, a hash, to go after which reference info that must be non-public. So I’m licensed in a bunch of various methods from the state to federal authorities, and in my line of labor and Sheila’s line of labor, as a result of we’re related, we have now to maintain the patron. So defending their info is paramount, and that’s what Consortia does is defend the integrity of the home and the details about the one that owns the home.

David:
So let’s possibly take this to the next stage after which scale down into a few of these particulars. If I’m understanding you appropriately, that is changing what a title report would’ve achieved up to now, proper?

Teresa:
No, we don’t exchange title. For us, we have now a really completely different opinion. I believe there are plenty of millennial fanatics about blockchain. I’m a millennial. I get it, and I’m in blockchain. However the enterprise use case for title being recorded with a title plant being dealt with by attorneys and having an insurance coverage product behind it’s elementary to the integrity of the world’s largest asset class.

David:
Okay. That helps. So we all know what it’s not. It’s not changing title disrupting the trade such as you preserve listening to all people screaming from the rooftops every time new expertise is launched. Are you able to give me some examples of what would seem on this spreadsheet?
So would this be, within the inspection report, the roof exhibits that it’s solely acquired 4 years of helpful life, or there’s a plumbing leak, and these pipes have been modified, however these ones weren’t. {The electrical} system was upgraded on this a part of the home, nevertheless it’s not some other place. You’re saying that is info {that a} residence purchaser would need to know, however you don’t essentially need the lender being aware about this as a result of it might blow up the entire deal the minute that they noticed it.

Sheila:
Precisely. And likewise, understand that a house inspector is doing an over… flyover of the asset. They’re not essentially a licensed contractor. They aren’t knowledgeable plumber or knowledgeable HVAC firm. They’re simply making an attempt to provide you an thought of issues that might doubtlessly be of concern.
After which you’re purported to then name these different firms to have them truly inform you what’s occurring with that a part of the home and if there is a matter and if it does have to be changed. That’s not the house inspector’s job. Dwelling inspectors to do based mostly on what code is as we speak versus the situation of that a part of the asset. So I believe lots of people take a look at residence inspectors as in the event that they’re this guru development person who’s going to inform them every thing occurring within the property, and that’s not true.

Rob:
So I’ve a query about this. I’m actually on this use case. Successfully, if we’re stashing away all the info and all the repairs and all the issues from the houses move, proper, 80 to 100 years, do you suppose it’s potential that that will make the home seem to be a a lot scarier and riskier buy to the on a regular basis purchaser?

David:
100% it might. Yeah.

Rob:
Okay. And thus disrupting how typically houses are literally offered or resold. I imply, it looks like it may have a fairly drastic impact on market worth, proper.

Sheila:
Let me simply form of put a pin on this as a result of Teresa and I have been on a gathering earlier as we speak with one in every of our companions, who’s an organization that’s truly giving a real AVM valuation via his product. And he has created one thing that he can AI scan the images of the property and inform you what a typical AVM can be, i.e., what capital markets would usually see, versus, based mostly on the photographs, what the precise situation of the property worth is.
After which the fee to truly renovate that property and what the worth can be after you renovated it. It was an $80,000 distinction between what a typical AVM that capital markets makes use of of the worth of that asset versus what the true situation was based mostly on scanning the photographs. So will this make an enormous distinction for capital markets, secondary markets? Will it make an enormous distinction between what you will get for the property? Completely.
So Teresa and I aren’t engaged on only one piece of this. We’re engaged on each piece of this. So we have now each single a part of the asset, each single factor having to do with that asset, location, flood, maps, photos, situation, home equipment, main mechanicals. We’ve firms in each a part of the trade nationally that we’re ingesting information on to have the ability to then go give the true situation and the true worth of that asset.

Rob:
Okay. So actually quick for the individuals at residence. What’s AVM? I’m certain lots of people are like, “Properly, what’s that?”

Teresa:
Computerized Valuation Mannequin. So whenever you go to Zillow, right here’s the very best instance. Debates apart, whether or not Zillow is correct or not. You speak to a dealer or a home-owner, they may be like, “Hmm, I don’t find out about that.” And really, it takes many alternative AVMs to give you one thing the place you suppose you’re within the ballpark.
In order that’s the way it’s utilized in the actual property trade, and that’s how a dealer goes to a client and says, “We’re going to listing your value at, say, 570.” You may get a ballpark vary from wherever from 650 right down to 525, however someplace within the center is the value that you just give you. No completely different in capital markets. They need to know what’s the worth of this asset that’s being traded in these mortgage swimming pools.

David:
Okay, that is dense and wealthy like German chocolate desserts.

Sheila:
Precisely.

David:
[inaudible] see if I can… Let me see if I’ve an excellent understanding of what you’re saying. Attempt to paint as away from an image as I can, after which we’re going to dive into how this could change the actual property market. If I’m listening to you appropriate, we’re going to have the ability to retailer info that the house inspector discovered, the HVAC firm that got here to take a look at the air conditioner generates a report. It goes to the home-owner. That particular person now doesn’t need to disclose that to the customer. This might be a spot the place it’s all saved. Right here’s the roofing report, the HVAC report, the plumbing report, the pest report. At one level, that they had termites. At one level, that they had roaches. Something like that’s now a database the place that is saved that folks can see.
And I believe you talked about earlier, the rationale that is priceless is as a result of not everybody can simply go in there and see it. They need to have permission. So the capital markets and we are saying that we’re speaking in regards to the firms that purchase loans from some other place. It’s not essentially good for them to have the ability to see that proper off the bat as a result of who is aware of what they’re going to do with that info and the way they complicate it. So I perceive now why you have been saying this’ll be non-public, and if in case you have permission, you may see what was in there. The automated valuation fashions are issues that these secondary markets which might be shopping for tons of paper, tons of loans on these homes, they will’t rent an individual to individually take a look at each home and say, “Let’s see the photographs.”
So what occurs in these conditions, as a result of I’ve labored with these hedge funds or non-public fairness, is they only price an algorithm that type of accumulates all of this information collectively. They throw it in there. Like, “The common of those 700 houses, they need to be value about no matter.” This can be a strategy to truly carry some specifics to the property in order that they may know what they’re getting and provide you with a extra correct thought just like what the Zestimate does on Zillow. This might be a approach that you would get a extra correct understanding of a house with out having to go get the skilled to go go to the home, take a look at the photographs. Okay. I see the place you guys are going with this entire factor.
And it might change the way in which, Rob, to your level, individuals can be scared to purchase homes. They may at first as a result of each purchaser assumes they’re shopping for a model new development residence, although it’s 50 years previous. And the minute as a result of I do know you two each make investments yourselves. This blows up offers on a regular basis. As an agent, we take a look at the home, and there’s a crack within the bricks main as much as the house, they usually’re like, “Oh, I don’t need to purchase it. The bricks are cracked. I would like a $10,000 credit score.” What you’re proposing, the CarFax for a house would put all of this collectively in a database. We may truly give you algorithms that will think about, “Hey, plumbing, that’s 30 years previous. Takes this a lot off the worth of a home.”
Issues like roofs, dry rot, all these items that truly do make a revenue much less… a property much less worthwhile may very well be evaluated, giving someone a way more goal understanding of what a house is value. And a purchaser would then get used to seeing this in order that they wouldn’t freak out each single time they see there’s a leaky bathroom as a result of each home they’ve checked out, there’s a listing of these items. Is that an total understanding of what you guys are placing collectively right here?

Teresa:
Yeah. I believe that it’s most helpful in capital markets. I believe that’s… And if we will dial down the chance in capital markets, so work from the tip and work my approach again. So if you happen to create extra efficiencies over right here in capital markets, it’s going to trickle right down to the patron profit.

David:
All proper. So whenever you say the capital markets, what you’re saying is this could give lenders extra confidence in lending on particular belongings, which might theoretically carry more cash into that world as a result of it appears much less dangerous for them.

Teresa:
Not simply the lenders secondary markets. So the cash behind the lender.

David:
Okay.

Teresa:
As a result of it’s not simply the lender that has the cash. It’s the man with the cash behind that. After which it’s not simply the insurance coverage firm. It’s the reinsurance firm that’s behind the man. Like Liberty Mutual has a reinsurance firm, if not two or three behind them that’s diversifying dangers.

Sheila:
And the opposite factor that most individuals don’t understand, to your level David, is that most individuals, when they consider the actual property trade, they only take into consideration the gross sales. Like, “What does the Nationwide Affiliation of Realtors say the variety of gross sales have been for the yr?” A few years in the past, it was 6 million. Final yr is about 5.2. This yr it’s going to wind up someplace round 4.5 million. So most individuals are solely excited about the gross sales of properties for the yr.
However to your level about you as a lender having somebody who offers you the mortgage that they promote that most individuals don’t understand whenever you get a mortgage, that mortgage’s going to be offered 5 to seven occasions. So as an alternative of Teresa and I excited about 4 million properties or 4 million gross sales a yr, we’re speaking… we have now individuals buying and selling tens of millions a month with the people who we’re working with which might be doing the mortgage-backed safety.
So there are, as she talked about, trillions of {dollars} being exchanged yearly on the mortgage-backed safety facet with simply the loans transferring fingers. So if we repair that, how then will that not impression this finish of the spectrum, not solely from the fee to originate a mortgage, the patron prices, [inaudible] goes right down to the patron. As a result of if we will save the cash over right here, then we have now the flexibility to impression each a part of the method and everybody concerned.

Rob:
Properly, that is all very fascinating. I can see the use case. It’s very clear to see the place you’re going, proper. What the tendencies that you just’re making an attempt to set or making an attempt to repair. However can we simply again up and go to the origin of why we’re doing this and possibly speak about a few of the pitfalls of the state of property information now in transactions?

Teresa:
Oh, certain. Yeah. So there’s some pitfalls in doing a transaction. In the way in which transactions are dealt with now, there’s simply a lot details about the home that we don’t know. I don’t care if there’s a nail gap within the wall as a result of I’m an investor. If there’s a gap two ft extensive, I’m like, “Hmm, that’s a chunk of…” I acquired to doc that one, proper. But when it’s a small error, that’s so subjective.
So there’s all this previous historical past a couple of home. It may very well be one thing so simple as like, “What shade paint is on my wall? I’d prefer to know that shade paint so I don’t make 5 journeys to Dwelling Depot to determine what paint to match.” But it surely’s greater than that. It’s like, “The place are the pipes on this home? Do I’ve to interrupt aside this whole wall simply to determine how one can make some form of an edit in my kitchen dimension?” So this actually comes from frustration of shopping for homes, promoting homes, getting yelled at my prospects, like, “You lied to me about this.” It’s private self-interest. Really, the entire challenge may be very egocentric, I suppose.

David:
Properly, it’s a results of someone someplace didn’t disclose one thing, after which, particularly, in California however in all places. All of us rush and say, “Let’s make a legislation or a brand new rule-”

Sheila:
Precisely.

David:
“… to cease this from ever taking place once more.” Nobody asks the query of is that this truly sensible or will it work? It simply makes us really feel protected that there’s a rule. So they are saying, “All proper, sellers need to disclose every thing they know that’s flawed with the home.” However sellers don’t know every thing that’s flawed with the home. And in the event that they did, how arduous… how straightforward is it to show you knew that, and also you didn’t inform me? I imply, it occurred 15 years in the past. Or, “Yeah, we used to listen to a bizarre noise at night time, however I didn’t give it some thought.”
After which, such as you stated, Teresa, the agent visible inspection, disclosure is a joke. You stroll via, and also you’re like, “The paint’s discolored over there. The cupboard squeaks whenever you open it.” What? You’re not a house inspector. You don’t know what you’re . It’s a approach that folks examine a field that makes a client really feel protected that’s completely ineffective. It doesn’t do any good. After which it results in off individuals, proper. They transfer into the home, and the cupboard doorways are falling off, and the tap is leaking, or there’s a basis drawback that didn’t present up within the report, after which they’re offended, they usually need to go sue someone.
After which, “Properly, these sellers knew about it.” It simply creates an enormous ugly situation. What I see, what you guys are saying is your product can be a historical past, similar to with a automotive, of every thing that went flawed with it so that customers could make educated selections. I imply, I believe that’s good, and I’m speechless. This may be the primary time on the podcast. I don’t know what to say apart from I believe that that is good.

Rob:
Yeah, it’s a very cool product. So I do know that one of many different huge pitfalls most likely of the present approach that we collect information or disperse it’s wire fraud. Is there a use case for stopping wire fraud type of via this new, I don’t know, processing of information?

Sheila:
Completely. I imply, that’s one of many issues that we’re working with the Ate up as a result of if you concentrate on not too terribly way back, wire fraud was within the million, 100 million vary. Now it’s 2 billion.

David:
Are you able to guys describe wire fraud briefly so that folks know virtually what meaning?

Rob:
Yeah. To love an on a regular basis client?

David:
Yeah.

Sheila:
Properly, if I’m shopping for a home, a title firm says, “I’m going to ship you wiring directions.” They electronic mail it to me. You don’t suppose individuals are hacking individuals’s emails.

David:
Proper.

Sheila:
After which, I can select to both bodily go to my financial institution and ship that wire. However what occurs is you get verification by electronic mail, which is generally not safe, in regards to the amount of cash that’s going to be wired and the day it must be wired. So that you don’t suppose that individuals are interrupting that wire? And we’ve had so many individuals inform us tales that 600,000 was despatched, and it by no means arrived on the title firm. And someway, in that 24 hour interval or no matter interval it takes to get that wire to that title firm, it someway disappears.

David:
Yeah. So that you’ll have individuals that may name my shopper and say, “Hey, I work for ACME Title firm. I’m Candace. You by no means met me, however hey, right here’s the wiring directions. We want you to… If you go to the financial institution as we speak, right here’s what you’re going to ship. Or whenever you go, right here it’s.” And it’s not the directions from the title firm. It’s their very own account that you just’re sending the cash to. Or, such as you talked about, they’ll ship you an electronic mail that appears like ACME Title company-

Rob:
Wow.

David:
… that claims, “Hey, right here’s your wiring directions. Ship it right here.” And you don’t have any thought. So us as brokers, that is so frequent that we must confirm with our consumers, “Yeah, that is the actual factor that you ought to be sending.” You nearly need to get all people on the cellphone on the similar time and say, “Yep, that is the title rep. That is the right…” It’s very straightforward for this to occur, and there’s no recourse. The place do you go to say, “That’s not truthful?” Is there an insurance coverage firm that’s going to cowl you? Is the federal government going to cowl you? You simply misplaced the $600,000.

Teresa:
So individuals don’t understand however the title firm’s on the hook for. That title is extra than simply title insurance coverage on the home. Really it covers the entire transaction and the wire fraud that occurs.

David:
In order that signifies that your title turns into costlier as a result of they need to cowl their losses when these items occur.

Sheila:
So you’ve wire fraud. You may have [inaudible] fraud. Teresa and I had a scenario the place we all know somebody {that a} piece of land acquired offered and came upon that that particular person promoting the land wasn’t truly the proprietor. The true proprietor confirmed up on the courthouse to pay their taxes, they usually stated, “Properly, you offered that land.” And so they’re like, “What? What are you speaking about? I didn’t promote that piece of land.” You even have people who current on foreclosures that they personal that foreclosures maintain open homes and promote a home that’s in foreclosures that they don’t personal. There’s so some ways individuals defraud different individuals.
So a few of the issues that we’re engaged on are verification of the human, verification of the paperwork that human owns that asset. We’ve the flexibility with completely different firms… We haven’t carried out all of it, however we have now the flexibility to do bifacial scans, hand scans, methods to confirm that your identification is really your identification, and the way will we just be sure you are the true proprietor? As a result of we had somebody that made a driver’s license, made all the data displaying that they have been the proprietor of that property, and defunct the title firm as a result of that they had despatched a notary that they weren’t within the title firm.
I imply, it’s simply such an enormous drawback at so many ranges that when you’ve an immutable ledger, primary, you’ve a document of possession which you can then safe greater than every other approach. I’m not going to say it’s not hackable as a result of, sadly, with plenty of the sensible individuals on this world which might be fraudsters, I’m certain they’re engaged on methods to interrupt via blockchain. In order a lot as potential, presently, it’s the most safe strategy to forestall these items on an immutable ledger and to validate the human and to validate the asset.
And when you concentrate on what we’re going to have the ability to do to thrust back or forestall or hopefully lower the fraud in all the completely different ways in which we’ve mentioned, it is a enormous, enormous profit to the customers and to the trade and to our economic system from all of those individuals robbing individuals on each stage. After which the brand new Fed Rail that Teresa talked about that simply got here out this week, that’s immediate settlement. So lots of people suppose in the event that they ship a wire that their cash’s gone, that they don’t have to fret.
And that’s not true. So if you happen to ship a Zelle, there’s nonetheless a delay. Should you ship a PayPal, there’s nonetheless a delay. There’s an opportunity for somebody to steal that. The place on the Fed Rail, they’re attaching your financial institution to that title firm immediately, and it’s speedy. So with the Fed Rail, the purpose is to have the ability to forestall the fraud as a result of it’s instantaneous from the federal authorities and the banking establishment to that title firm. That’s the purpose.

David:
So if I’m listening to you gals appropriately, there’s two completely different issues that we’re discussing right here. One is the precise details about the property itself that will probably be saved on this blockchain. The opposite is a type of identification verification that may cease the fraud, and Consortia gives each.

Teresa:
Sure, you’re appropriate. Sure.

David:
Okay. The rest that this excellent product is providing? Can it additionally slice and cube and make Julienne fries?

Rob:
I additionally need to simply say actually shortly on the wire fraud factor. I’m truly actually glad that y’all are speaking about actually this particular drawback as a result of I’ll say that each time that I shut on a property they usually ship me the wire directions, they usually say, “Please name us earlier than you wire it,” I’m at all times just a little aggravated as a result of like I can learn the account quantity.

David:
Now you understand why they’re doing that.

Rob:
Now I do know why. Yeah. I imply, I do it each time as a result of they are saying to do it’s at all times in daring exclamation marks, and you bought to hearken to that.

David:
And also you suppose you’re doing them a favor. You’re like, “Effective, I’ll name you guys. Robuilt, hey, that is me. Are you cheerful now?” Having no thought what they have been saving you from.

Rob:
And so they’re like, “Sure. Are you able to ship 10,000 extra?”

Sheila:
And also you carry up an excellent level, Rob as a result of that is the opposite factor that occurs that Teresa has introduced up up to now to me is that… And since we have now plenty of traders listening, it is a actually essential level. When you have paid money in your asset, it’s simpler for them to steal.
So Teresa has associates, and she or he has suggested me to have a small mortgage on the asset as a result of it’s more durable to steal it if it has a mortgage as a result of if you happen to suppose it’s cleared, if it’s cleared and I’m not checking on that title standing, and I’m not… I don’t have checks and balances that I’ve in place to ensure if someone’s pinging or doing one thing or making an attempt to create fraud on that, what am I doing to ensure I’m defending that asset? And a lender, if there’s a mortgage, the lender must be contacted so as to remedy the mortgage so as to launch that asset.

David:
Proper. Proper. After which you need to signal paperwork that say, “Sure, repay the mortgage to the lender.” So this has occurred to me earlier than. I personal properties free and clear that folks have stolen, and that’s precisely one of many ones that’s in a position to occur is-

Sheila:
Oh my goodness.

David:
… you usually would have an additional stage of communication the place a lender would say, even when it’s a $10 word or no matter, “Hey, do you need to repay this $10? What? What are you speaking about?” That alerts you that someone is transferred title or is within the means of that from you to another person, which occurred to me at a fairly large scale a few years in the past, and it truly created absolute chaos in my life for the previous few years.

Teresa:
Oh, no.

David:
It triggered plenty of huge issues, and I used to be amazed at how straightforward it was to do. And after I went to the precise county and stated, “Hey, don’t let any of those properties switch to anybody else.” The worker’s actually are like, “We will’t. In the event that they present up with a deed, we’re going to document it. There’s no purple flag system. There’s nothing you are able to do to cease this. That’s simply the way in which the system works.” And that may be a nice piece of recommendation. There’s additionally, I’ll add, not that you just guys want me so as to add to it, however when there’s not plenty of fairness in a property, there may be much less incentive for somebody to attempt to steal it as a result of a mortgage’s going to need to be paid off.
So [inaudible] you typically hear paying off properties, that’s the most secure strategy to make investments, however in sure conditions, it’s not. I really like your suggestion there. Have a small lien on the property. However you guys are additionally addressing this proven fact that we have now an archaic system of transferring properties. Have we acquired into but, or would you guys like to speak about simply when there may be title insurance coverage that must be issued, you should purchase a property, and 6 months later, you’re nonetheless paying for title insurance coverage when nothing has occurred within the final six months, and it’s the very same quantity? Have you ever guys type of taken that into consideration?

Teresa:
We truly partnered with a title insurance coverage firm that means that you can have a title coverage that’s energetic or good for 4 years. In order that’s nice if you happen to’re house-flipping. That’s obtainable via Boston Nationwide Title. So if you happen to guys need to preserve that within the present or edit that out however that’s one of many uncommon instances the place I’ve seen one thing that’s simply very pro-investor, pro-consumer, and actually saves on prices there. So I believe that’s a fairly cool characteristic.

Rob:
I imply, the way in which I’ve at all times considered title insurance coverage, possibly I’ve been viewing it flawed, is you’re shopping for a property, you get the title insurance coverage to make it possible for the proprietor of the property is definitely the proprietor and that you just’re truly proudly owning the property and every thing like that. Why would you want it for 4 to 6 years after that?

Teresa:
Properly, if you happen to’re going to flip the property, then there’s… you’re going to wish that title insurance coverage for the subsequent buy and sale. And so you may form of… by utilizing that very same firm and the coverage, they’ve achieved plenty of the work. So it’s straightforward for them to proceed the coverage as a result of each time you turn firms, they need to do the analysis from begin to end.
We’ve been very well-schooled up on the title trade due to the character of blockchain tying into title. So there’s simply so many nuances. I believe we’ve gone via two years of education with our pal TJ Harrington about title, and simply grew to become… he grew to become an advisor to us after which we grew to become an advisor to their Blackstone portfolio of firms.

Sheila:
I believe the opposite factor, Rob, that lots of people, particularly traders, don’t take into consideration as a result of I’ve had so many traders say, “Properly, I don’t want title coverage. I’m paying money or no matter. I don’t want that. I’m simply going to purchase and maintain or purchase and flip.” However individuals don’t understand there’s two kinds of title insurance policies. One goes to be the coverage that covers the lender. That if you happen to, by probability, foreclosed, the lender is ready to file that insurance coverage declare and get their a reimbursement. The second is the proprietor’s title coverage that will cowl you.
And so proprietor’s title, coverage, the title firm does a search from the final time a good title firm did a search of the property, up till now, they usually cowl you in case someone comes again in opposition to the property. And this is essential when you concentrate on. I used to be within the growth enterprise earlier than I grew to become a dealer, and I constructed plenty of houses for a big nationwide builder. That builder went bankrupt, and all the trades put liens on each property within the neighborhood as a result of they weren’t paid by the builder. And none of these individuals may promote their homes as a result of they needed to remedy these liens on their properties earlier than they may promote.
So title coverage would then cowl you if you happen to have been a home-owner if you happen to had title coverage to be sure to have been protected in opposition to any liens from builders or whoever that attempted to be filed in opposition to your property. After which it covers you into the longer term as properly, like Teresa talked about. And so whenever you go to flip that property, and even if you happen to’re holding that property, it offers you protection because the proprietor. So I might by no means, as an investor, purchase a property with out title insurance coverage ever. Simply that little bit of cash you spend is so value it for the peace of thoughts that something that occurs, you’re coated, and the title firm’s on the hook to remedy that.

Rob:
Wow. Okay. So that you talked about, all proper, so there’s the title insurance coverage profit. I imply, there’s lots. You additionally talked about type of the monetary automation in that if you happen to ship a Zelle, it might take a very long time, however on a ledger within the blockchain, it may be lots quicker. Does that additionally affect how briskly one may truly shut on the property?
As a result of clearly, with title firms being just a little bit extra archaic, you need to work round their older programs. The truth that they aren’t open on weekends. The truth that they shut at 4 or 5:00 PM There’s plenty of issues with title firms that I’m at all times like, “Okay, I suppose I’m in your time.” However does the blockchain clear up any of that?

Teresa:
Properly, I believe the brand new cost rails actually clear up this subject of the closing timeline, and it’s as a result of the cost is made securely, safely. All events are verified going into it. And that is with one in every of our associate firms known as Paymints like mints, like gum, paymints.io, they usually’re working with Fed as a result of their financial institution is on board with FedNow. So the primary 50 banks simply launched with FedNow yesterday. So the profit right here is all of the events have been verified, after which that cash settles immediately.
So, for instance, Sheila and I are ready for a wire that was initiated on Monday. I truly need to go examine and see if it truly hit. I believe that wire is misplaced. That’s superior. Nobody’s as involved as possibly we must be that the wire is simply lacking. So as an alternative of that annoying query that brokers and brokers at all times ask of the title division, we at all times ask this, “Did the wire hit? Did the wire hit?” Identical to Sheila and I are asking, “Did the wire hit?” That subject goes away as a result of we’ll immediately know if the cash was deposited. Was it despatched and initiated? Was it obtained?
So then if that occurs, say, the morning of, we will go to the closing window on the county assessor’s workplace, the county recorder’s workplace, and go and document and shut the deal. And that makes an enormous distinction. It makes a distinction to the lenders as a result of the lenders are paying curiosity per diem, which will get rolled right down to the patron. Then that Friday closing, nobody ought to ever shut on a Friday. By no means write that into your buy settlement. “We’re going to shut on Friday, July twenty first.” Unhealthy thought. So that you by no means shut on a Friday as a result of if you happen to miss that window, your shoppers are homeless for a weekend.

Rob:
Oh, yeah.

Teresa:
After which they need to take off work throughout the subsequent week to go transfer into their home. After which their little youngsters don’t have any place to put their head at night time and eat breakfast. After which the realtor will get his name saying, “Are you going to pay for my resort since you missed closing?” Who pays for that, proper? The buyer does. So this removes plenty of that friction that occurs within the transaction simply due to the wire. Did the wire make it?

Rob:
I don’t suppose that concern ever goes away. I’ve despatched a number of wires simply final week, and I despatched them out early very first thing within the morning earlier than the cutoff, and the individuals known as me, they usually have been like, “It’s not right here but at 3:00 PM.” And I used to be like, “Oh no, I ought to have known as and verified.” No, I’m simply kidding. I’m at all times like, “Oh, what am I going to do?” And it at all times finally ends up hitting, however there’s a little inconsistency there with wire, so I’m glad to listen to that.
Whereas with blockchain-type stuff, significantly some crypto. I’m not going to essentially get into that. That’s much more instantaneous as a result of it’s on the ledgers. In order that, to me, looks like a really, superb use case. You talked about just a little bit earlier that the title insurance coverage, you see some individuals not getting insurance coverage, and that’s a very huge mistake. I can see that now. However are there every other errors that you just see actual property traders making now on this planet of transactions of properties?

Sheila:
I believe it is dependent upon the investor. It is dependent upon their expertise. It is dependent upon whether or not they’re already educated as knowledgeable within the trade, or they’re simply coming into it straight out of the gate as somebody who’s simply serious about buying actual property as a result of, for any of us who’ve been in it some time, there’s lots to be taught.
And you can also make errors by shopping for too excessive. You may make errors by not assessing the price of repairs. You may make errors by overbuilding for the neighborhood. You may make… I imply, I may go on and on and on in regards to the errors traders make. And so yeah, that will be an entire present by itself to be sincere with you.

Rob:
Yeah. So what are a few of the merchandise that you just guys provide that you just’ve developed particularly for the traders and customers? Since you talked in regards to the use case, particularly within the banking world, proper. You’re serving to the secondary markets. The lenders approve of the property situations earlier than they’re taking over these new loans and every thing. Is there something because it pertains on this planet extra simply on a smaller scale for the investor client?

Teresa:
Yeah. So if you happen to go to ReConsortia proper now and also you’re a client, you mint your property token. We simply cost the price of minting the token. We’ll do a free property tax lookup so that you can see if your own home is eligible for property tax financial savings. The common quantity of the financial savings is $4,600. And that work, that enchantment work, is finished at no cost upfront after which paid for upon success. And there’s 93% success price. In order that is only one instance of product that’s layered into Consortia.
I believe my mic minimize out for a second. That’s simply one of many merchandise that’s layered into Consortia. One other one is an equipment inspection report. In order that equipment inspection report will inform you precisely the standing of your equipment if there have been any remembers, and the helpful lifetime of that equipment. So now, as a client… And all these merchandise are supposed to assist the patron in occasions like this, the place everybody’s making an attempt to save cash. In order a client, do I am going and repair my washer, or do I simply go purchase a brand new one?
That’s form of you’re enjoying Russian roulette with your personal checkbook on a regular basis. Like, “I don’t know what to do. How would I do know what’s… We’re debating that, proper.” Properly, sooner or later, there’s a breaking level the place you say, “I’m simply going to go to Dwelling Depot or Lowe’s, and I’m going to go purchase that new equipment as a result of it’s not value it to spend that service payment of 250 or $500 to restore this merchandise.” And so, that’s simply one other instance of what we’re constructing into the system. That’s there. When you unlock and also you get into the system, all these goodies for the patron are there.

Sheila:
And it’s home equipment and main mechanicals. So we included in that HVAC, and it’s the helpful life. I believe David talked about this earlier within the present. What’s the helpful life? If I’m a purchaser and I’m a property, you should use this expertise and scan all of the home equipment, the new water heater, the HVAC. We even included {the electrical} panel. We needed to ensure all the key mechanicals we may have been included as a result of that’s an enormous deal whenever you’re shopping for a house, and all of the traders on right here may use this as a result of then they may see, “Properly, am I going to have to switch that merchandise or is there a approach or cheaper for me to restore it to have the ability to resell this property?”
That’s extremely helpful to traders or customers. After which, for a vendor, it’s actually good for them to know what’s occurring of their residence so then they are often ready for negotiations. When somebody comes of… So they might ask me to switch this, or I have to be ready. And it truly tells you the age since you’re scanning the barcode. So it truly offers you the precise age of that equipment based mostly on the barcode of when it was produced. After which it offers you the estimate of what’s the helpful life or what number of years left. And so, as a vendor, it’s truly very useful as properly.

Teresa:
However wait-

Rob:
Okay.

Teresa:
… there’s extra. There’s residence warranty-

Rob:
Ooh.

Teresa:
… that’s rolling out for $100. Should you’ve achieved this, we name it the AIR report, or that was redundant, the AIR on the home equipment, Equipment Inspection Report. So as soon as that’s achieved, $100 for residence guarantee, which is superb, particularly if you happen to’re an investor that’s in September.

David:
So that you’re saying that the house guarantee is cheaper if you happen to can present that the issues are much less prone to have to be changed?

Teresa:
Precisely. So whenever you purchase residence guarantee, you simply decide a package deal. I’m going to purchase the silver, the gold or the platinum package deal. What does that imply? They don’t know something about what’s inside my home. So one in every of my finest associates in the entire world. He’s the managing associate on the funding financial institution. I used to be an fairness associate at a world funding financial institution.
So he purchased the founding father of Pixar his home. Each equipment he owns is like $10,000 or $20,000. So how does that insurance coverage firm know what their underwriting in Charles’s home? They do not know. However if you happen to can truly doc that is Teresa’s home the place each equipment was constructed… was purchased from Dwelling Depot on a weekend particular, like open field particular, you understand the chance is considerably much less. And I believe that info is gold to the insurance coverage firms.

David:
So how lengthy earlier than it turns into, “Properly, we all know this demographic of individuals runs their dishwasher each two days as an alternative of every single day, so it’s going to have 14% extra helpful life than someone else’s.” You may see how huge information making their approach into houses is simply a matter of time as a result of it’s inefficient.
A house guarantee prices what it prices due to all of the individuals which might be going to make use of it whenever you don’t. These inefficiencies create issues being costlier than they might usually be. And I can see that what you guys try to place collectively is one thing that may clear up for a few of these inefficiencies and total carry the price of all of this down. So what about hire rolls? Is that one thing that Consortia is engaged on as properly?

Sheila:
Oh, my goodness.

Teresa:
That’s humorous. How’d you understand that?

Sheila:
Oh my goodness.

Teresa:
Sure. Sure. Look, there’s one thing coming. It’s known as the Central Financial institution Digital Foreign money. Yeah, we’re engaged on that. It’s coming. I believe in Europe, they’re simply a lot extra progressive. They’re centuries older than us, 1000’s of years older than us, than our economic system right here.
However they’re simply extra progressive in each approach, and it’s simply frequent information that there’s one thing new that’s coming within the forex there, and all of that is clear there. And yeah, we’re constructing for that over in Europe, and we’re going to carry that right here. In order that’s a part of our work with the Federal Reserve to map out what that appears like.

Rob:
Properly, I really like all of this. And I imply, it looks like y’all are pioneering plenty of what I contemplate to be the way forward for actual property. I’m on board. Clearly, somebody like David is on board. We will see the advantages of it. However I’m questioning since you talked about how the actual property foyer is, I believe, what, the fifth largest or prime 5…

Teresa:
Title.

Rob:
… title.

Teresa:
Title NAR is the most important lobbying power on Capitol Hill, which is a Nationwide Affiliation of Realtors. Consortia is an NAR portfolio firm, not by mistake.

Rob:
Bought it. Okay. That’s what I used to be going to ask as a result of it does sound like you’re disrupting lots. And so, on condition that title firms on this world tends to be just a little bit extra archaic, what’s the precise adoption of this entire factor trying like? It appears like, truthfully, I’m impressed that y’all are in a position to do that, however is it one thing that’s met with a ton of opposition from 99.9% of the actual property neighborhood?

Sheila:
No, truly, Teresa and I have been on a gathering this previous week with all of the heads of the most important title firms in America presenting this.

Rob:
And what did they are saying?

Sheila:
Properly, you’ve a number of individuals, like each group, which might be pushing again, that don’t perceive it, which might be scared. After which, you’ve all people else saying, “I need to do that. I’m going to name you after the decision.”

Rob:
Oh, okay.

Sheila:
So I believe everybody realizes there must be a change. I believe David talked about earlier in regards to the archaic system that has by no means modified because the starting of actual property.

Rob:
Proper. Proper.

Sheila:
And we’re truly bringing about all of that change. So we’ve met with everybody from the White Home to senators to governors to all the key gamers in every a part of the area, to all the info firms which might be information items which might be lacking within the information that will be priceless to capital markets or secondary markets. And we have already got all of it truly in place, and we’re launching.
I imply, we’ve launched a part of it, however we’re launching the subsequent section of it proper now. So it’s already stay. We’re already doing this, and we have now international locations which have signed with us. We’re constructing merchandise for various international locations. So this isn’t a small challenge, which is why we’re concerned with the White Home and the Federal Reserve, as a result of nobody else that we’ve met wherever on this planet has considered or constructed what we have now constructed.

Rob:
Okay. Yeah. So the adoption actually is just not as sluggish as one would suppose.

Sheila:
No. We thought it might take us 5 extra years.

Teresa:
Yeah.

Rob:
That’s fairly spectacular.

Teresa:
So it took a sizzling second, not as a result of individuals opposed something that we’ve proposed, particularly right here on this podcast. As you may see, extra transparency helps all people from traders, capital markets to the patron. In order that wasn’t the opposition. It was extra of humanity getting their arms and their brains round this concept of a spreadsheet.
Though spreadsheets and ledgers have been round since 500 AD from the YAP Islands. That’s a captivating story, and credit score to our enterprise associate over within the UK for educating us that. It’s only a matter of individuals being okay and cozy with this concept, and right here we’re as we speak. So it’s now selecting up steam. I believe Sheila joined the corporate, after which individuals have been like, “Wait, Sheila? Sheila, who did $50 billion of enterprise final yr, she’s been within the firm now? We get it. Okay.”

Rob:
Wow. Okay. Yeah. So I suppose it’s not essentially changing title firms, and also you guys did point out that at the start of the podcast. It’s extra like, I don’t know, a supplementary service or a strategy to form of bolster and make the companies of a title firm stronger and extra trendy.

Sheila:
Simply to be clear, we aren’t changing anybody. We’re merely the platform. We’re transferring information. That’s it. We’re the copper piping that’s transferring the info from one group to a different group. Besides as an alternative of us getting one… having one focus, like many tech firms, you meet give attention to one piece of product or one product, they usually’re very siloed. Teresa and I are literally bringing all of them collectively. Take into consideration constructing a metropolis, and we’re the muse, and all these completely different firms are constructed on Consortia, making their information obtainable to run via our piping to the opposite firms which might be serious about that information.

David:
Type of like what Elon Musk talks about his plan for Twitter. He needs it to be the app that everybody goes to for principally every thing.

Sheila:
Precisely.

David:
It’s a approach of creating it straightforward for the tip consumer or the capital markets to have a spot that we go to. There’s so many issues in life that want one thing like that. Simply once more, after I was in legislation enforcement, it was superb what number of completely different information programs that we had for warrants. The dispatchers must run the identical particular person’s info via 4 or 5 completely different programs generally, and the stuff would slip via the cracks as a result of there’s not one place you would go to.
I at all times questioned why you couldn’t have a database the place all of the warrants are. So if someone killed somebody, we may discover it out faster. But it surely’s very tough when it makes everybody’s jobs more durable. Now, the tougher it’s, the extra individuals need to be employed to do it, the extra they need to cost for his or her time and their danger, the extra that that will get handed on to the tip consumer. So I can see how priceless that is. You’ve clearly been constructing this firm with a protracted future in thoughts. What do you see for the longer term when it comes to forex?

Rob:
Identical to just a little gentle query there for the tip of the podcast.

Teresa:
Thanks, David, for the heavy, heavy. So every thing goes digital. Customers have already voted with their cash, pun meant. We’ve adopted Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, all of the Braintree firms which might be on the market. We already do this. We anticipate on-line banking. We anticipate immediate settlement. Like what we have been complaining about earlier, just like the hiccup in title and shutting, we’re spoiled, and we requested for it. We requested for forex to maneuver quicker. And so right here we go. The central banks of the world are issuing that. So all of this exists now. It’s simply changing into extra clear and extra clear. So it’s going to come back out in two alternative ways, this new forex.
It’s going from the highest down, which is, for instance, actual property, massive transaction gadgets, and it’s going to be a flood-up impact, which is from the customers who’re receiving social welfare, the underbanks, the unbanked individuals, the individuals utilizing examine cashing. So all these people who find themselves… Do you know individuals who pay for examine cashing spend as much as a 3rd of their revenue, a 3rd of their top-line income simply to get entry to maneuver cash? That’s insane to me. These are the poorest of the poor. And so we’re fixing for thus many social points, social justice points, and we’ve already requested for it. We’re already on bank cards. It’s simply the subsequent iteration of that. I believe what we have now to watch out about is what’s reality and what’s fiction.
There’s plenty of fiction, for instance, that’s on Twitter proper now about what all these things will do. And I do suppose we’d like extra readability from the Federal Reserve. And Consortia’s push the Federal Reserve for extra info for customers to make it possible for this transition actually occurs with no hitch, with out inflicting civil unrest and concern on the market within the economic system. So it’s been fairly an honor for us to be a part of that dialog and to then share what we all know of the way it’s going to vary economics and the transference of cash with most of the people.

Sheila:
Can I add a few issues to that? Primary, I don’t suppose most individuals understand. A lot of the world doesn’t have banking. Most individuals on this planet don’t have the flexibility to have a financial institution as a result of they will’t afford it. However oddly sufficient, most individuals have a mobile phone. So the flexibility to transact in your cellphone with digital forex goes to vary the world, Teresa talked about, social economically since you’re going to have plenty of these unbanked individuals with the ability to now have financial institution accounts via their telephones that they didn’t have the flexibility to have prior to now, primary.
Quantity two, Teresa was mentioning the Fed, and one of many issues we’ve talked to them about particularly is the training that we’re working with them on to push via NAR via the whole actual property neighborhood and to customers as a result of individuals are scared about what they don’t know. And it was superior to listen to the gentleman who helped… We’re working with the a number of Fed workplaces across the nation who’re concerned on this challenge and the one that is operating it and created it out of Boston. And one of many issues that we have been instructed by one of many heads of the Chicago Fed is that the banks requested for this. That we created this as a result of plenty of the smaller neighborhood banks or the impartial banks couldn’t compete with the large boys within the companies they provided or the payment charges that they provided as a result of they didn’t have the scale and the cash and the programs to have the ability to compete.
So that is going to stage the enjoying floor for all the different banks across the nation to have the ability to provide the companies and provide the charges so that folks aren’t overcharged to stage the enjoying floor between the large boys and the smaller individuals. So we beloved figuring out that the Fed is doing this, once more, as a result of they’re making an attempt to serve all people. They’re making an attempt to ensure everybody has entry. Everybody can have a checking account. Everybody may be protected and transfer cash shortly. So I believed that that was essential to say.

David:
Properly, women, thanks in your time as we speak, Sheila. If anyone needs to succeed in out or be taught extra about you, the place can they go?

Sheila:
Properly, they will attain out to Teresa and I on reconsortia.com, R-E-C-O-N-S-O-R-T-I-A.com. Or you may Immediate Message us on Fb or Instagram. We’re on all of these platforms as properly. However most likely reaching out to us via Consortia is the best and quickest strategy to get ahold of us.
