| Q1- | What makes Close Pak better than other similar closing cost programs? |
| A1- |
Our
programs are customized in a way like no other: |
| Q2- | What if my county, or a county I work in, is not listed? |
| A2- | We are adding counties as time permits and in the order that is most requested. If you would like to subscribe but don't see your county just contact us and let us know. We'll get on it as quick as possible. |
| Q3- | What about accuracy? |
| A3- | We have taken every step we know of to assure the accuracy of the settings and the results of all calculations. As a part of that concern we have set it up so that members can access most all variables and make changes that they feel are necessary for their particular situations. The only settings that cannot be changed are the millage rates, FHA maximum loan amount, and other county related factors. These are set by government offices and are controlled here in our programs by our webmaster. |
| Q4- | How are the tax rates calculated? |
| A4- | Tax rates are calculated using the formula supplied to us by the official offices in the county government. Most counties use what is called Fair Market Value (FMV) as to the value of the property in their formulas. We use the Sales Price you enter in the program in our calculations. Otherwise the formulas are the same. |
| Q5- | Are tax credits a part of the formula for calculating taxes? |
| A5- | Not at this time! Tax credits vary from state to state and, in many cases, from county to county. Therefore, the taxes you see in our programs are estimated taxes on the property as the county/city calculates them without any credits. We are working with each local government to get the exact details on tax credits so we can include them in the near future. As soon as they are implemented we will notify our members and change this question. |

| Q9- | Can the programs be purchased for offline use rather than by online subscription? |
| A9- |
No! That was actually
our original idea but due to the requirement for
consistent updates and other factors we decided
online subscription is best for everyone. By
being online, there are many advantages that could
not be had offline. Here are just some of
them: 1. You can access the program at work, home or anywhere there is an internet connection. 2. Any updates, bugs or other fixes can be quickly handled by us and when corrected they are done so for everyone. 3. Unlike an offline or "off-the-shelf" program, the programs are always "up-to-date". 4. Your subscription covers not only access to the programs but continued maintenance and customer service. 5. The cost of subscription is much less to the user that what you'd have to pay if we sold stand alone programs. |
| Q10- | What is the cost to subscribe? |
| A10- |
There are three subscription
options for Close Pak: 1. For those that want to give it a "trial run" there is the month-to-month option with a rate of $12.95 per month. This option only commits you to one month at a time. It does require you to update your registration and pay every month if you desire to continue with this option. 2. Annual subscription. This option makes it easier on you as well as us so we give a discount on this choice. The annual cost is $131.40 which equals out to $10.95 per month. This option gives you a savings of $24 compared to the month-to-month option. 3. Office Package - This option is available only to companies. Email or Call us for details and costs. |
