LINKS

www.fanniemae.com
This is the home page for Fannie Mae, from which you can locate all of the forms necessary to document Fannie Mae transactions

www.freddiemac.com
This is the home page for Freddie Mac, from which, among other matters, you can download the forms you need to document the various loan programs administered by Freddie Mac

www.capitalconsortium.org
This site is the home page of the Capital Consortium, a federation of the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, the Real Estate Roundtable, the National Association of Realtors, the Bond Market Association and the Commercial Mortgage Securities Association. This site gives access to forms used for securitized lending and also provides links to other information regarding securitized lending issues.

The above sites were sent to us by John Hastie (jdhastie@hastielaw.com) of Andrews Davis Legg Bixler Milsten & Price, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (www.andrewsdavis.com)

www.deedchecker.com
This is called "Deed Checker", and it allows anyone to test their legal descriptions for closure, misdirections and other defects. It will also provide the user with other related information. This is a fee-for-services site, but in a pinch it can be very helpful. (our reference of this site is NOT an endorsement of the site or the company to whom it belongs by the ABA or the RPPT Section).

The following sites are general information sites. Most people are familiar with the traditional web-search engines (www.altavista.com, www.yahoo.com, google and the like). Those sites are limited in that they only search what is on web pages. The following sites can take you deeper into information sources (some call it the "invisible web") and let you find more detailed and extensive information (and information is certainly a key to much of what we do as attorneys in assisting our clients).
