Virtually, Strategic Solutions
About Cheryl Piper
Cheryl Piper is an independent transaction coordinator with Virtually, Strategic Solutions working with California agents and brokers in California. A transaction coordinator keeps a deal on track from acceptance to close: opening escrow, tracking contingency and disclosure deadlines, chasing signatures, and making sure every required document — including the Natural Hazard Disclosure — is in the file on time.
Verity NHD gives coordinators a fast way to order California NHD reports for their clients: bill it to escrow, pay by card, or send the seller a pay link, with eSign included on every report. More at our transaction coordinator page.
Common questions in California
- Can a transaction coordinator bill the NHD report to escrow?
- Yes — ordering through Verity NHD lets a coordinator bill the report directly to the escrow file, charge a card, or send the seller a pay link, without carrying the cost themselves.
- What slows down disclosure packages the most?
- Missing or late natural hazard disclosures are one of the most common holdups coordinators run into near contingency deadlines — ordering the NHD report on day one avoids that.
- Does the seller need to sign anything separately for the hazard report?
- No — the report includes eSign, so the coordinator can route it for signature as part of the same disclosure package instead of a separate step.
