By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Real Estate Weekly News -- LERETA, a leading national real estate tax and flood service provider, has created LERETA University, a web-based training platform to support and assist servicers in navigating in-depth tax servicing information.

LERETA University is virtually led by instructors who assist servicers and their staff in real estate-specific tax servicing. Accessed through LERETAnet, the company's existing hub and customer information portal, the LERETA University platform serves as an extension of on-site training and is focused on helping companies avoid risks that are caused by common mistakes and oversights. Inaccuracies in real estate tax servicing have the potential of costing servicers in penalties, interest and property loss not to mention having a negative effect on borrowers.
