Where it is available

This service is available in every county we cover. Recording practice, municipal search sourcing and local terminology vary by county — select yours for the specifics.

Common questions

How quickly can you turn this around?

Turn time depends on the county and the search package. Municipal searches and county-level returns move at the pace of the agency producing them, and a recording rejection resets that clock. We give you a realistic date at order rather than an optimistic one, and we tell you as soon as something slips.

Who will I actually be dealing with?

A named contact is assigned when the order opens, and you get direct access to the senior examiner on the file. You are not routed through a general queue.

Can you work with my existing title production platform?

In most cases, yes. Orders can be delivered as a structured payload into a production system or CRM rather than as an email. Tell us what you run and we will scope the integration.

What do you need from me to start?

At minimum: the property address and county, the transaction type, and the parties. Everything else — contract, existing deed, payoff information, survey, entity or trust documents — speeds the file up and can be uploaded securely at any point.
