Advantage Title launches Title365MortgagePress.comAdvantage Title, Title365, title insurance, Michael Tafoya
Founded by a group of leading settlement service veterans and
technology innovators, Advantage Title, the most technologically
advanced nationwide provider of title insurance, settlement, and
default services, has brought to market Title365, a highly
integrated and extremely user-friendly online transaction
management tool for real estate related services. Operating as an
underwritten title agent, Advantage Title employs a refreshingly
efficient centralized processing and fulfillment model that stands
in stark contrast to the technology-stagnant, paper-intensive
systems and time-intensive, manual services commonplace to large,
decentralized competitors.
Residential real estate brokers, mortgage and financial
institutions, asset managers and commercial and independent escrows
can obtain nationwide traditional title insurance, escrow and
closing services, and default services from Advantage Title which
currently has corporate operations in Southern California. Title
insurance policies from Advantage Title are underwritten by Stewart
Title Guaranty Company and First American Title Insurance Company,
two of the country's largest underwriters. "In my mind, Advantage
Title is simply the best in the business. None of our competitors
can match the kind of value proposition, seasoned company
management, and centralized, customer-centric service approach
delivered by our organization," said Michael Tafoya, CEO for
Advantage Title. "Customers old and new are already taking notice;
not only because weve amassed an enviable team of the industry's
most knowledgeable and reliable professionals, but also because
they recognize the superiority of Title365 and how it truly changes
the whole delivery and communication process of real estate-related
settlement services online. In short, were leaving the competition
with a lot of catching up to do."
Launched March 3, 2009 at www.Title365.com, Title365 from
Advantage Title delivers the ultimate in Web-centric transaction
management to effectively facilitate the ordering of real
estate-related services. From instantly opening orders, to
obtaining documents, loan transaction history, real-time status
reports and impressively thorough sales comparables, to utilizing
time-saving communication tools and industry-best mapping
technologies, Title365 provides an unparallel level of online
convenience, intuitive functionality and solid security for title,
escrow and default services.
The technologists behind Title365 introduced the transaction
management standard several years ago by which all others were
judged. Today, with the launch of their significantly improved
creation, Title365, the Advantage Title team has strategically
reanalyzed the ever-changing procurement and management processes
critical to leading real estate and lending professionals and
implemented an exciting offering that employs the very latest
technology, functionality and site usability features.
Title365 enables users to be the beneficiaries of communication
and delivery enhancements, such as the ability to obtain orders in
real-time, which provides customers with the optimized capacity to
receive actual order numbers online instantly and via e-mail as
soon as they are generated so that seamless administration of the
transaction can immediately begin. Unlike other solutions brought
to market, Title365 is integrated into the backend production
system of Advantage Title which eliminates any double data entry
and gives customers a view into the transaction while eliminating
errors. A critical component underscoring client service and
operational efficiency, Title365 matches the workflow of customers
to allow multiple participants within the transaction the ability
to view all transactions.
Unlike many online offerings, Title365 enables users to enter
information directly into the system and provides the ability to
immediately obtain service-related documents online, empowering
customers to quickly secure available documents as soon as they are
completed. The reduction in the transfer of paper results in a more
eco-friendly, timely, and cost-effective alternative in an industry
known for being paper-intensive.
With just a click of a mouse, visitors will have access to
Title365's clean interface, created to simplify adoption by users.
Each Title365 user has a unique, customizable Title365 Dashboard,
containing a list of recent transactions, recently viewed
properties, quick links to major features of the site, and industry
news, which are among a wide array of benefits-delivering features
available to keep users informed. Boasting a more intuitive
experience than other offerings, Title365 provides quicker access
to recently viewed properties, searches, and transactions and
affords users the opportunity to link directly to the new order
process while conducting property research, thus saving time,
raising efficiency and ensuring a truly easy-to-use experience.
Having access to up-to-date, complete property research data is
critical to starting a new transaction for real estate industry
professionals and empowers all parties with the information needed
for internal efficiencies. Powerful property research tools abound
within Title365 that harness the most accurate and thorough data
available. Extensive property details, including characteristics,
ownership, complete sale and loan history as well as tax and
assessment information, are instantly available. Also, highly
advantageous to customers, expansive property summaries, detailed
sales comparables and extensive market analysis can be obtained
instantly online within Title365, ideal for lenders, listing
agents, real estate professionals and consumers looking for a more
complete financial picture. Parcel maps and recorded document
images can be obtained via both standard and advanced search
parameters.
Advantage Title is also providing Title365 customers with
integrated data from relevant, third-party Web destinations visited
most often by professionals and consumers alike, such as Zillow.
The site also boasts powerful tools and aerial imagery integration
for a more complete, realistic view of the issues and dynamics
relating to a neighborhood or region where a transaction property
is located. This high-resolution, visual content has been married
with detailed property research ideal for presentations, property
showcasing and supplementation of plat maps and paper-based
property data so that users can accurately establish the correct
property for which to open an order. Mortgage professionals can
instantaneously determine property value and parcel shape data for
realistic, accurate valuation.
