EnTitle Insurance Co., which has been underwriting title insurance for 30 years and is rated A by Demotech, has developed a digital platform — Entitle Direct — designed to educate and empower consumers to monitor their home closings and save on their title insurance.
In South Carolina, Entitle Direct said, its premium rates are 35 percent lower than those offered by other title insurance companies in the state. Typically, title insurance companies and their agents work directly with Realtors, attorneys or lenders, who order the title search and title insurance on a customer’s behalf early in the closing process. This insurance is required by virtually every lender before it will lend money for either purchases or refinances, and the consumer pays for the insurance at closing, according to Entitle Direct.
At Entitle Direct, consumers can monitor their closing process on a daily basis using the Control Panel, which has a patent pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. It provides interactive tools such as the ability to upload and store closing documents, as well as download a HUD-1. Consumers also can use the Control Panel to communicate with other parties involved in the closing process and store important messages, in addition to utilizing a checklist, contact list, task list, notes and a calendar.
