FAQ
How do you ensure the website prevents wire fraud?
We implement multi-layered security including mandatory 'Check-the-Calling-Party' banners, integration with identity verification tools like CertifID, and secure portals that never display full wire instructions on a public-facing page.
Does this website sync with our existing Qualia or SoftPro account?
Yes. We specialize in connecting your website's front-end forms directly to your Title Production Software (TPS) via API, allowing for automated order opening and real-time milestone updates for your clients.
Is the website ALTA Best Practices compliant?
Absolutely. We build specifically with ALTA Pillar 2 in mind, ensuring that all lead generation and document intake forms use high-level encryption and follow strict data privacy protocols.
Can the AI chatbot actually answer specific closing questions?
Yes. We train the AI on your specific office protocols, common state-specific closing costs, and general title insurance knowledge so it can handle 80% of routine inquiries without bothering an escrow officer.
What happens if we need to update our title rates?
We build a custom, easy-to-use 'Rate Management' dashboard or integrate with a dynamic rate calculator so you can update your premiums and fees in seconds without needing a developer.
