Capitol Title, Closeline Settlements and Monarch Title Announce Strategic Alliance Platform
Rockville, MD (May 2015) – Capitol Title, Closeline Settlements and Monarch Title today announce the formation of TitleConnect, a strategic alliance and partnership platform for title agents. TitleConnect follows a cooperative format and enables title company practitioners to retain their independence and continue to compete in today’s climate, ripe with evolving regulatory and technology challenges. Some noted benefits of the alliance include compliance assistance and support for ALTA Best Practices preparation, centralized IT support, HR administration and accounting, and access to title and escrow licensing in more than 40 states.
“The title business has become exceedingly difficult to navigate, especially for smaller title agents. There is an increasing pace of regulatory changes and constant challenges relating to data security and fraud prevention,” said Elliot Liss, President of Closeline. “The TitleConnect alternative provides forward thinking title practitioners with the benefits that allow them to move their businesses into the future.”
The TitleConnect alliance now creates one of the largest title platforms in the DC metro area. With 18 offices spread across Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC, the collaborative companies can better service their clients by utilizing any closing location within the TitleConnect network. Additionally, the alliance allows for the opportunity to provide other streamlined services for both residential and commercial transactions. The focus continues to be on delivering the highest level of customer services and title expertise to real estate agents, lenders, builders, developers and consumers.
“The formation of TitleConnect and the opportunities that are built into its platform represent a unique alternative for the title industry,” said Stuart Orns, President of Monarch Title.
Stan Goldstein, President of Capitol Title adds, “With the increased efficiencies and economies of scale in staffing, purchasing, technical support and administrative support, we are better able to provide our clients and customers with settlement services that exceed their expectations. When those goals are realized, growth surely follows.”
The TitleConnect alliance is actively seeking other title agents and agencies across multiple states to join the expanding network. For more information, please visit www.titleconnect.com.
