SingleSource, a provider of title and settlement, valuation, real estate-owned (REO) asset management, property preservation, and document management services, is now offering a Deed in Lieu title product that provides full, state-driven searches at 20, 40 and 60 years. As a result of the ever-increasing pool of REO properties, SingleSource devised a thorough end-to-end Deed in Lieu process and has added team members who specialize in servicing Deed in Lieu transactions.
“One of the biggest challenges servicers face is title transparency and quicker decisioning ability,” says Ed Austin, COO at SingleSource. “Rather than rely exclusively on a current owner search, we go the extra mile to provide servicers with a full product search to help them make informed decisions about properties from the outset of their involvement with transactions.”
As a licensed title insurance agent in 35 states (and expanding), and workshare partnerships in 15, SingleSource offers this service nationwide.
