Network members have access to a national technology platform that manages transactions online with a Web-based workflow platform featuring file tracking, file uploads, open orders, closed orders, and other essential information.
""A national network of local providers is quite a different service offering from the large centralized platforms,"" said Greg Mason, HomeServices of America managing director of title services.
""We believe in the model in which your title work is done by staff familiar with the local property records and the closing is done by professional closers who have knowledge of the transaction documents,"" Mason added.
The network includes large state and regional title companies and title companies affiliated with six of the top 10 real estate brokerages in the country. Network members closed over 500,000 transactions in 2010.
