The Future of Title Companies: Go Digital or Go Extinct
If title companies want to survive, they need to embrace remote online notarization (RON) technology—and fast. The future is digital, and those who don’t adapt will be left behind.
Title companies have relied on in-person notarizations and closings for decades. But in today’s world of working online and where speed is the name of the game, that model no longer works. People want to handle business from the comfort of home.
RON allows people to notarize and sign documents online using live audio-video technology so they can verify identities remotely. Several states have passed laws allowing RON, and more are following suit. The tide is turning.
For title companies, that means rethinking processes and investing in platforms that facilitate RON. It may require an upfront cost, but the long-term benefits are huge:
- Attract tech-savvy customers who prefer digital convenience. Meet people where they are.
- Reduce office space needs and overhead costs. With less in-person activity, there’s less need for physical locations.
- Ensure business continuity even when in-person contact isn’t possible. RON provides more flexibility and security.
- Gain a competitive advantage. Companies that adopt RON first will win more market share.
- Improve the customer experience. RON is fast, easy, and often available 24/7. People will appreciate the streamlined process.
The message is clear: title companies must make RON a priority now or risk becoming obsolete. The future is digital, and it’s time to adapt or be left behind. RON may require an investment, but the cost of not changing with the times is far greater. The choice seems obvious. Embrace technology and thrive, or stick with the status quo and fade away.
How Modern Title Companies Are Embracing Technology
To stay competitive, modern title companies have embraced technology and automation. Gone are the days of sifting through stacks of paper records and documents. Now, it’s all available at the click of a button.
Title companies today use specialized software that provides instant access to county records, tax information, and title history. This allows title searches and examinations to be completed in a fraction of the time. Many title companies also utilize electronic document recording, often called eRecording or RON (Remote Online Notarization), so they can submit and retrieve documents electronically without having to physically visit county offices.
- RON allows buyers, sellers, and notaries to complete and notarize real estate documents online instead of in-person. This streamlines the closing process and reduces risks by requiring real ID authentication as well as storing the video of the session for 10 years. No more coordinating schedules to get all parties together at the closing table, now you can do it from home.
- Title companies also increasingly rely on automated underwriting and artificial intelligence to review title searches, identify risks, and clear potential title issues. This reduces the chance of human error and helps speed up the title clearing process.
- Cloud storage and computing provide access to title records and documents from anywhere. Employees can easily work remotely without disruption. This flexibility and business continuity is especially important in today’s world.
By leveraging technology like RON, automated underwriting, and cloud services, title companies have been able to reduce costs, improve accuracy, enhance the customer experience, and ensure their viability for years to come. The future is digital, and title companies that don’t get on board may get left behind.
