Mortgage Lender or Broker

Mortgage Lenders and Brokers are ideal candidates for starting their own title company

Rising interest rates, declining origination volumes, and margin compression are genuine concerns facing almost every mortgage lender. The TitleEase Franchise System is an attractive and viable RESPA compliant alternative to a more traditional title company Joint Venture and is a terrific way for residential and commercial lenders to diversify their businesses while increasing margins on each transaction and enhancing customer relationships. With a TitleEase Franchise, lenders of all types now have a streamlined, effective, and most importantly, a turnkey system to start, own and operate their own title company.

As a lender, the TitleEase Franchise System will allow you to capture another vertical in the real estate value chain and organically grow your revenue to help combat margin compression and declining origination volumes in a rising rate environment. Further, in a declining interest-rate environment, or when third-party title vendor resources are scarce, the TitleEase Franchise System enables you to provide your customers quality and timely service. As a lender, you spend a lot of time, energy, and money on customer acquisition. Owning a title company franchise helps you manage all aspects of your customer’s experience by integrating and better controlling two essential elements of the mortgage transaction – title and closing.

Why you should start your title company as a franchisee

You know that starting any business is hard enough without worrying about navigating through the logistics associated with a regulated industry. TitleEase has worked closely with nationally recognized compliance law firms to identify and address each and every compliance detail at the state and national level. Using these resources, we have developed customized project plans that outline a clear path to opening your title company, whether it be in a single state or multiple states.

Once you are open and operating you can rely on our continued support and involvement every step of the way. From underwriter approval to leading technology, expert coaching and training, and back-office title production, we are here to support your success and growth. As a franchisee, you receive all these benefits at a lower cost than building it yourself from scratch, and the TitleEase System is fully scalable and makes it possible to grow your title business and quickly expand into new markets.
