ENTITLE DIRECT was created for consumers by consumers to address the high cost
of title insurance and a real estate closing process that keeps people in the
dark. ENTITLE DIRECT offers title insurance direct to consumers at savings of up
to 35% or more compared to traditional title providers. Its unique digital
platform educates and empowers consumers to monitor their home closings and save
on their title insurance. ENTITLE DIRECT`s industry-first Control Panel has a
patent pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Unlike any technology
previously available, the Control Panel provides dynamic, interactive tools such
as the ability to upload and store closing documents, as well as download a
HUD-1 Settlement Statement, and manage other aspects of the closing.
