Revenue model

1. Title Insurance Premiums: One-time premium for title insurance policies (both lender's and owner's coverage) paid at closing. Premium is directly related to the value of the property. The company offers Old Republic title insurance products. In all-inclusive counties (Knox, Davidson, Hamilton, Rutherford, Williamson), the gross premium is a single fee including search, examination, and risk assumption. In risk-rate counties (89 out of 95 Tennessee counties), search and examination fees are charged separately from the risk rate fee.
2. Settlement/Closing Services: Professional settlement services for real estate transactions including document collection, closing facilitation, and escrow services. Acts as central clearinghouse for all parties involved in closings.
3. Title Search and Examination: Detailed examination of historical public records including deeds, court records, property and name indices, birth, death and marriage certificates. Performed in risk-rate counties where title agents charge search and examination fees separately.
4. Real Estate Document Preparation: Preparation and review of purchase and sale agreements, loan documentation, leases, quitclaim deeds, and other closing documents.
