Alliance Title

What Alliance Title does

Alliance Title Corporation is a privately held, full-service title insurance, escrow, and closing services provider headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, founded in 1997. The company operates 28+ office locations across the Chicagoland metropolitan area (downtown Chicago plus north, northwest, west, and south suburbs spanning Cook, Lake, DuPage, Kane, McHenry, Will, and Kendall counties), anchored by a 10,000+ square-foot headquarters with nine dedicated closing rooms. Alliance Title is underwritten by Fidelity National Title, the nation's largest title insurance company, and received Fidelity's 2013 Top Ten Agent Excellence in Action Award.

The company's product portfolio covers the end-to-end residential and commercial real estate closing workflow. Core offerings include owner's and lender's title insurance policies, escrow and settlement services, and title examination (public-record search and abstract). Specialized offerings extend into construction escrow for new-build projects and the HUD Buyer Select program, where Alliance Title acts as the buyer-selected closing agent for HUD-owned properties. The technology stack consists of a mobile-ready website with online forms for title ordering, refinance orders, closing protection letter requests, policy requests, figure submission, and closing scheduling, plus a downloadable electronic document library containing HUD forms, deeds, affidavits, and attorney/agent documents. Distribution includes the Agent Program, a channel partnership with three dedicated account executives (Jay Jacobson, Jerry Lullo, Adrian Vega) supporting independent title agents who route transactions through Alliance.

The business model is sales-led and referral-driven. Primary customer segments are real estate attorneys, mortgage brokers and lenders, and real estate agents, who generate downstream volume by referring their clients; end customers (home buyers, sellers, and lenders) also order directly via the website or by phone. Revenue is generated transactionally — title insurance policy issuance, escrow transaction fees, settlement/closing fees, title examination professional services fees, and closing protection letter fees — paid by transaction participants on a one-time, per-transaction basis. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; a rate card document is available for direct inquiry, and Illinois title insurance rates are partially state-regulated based on transaction value. Marketing reach spans professional referral partnerships, the Closing Remarks blog, and presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter.
