Revenue model

1. Title Insurance: Title insurance policies provide protection against loss due to claims against property ownership. Customers pay a one-time premium at closing for coverage that extends to the buyer and their heirs in the event of future claims.
2. Escrow and Closing Services: Escrow services hold documents and funds during real estate transactions, with closing services finalizing sales through document execution and recording. Revenue is earned through service fees associated with transaction completion.
3. 1031 Exchange Services: Assistance with real property or personal property exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, generating fees for facilitating tax-deferred property exchanges.
4. Limited Lien Searches: Limited lien searches determine if there are unsatisfied judgments against individuals or entities, generating fees for search and report services.
