Revenue model

1. Title Insurance Premiums: Title insurance is sold as a one-time premium at closing, providing protection for as long as the property is owned. The company issues both owner's title policies (protecting homeowners) and mortgagee's/lender's title policies. Pricing is less than 1% of the purchase price of the property and less than 10% of total closing costs.
2. Escrow Services: The company acts as an escrow agent for deposits between buyers and sellers during real estate transactions. Fees are based on the sales price of the property, loan amount, and services required.
3. Settlement Services: Preparation and attendance at closing, document preparation, recording fees, and coordination of the closing process. Services include scheduling settlement, preparing notices, reviewing and explaining documents, and recording deeds and mortgages.
4. Abstracting Services: Compilation of title history from county records including abstracts of title, registered property abstracts, 40-year tract searches, owners and encumbrance reports, and property tax information.
5. Lien Searches: Parcel register searches to reveal property ownership, transfer history, registered mortgages, easements, encumbrances, and current liens on a property.
6. Property Surveys: Surveys of current or new properties outlining measurements, boundaries, structures, and improvements such as easements, pools, and fences.
7. Document Preparation: Preparation of transaction documents for real estate purchases and sales, including electronic copies and secure storage of all signed documents.

Broad incumbents

• First American Title Insurance Company: One of the largest U.S. title insurers and settlement services providers, operating nationally with full-stack title, escrow, and closing capabilities. Directly competes with Hemisphere in Florida, but as part of a national, scale-driven franchise rather than a local specialist.
• Fidelity National Title: Parent of major title brands (FNF, Chicago Title, Commonwealth Land Title) and one of the largest U.S. title insurance underwriters. Competes with Hemisphere across Florida residential and commercial closings, with substantially greater scale, capital, and lender network reach.
• Stewart Title Guaranty Company: National title insurance underwriter and closing services provider with deep Florida agency operations. Overlaps with Hemisphere on title issuance, escrow, and settlement, but operates a much broader multi-state franchise.
• Old Republic Title: Major U.S. title underwriter offering residential and commercial title insurance plus escrow and settlement. Competes directly with Hemisphere on Florida title policies and closings, supported by a national balance sheet and proprietary issuing capabilities.

Direct peers

• WFG National Title Insurance Company: Independent title insurance underwriter that distributes through a national network of title agents, many of them smaller agencies like Hemisphere. Closely comparable business model: local title agency issuing title policies backed by an underwriter, with similar product breadth.
• Alliant National Title Insurance Company: Independent title insurance underwriter that supports a network of small-to-mid independent title agencies. Closely comparable in operating model to Hemisphere — independent agency issuing policies on Alliant's paper, focused on residential and small commercial closings.
• Title Florida Agency: Florida-focused independent title and escrow agency offering title insurance, settlement, and closing services in the state. Closely comparable to Hemisphere in scale, geography, and service mix, directly competing for the same South Florida agent and lender relationships.
• Sunbelt Title Agency: Regional title and closing services agency serving Florida and other Sunbelt states. Closely comparable to Hemisphere in offering title insurance, escrow, and settlement for residential and commercial transactions with a similar local-agency service model.
• AmTrust Title Insurance Company: Independent title underwriter with an agency distribution model in multiple states including Florida. Comparable to Hemisphere in supporting small independent agents that issue on its underwriter paper for residential and commercial closings.

Emerging players

• Notarize: Online notarization platform offering remote online notarization (RON) and digital closing workflows. Comparable to Hemisphere's RON offering, but at technology-platform scale that threatens to commoditize the on-site closing experience that smaller agencies rely on for differentiation.
