What is the Pricing, Subscription Fees for Title Leader?
Platform – TL’s platform is not priced like traditional SaaS platforms. Meaning, there are no subscription fees, license fees, or user limits. Instead, vendors pay TL, not users.
Products/Services – Since vendors pay TL, that means users still pay the same old competitive title-product fees, as always, and you get the benefits of being far more efficient.
- Commercial searches & Commitments – You get three quotes to choose from.
- Residential searches – You approve fees before onboarding.
- Closings with title insurance – The competitive technology fee, payable to Title Leader, is added to the settlement statement and paid by the borrower. Simple. No fees to you, the lender, for using TL – you get organized & efficient at no cost.

Is TL title search software?

- Management – TL automates all steps of a mandatory, manual, time-wasting process of managing orders for title products. TL’s smart dashboard makes it easy.

Does TL provide automated title searches?
No. Title Leader is a Title Management & Fulfillment Platform. B2B, SaaS.
There are only a couple of automated title search platforms, but they are extremely limited in the search types they can perform, and they are subject to low success rates (searches ordered vs searches that could actually be completed without human intervention & increased costs.) These limitations are due to the nature and complexities of the antiquated document recording system for real estate used by all counties in the U.S. Unless this system is overhauled, which is not anticipated, your best bet is to use Title Leader to access the best search vendors in the U.S.
Does Title Leader enable online title searching?
No. Title Leader is a Title Management & Fulfillment Platform. B2B, SaaS.
To access most counties’ land records online, one must typically subscribe to each county’s database and/or possess licenses and/or have brick & mortar offices in the state or county. This is why truly national search vendors are hard to find, and why Title Leader’s marketplace of such vetted national vendors delivers high value to its users.
Is Title Leader a title search vendor?
No. Title Leader’s marketplace is full of title search vendors, title companies, and settlement agents, for our users’ convenience. These providers perform all fulfillment functions for orders placed by Title Leader’s users.
