Reimagining Homeownership

Buying a home is a powerful decision with extraordinary benefits, but it has become increasingly inaccessible due to high costs.

While mortgage rates and home prices are beyond our control, we can impact closing costs, where title insurance plays a significant role.

Despite advancements in technology and increased data availability, title insurance companies continue to charge premium prices simply because there has never been an insured alternative — until now!

Frequently Asked Questions

In the simplest terms, a title insurance policy provides assurance that the seller of a property is the rightful owner without any encumbrances. If any issues arise, the title insurance company will intervene to resolve the problem or cover the costs involved.

Fortunately, such situations rarely occur in practice. In fact, claims paid out by title insurance companies accounted for less than 3% of the total last year. Despite the low claim rate, insurance costs have skyrocketed — doubling over the past 15 years and creating a disparity between risk and premiums.

An attorney opinion letter is a legal document provided by a qualified real estate attorney that analyzes a property’s title records, identifies any potential issues or defects, and concludes whether the title is clear and marketable.

The primary difference between the two is not in the risk profile but in the cost structure. An AOL can save a homeowner hundreds or thousands of dollars at the closing table, whereas title insurance remains a burdensome cost that appears consistently from one transaction to the next, regardless of the risk being underwritten. 

Title issues have been substantially reduced over the past two decades, with approximately 75% of title searches revealing clean title. However, the cost of title insurance has remained steady and, in many jurisdictions, is no longer commensurate with the risk. Similarly, with access to better data and more robust technology products, the savings being realized by title agents should be passed on to the consumer. AOLPro is intended to do just that.  

What sets AOLPro apart is that each AOL is backed by insurance issued by an A.M. Best A-rated insurance carrier and provides protection for the full amount of the loan for the life of the loan. AOLPro coverage also includes borrower fraud protection, gap coverage, a closing protection letter, and secondary market. Buyback coverage is exclusive to AOLPro and not included with title insurance.
