What is riding on it
Someone is closing on this tomorrow
Behind every file is a family, a lender, and a date that has already been set. That is the whole reason the standard below exists — and the reason we would rather hold a file an hour longer than send it out unverified.
The commitments
Three commitments, and what each one costs us
A promise is only worth the procedure behind it. Each of the three below is stated first as we state it everywhere, then in the terms that actually govern a file.
- 01
Precision
Every report is checked for exactness before it reaches you. Nothing goes out that hasn't been reconciled against source.
Exactness is a procedure, not an intention. Names, legal descriptions, parcel identifiers, and recording data are each checked back against the instrument they came from, so an error has to survive a deliberate comparison to reach your file.
- Every figure traced back to its recording data
- Legal descriptions matched against the source instrument
- Nothing released until it reconciles against source
- 02
Authenticity
Source-verified data you can stand behind — pulled directly from official county, municipal, and state records.
The record is the only acceptable source. Research is taken from the official county, municipal, and state repositories that hold the instrument itself — so what reaches your file is what was actually recorded, not a copy of a copy.
- Pulled from official county, municipal, and state records
- Verified against the originating instrument
- Findings you can stand behind on the file
- 03
Accuracy on Schedule
Reliable deliverables, on the clock, every time. Fast turnaround without trading away the quality your file depends on.
The turnaround you commit to your client becomes the turnaround we commit to you. Delivery time is agreed before work begins and the review pass happens inside that window — speed is planned for, never bought back out of the quality check.
- Delivery time committed at intake
- Review completed inside the committed window
- Quality never traded away for speed
The method
How the standard is held
“Quality review” is one line on the order flow. This is what it actually consists of, and it runs on every report rather than on a sample of them.
- Step 01
Pulled from the record
Research is taken from the official repository that holds the instrument — county, municipal, or state.
- Step 02
Reconciled against source
Every name, figure, and legal description is checked back against the document it came from.
- Step 03
Reviewed for exactness
A review pass under the Six Sigma standard, applied to every report rather than a sample.
- Step 04
Released on the clock
Nothing leaves until it reconciles — and nothing leaves after the committed window.
