How It Works

myTitleIns.com is a FREE interactive website that automatically calculates your estimated title insurance and closing costs in REAL TIME. myTitleIns.com provides Users a comparative analysis of available subscribing title companies in a respective area. Its unique Consumer Protection Rating “CPR” feature compares and rates subscribing title companies first on a scale of 1 to 10 based on services, title policy coverages, available closing protections and then based on their estimated cost.

The Process:

This process is accomplished by the User entering into the website’s application software specifically-requested information regarding the User’s proposed transaction and historical public information related to prior transactions involving the subject property. Then based on the information supplied by the User, together with the publicly-filed title insurance rates, programs and closing & ancillary services fees for various individual title companies, the website will deliver an Estimated Costs Summary Comparison of estimated quotes for the User’s review. These quotes are based on standard ALTA policy types with customary endorsements and extended coverages, as well as the closing & ancillary services that are typical to the selected transaction type. Because every property is unique as to encumbrances and other interests, some endorsements may not be necessary and can therefore be eliminated from the quote, giving an "Apples to Apples Comparison" on costs. Understand that varying circumstances unique to the transaction and/or property may require additional endorsements, coverages, and services.

STEP 1

Before starting, a User may review a sample quote in order to see and better understand the summary comparison and estimated quote format used.

STEP 2

A User can create a free account with myTitleIns.com o manage and save quotes or obtain a single quick quote without creating an account.

STEP 3

The quote and comparison process requires Users to answer questions regarding the proposed transaction and the subject property. Some of these questions are set forth below. Typically, Users can arrive at answers to these questions from their own information or from an Owner's & Encumbrance Report (O&E), which title companies will usually provide at no charge.

Questions:

When did the current owner acquire the property, and what was the original purchase price of the property?
2. What was the original date of the current 1st mortgage, and what was the original amount of the current 1st mortgage?
How many mortgages are currently on the property to be paid off with this transaction?
Is the property in Foreclosure?
Note: If the property is currently free & clear ----- If there was a prior 1st mortgage, (by the current owner that had been previously been paid off) what was the date of the last mortgage, and if there was a prior 1st mortgage, what was the amount of the last mortgage?

STEP 4

At this point, myTitleIns.comwill automatically generate an Estimated Costs Summary Comparison. This summary screen will list subscribing title companies first by their Consumer Protection Rating ("CPR") and then by their total estimated cost for their title insurance premiums, endorsement charges and closing & ancillary fees. In addition, the total estimated quote will be reflected separately by seller, buyer and/or borrower costs.

STEP 5

Finally, by clicking the detailed quote request to view a Good Faith Title Estimate ("GFTE") on the summary screen, the User may view an itemization of all estimated costs applicable to each quote for each title company that subscribes to our services. There is also an option to print a formal GFTE that can be used for presentation purposes or future reference. A GFTE is not available from non-subscribing title companies.

STEP 6

myTitleIns.com allows Users to save their quotes for reference at a later date. In addition, if a User is interrupted during the interview process, myTitleIns.com will automatically save the previously-entered information, so the User may complete the interview process at a later date by accessing their account.

Rates, Fees, and Information Used

myTitleIns.com generates estimated quotes and comparisons using information provided by title companies that subscribe to its services and for the non-subscribing title companies for which estimated quotes and comparisons are generated using their publicly filed rates, fees and applicable rules for regularly issued title insurance policies and regularly imposed closing and settlement charges as on file with the Colorado Division of Insurance as provided by Regulation 3-5-1, Section 5. A. Rules Regarding Rates And Fees.

The objective of myTitleIns.com is to accurately reflect all rates, applicable rules / programs, services and fees for listed title companies. If an estimated quote for a title company appears inaccurate, that title company should immediately notify myTitleIns.com of the issue using the website’s Contact Us form and may request an itemized breakdown of the estimated quote.
