Seeing Ahead: Digital Closings

Pandemic-Proof Closing Solutions
In the ensuing two years, Champion Title secured its reputation as an industry leader and an expert on eClosings – which they knew would be “the next big thing” in real estate settlements. This also placed Champion in a unique position to continue operations during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. As demand for digital and remote solutions skyrocketed, long-standing industry barriers fell almost overnight. Title and settlement companies collectively rushed to build new workflows and internal processes to meet the demands of the moment. Champion Title, however, didn’t need to wait for a third-party sales call or to get acquainted with a new vendor platform. Early adoption of eClosings allowed Champion to operate business-as-usual. Not every Champion Title closing is an eClosing – and there may forever be folks who prefer to do things in person – but by recognizing the opportunities eClosings provided early on, Champion Title was able to weather an unforeseeable pandemic and win market share at a time when its peers struggled to compete.
With eClosings now quite common, Champion Title has set its sights on “the next big thing.”
With eClosings now quite common, Champion Title has set its sights on “the next big thing.” In June, it became one of the earliest adopters of Proof's self-closing solution, which allows title and settlement agents in RON-approved states to execute and complete notarizations as part of a fully digital closing experience. By driving the entire eClosing process, Champion has been able to maintain control of the closing experience and cater to the demands of their clients in these uncertain times with exceptional service and increased operational efficiency. With the help of Proof, Champion will continue to offer a suite of solutions that can handle any type of closing – no matter the circumstances.
