About reQuire Release Tracking
reQuire (www.gorequire.com) is the leading lien release tracking and reporting service in the real estate settlement services industry. Its primary customers are companies performing real estate settlements and disbursing payoff funds to satisfy lien requirements. For more than a decade, reQuire has proactively tracked and verified the payoff and cancellation of prior mortgage accounts and liens after the closing.

Founded in 2002, reQuire provides a unique solution to the epidemic problem in the industry related to unreleased deeds of trust.
