WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., May 23, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- TitleInsurance.com, the first and only source for consumers and real estate professionals to comparison shop for title insurance, today announces that only two months after its official launch:
-- Over 250 companies have joined.
-- Over 1200 counties nationwide are represented.
-- Over 3,000 consumers have requested quotes for title
insurance or refinancing.
"Since we only allow five title insurance providers per county, and once signed, membership is closed for that county, companies have been acting very quickly," explained Joan Rosenstock, president, titleinsurance.com. "Titleinsurance.com is the only company of its kind that provides consumers with a free, effective, and simple way to obtain competitive quotes for title insurance from multiple providers and we are pleased with the tremendous consumer response thus far."
"In our first three weeks online I have had over 100 requests for quotes. I was impressed that they were qualified leads from title savvy consumers. Many have already become clients," said David L. Prince, Esq. of National Discount Title and Escrow of Sunrise, Florida. "Titleinsurance.com has become an integral part of my marketing plan."
Another company that signed on reports similar results. "After first hearing of titleinsurance.com, I was unsure of the feasibility or usability of such a service. I have been pleasantly surprised at the number of leads generated and the ease of dealing with the leads through the website. The potential is greater than first expected and I'm glad we were there at the start," reported Thomas Gillis, Statewide Tax & Title Services, LLC in Roswell, GA.
Customers seeking quotes are also responding with outstanding results. "Thanks to titleinsurance.com, I received five competitive quotes within one week. Although the premiums were identical, the fees varied widely from company to company. I was able to compare each quote side-by-side and selected the best offer. I will definitely revisit titleinsurance.com for future home purchases," said Kevin P. Croy, a consumer from Philadelphia, PA.
"I must admit I was a bit skeptical at first, but when I got a quote back from a local company whose price was much less than others I had contacted, I was sold! Beehive Title made it so easy for us and they were able to work in our short time frame. I will definitely use titleinsurance.com next time we buy or sell a home," said Matt Chantry, Provo, UT.
