About the Company 

Everyone who is approved for a mortgage needs to pay someone close it. At States Title, we're transforming the real estate industry by applying machine intelligence to age-old processes and procedures. Backed by multiple patents, our streamlined, efficient algorithms are poised to revolutionize the home closing process.
