Quote & estimate requests for Title Companies — KwickPhone answers the phone

You're at the closing table, or three documents deep into examining a chain of title, when the front line lights up. It's a realtor checking whether you can turn around a quote on a $385,000 resale in time for an offer deadline, or a loan officer who needs a title and settlement fee estimate before they can issue a Loan Estimate of their own. They don't want a callback in two hours. They have three other title companies in their phone, and the one who answers and gives them a number first is the one who lands the order. So the call you couldn't take while you were heads-down on someone else's file just became the file you lost.

KwickPhone picks up that call on the first ring, in English, Spanish, or Chinese, and instead of dumping the caller into voicemail it does the part that actually wins the work: it gathers the file. It asks for the property address, the sale price or loan amount, whether this is a purchase or a refinance, who's representing the buyer and seller, the target closing date, and whether they need owner's and lender's policies or just one. It confirms whether a prior policy exists for a reissue rate, and it captures the requesting party's name, brokerage or lender, and callback number. It never quotes a premium or settlement fee on its own, because title pricing depends on your rate schedule, the state promulgated rates, and endorsements you decide on a per-file basis. It collects everything you need to price the job accurately and tells the caller you'll follow up with a written estimate.

For a title company this matters more than for almost any local business, because a quote request is not a quote request, it's the front door to an escrow file, a title insurance policy, and the closing fees that follow. Miss the intake and you don't just lose one fee, you lose the whole transaction, and the realtor remembers who picked up when they're routing the next ten deals. KwickPhone's job here is narrow and honest: keep the line from going cold, get the file details down cleanly the first time, and put a complete request in front of you so the only thing left for a human to do is the part that requires judgment, which is the pricing itself.

Quote & estimate requests for Title Companies, handled.

Real calls

What it sounds like for title companies.

1

A buyer's agent calls at 5:40pm wanting a title and settlement quote on a $410,000 purchase closing in three weeks, because she's comparing two title companies before recommending one to her client. KwickPhone captures the address, price, target close date, that both owner's and lender's policies are needed, her brokerage and cell, and notes she's deciding tonight; it flags the request as time-sensitive so your closer can send a number before she picks the other firm.

2

A loan officer needs a fee estimate for a rate-and-term refinance so he can finalize a borrower's Loan Estimate by his deadline. KwickPhone gathers the property address, the new loan amount, that it's a refi with lender's coverage only, and asks whether the borrower has a prior owner's policy that could trigger a reissue rate, then passes the file over with that reissue question already answered so you can price it correctly.

3

A homeowner calls directly, unsure what title insurance even costs, because they're selling by owner and a buyer asked them to choose the title company. KwickPhone explains in plain terms that the fee depends on the sale price, the policies involved, and the state's rate schedule, collects the address, price, and approximate closing timeframe, and tells them you'll send a written estimate rather than guessing a number on the phone.

4

A Spanish-speaking real estate agent calls about a cash purchase and is more comfortable not switching to English. KwickPhone handles the entire intake in Spanish, captures that it's a cash deal needing an owner's policy only, gets the address, price, and her contact details, and delivers the request to you in a clean written form so language never costs you the file.

Questions
Will it actually quote a title premium or closing fee to the caller?
No, and that's deliberate. Title premiums follow state-promulgated or filed rate schedules and your own settlement-fee structure, and they shift with policy type, endorsements, and reissue eligibility, so KwickPhone captures every detail needed to price the file and tells the caller a person will follow up with the written estimate. It quotes nothing it can't be certain of.
Does it know to ask about a prior policy for reissue or refinance rates?
Yes. We build the intake around the questions that change your price, and prior-policy status is one of the biggest, so it asks whether there's a recent owner's policy and notes the answer. That means the reissue or refi-rate question is already answered when the request reaches your closer, instead of being discovered on the third callback.
Can it tell a purchase from a refinance and adjust what it asks?
Yes. It asks transaction type up front and follows the right path — a purchase intake captures sale price, both buyer and seller sides, and owner's plus lender's policy needs, while a refinance captures the new loan amount and typically lender's coverage only. The request that lands on your desk reflects the deal type accurately.
What happens if the caller asks something it doesn't have a clear answer to?
It hands off rather than guessing. KwickPhone only speaks from the real information you've given it about your office, services, and process, and when a question falls outside that — a complex curative title issue, a legal question, an unusual fee scenario — it takes the details and routes the caller to a human instead of making something up.
Does it integrate with our title production or escrow software?
It writes the captured request into your system as a structured intake and routes it to whoever handles quotes; if you don't run production software for this step, KwickPhone itself becomes the place those requests are collected and organized. The goal is that the details land where your closer already works, not in a separate inbox to re-key.
We get calls from agents and lenders who speak Spanish or Chinese — can it handle those?
Yes, it answers and runs the full intake in English, Spanish, or Chinese, and captures the same complete file details regardless of language. For a title company serving diverse buyers and agents, that means language isn't the reason a quote request slips away to a competitor.
How do I know it captured the address and loan amount correctly?
It reads the key details back to the caller before ending the call — property address, price or loan amount, closing date, and policies needed — so an error gets caught while the caller is still on the line. A transposed digit in a loan amount or a wrong street number won't quietly follow the request into a mispriced estimate.
