Our Services for Builders

Welcome to our third blog post, focusing on our services for builders -- 

We work with national and regional builders... Alpha-Omega Title provides customized solutions for a range of closing services and title insurance needs. We have the capability to provide on-site personnel in your sales centers to handle your clients' questions, as well as open escrow on new sales. We can provide title services on land acquisition, construction and bridge loans. Additionally, we can handle your end-consumers' closing services and title insurance requirements. Alpha-Omega can assist you with every phase of development.

Alpha-Omega can provide you the following as a builder: 

  • Act as Your In-House Title Company By using our services, you can gain the benefits of having your own title agency without actually having to endure the costs and responsibility.  
  • Working Together By partnering with your engineers and surveyors, we assist in identifying all boundary easement and setback lines plus restrictions before you purchase a lot.  
  • Peace of Mind We work with your lender to ensure that your purchase runs smoothly. 
  • Affordable Pricing We work to keep your costs to a minimum by working with you to obtain re-issue credit for entire subdivisions. 
  • Keeping You Updated We update your title along the way and report any problems that may arise.
  • In Addition We offer customized fee programs/escrow services, and close your transactions at locations convenient for you.

Recovery is well underway... There are ample signs that the housing market overall is improving. Historically low mortgage rates and low home prices are driving demand for the first time in years. Meanwhile, the inventory of foreclosed and distressed properties is decreasing. Housing starts are rising, and homebuilder confidence sits at a six-year high. We expect that recovery to continue and even accelerate since housing starts have been down for so long while population has been growing. 

But there are still challenges... As the housing market recovers, builders will still face some challenges:Lack of credit availability continues to be an issue for both builders and buyers.
  • Many economists expect the slow recovery to continue for another year.
  • Home price increases are limited by conservative lending and appraisals.
  • Vendors along the supply chain may be reluctant to increase production if they believe the recovery is not sustainable.
  • Increased building activity may mean cost increases for commodities such as concrete, lumber, sheetrock, roofing and paint. 
  • Exodus of workers from the industry may mean a scarcity of qualified and season employees as the recovery continues. 
  • Overall, pricing constraints and rising costs could squeeze builder profits, making it difficult for builders to sell, construct, and service new homes at the level customers now expect. 
You need a trustworthy partner... We've been in business for 30 years and understand your concerns and the challenges builders face. We want to be your title services partner to help see you through the ups and downs of the real estate development market. To help you meet these challenges, Alpha-Omega handles all of your title insurance needs with efficiency, innovation, and personalized service. We are committed to consistently delivering service that is timely, responsive and accurate.

Our Services for Realtors

Welcome to our second blog post, focusing on our services to realtors -- 

Alpha-Omega makes the following promises to you as a realtor:
  • Competitive Rates - We understand that closing costs can be burdensome on home buyers. With this in mind, Alpha-Omega strives to offer competitive rates to keep your client's costs to a minimum. 
  • Personal Service - Get "instant information" by simply calling your Account Representative. Whether you need information concerning ownership, transfer tax, legal descriptions or lender information, we are here to help you. 
  • Responsiveness and Speed - Rapid turn-around on documents such as preliminary closing statements, title commitments and policies. 
  • Smooth Closings Our experience and processes ensure no last minute issues or delays. 
  • Regular Communication - So many steps must be completed in the escrow process - in a specific order, or in parallel - for a transaction to close. It is important for the agent, and to a lesser extent the agent's broker, to know when these steps are initiated and/or completed. That's why communicating with the real estate  agent is crucial for a title company - and why we communicate so well.


Recovery brings with it new opportunities for realtors... Housing starts, new home sales, existing home sales, sale prices, low interest rates, and even a looser grip on lending all point toward a promising recovery in the housing market. You're already feeling it - and it's a welcome relief after years of little movement in the market besides short sales and foreclosures. Most economists expect the recovery to be sluggish this year, but prospects for a better tomorrow are excellent. 


But realtors face challenges on the road ahead... But all is not clear sailing. If past history is a guide, there are still challenging days ahead. Market activity is picking up but still lags behind historical averages. Many realtors have left the business so there are now fewer competitors,  but they're competing over a smaller base of transactions. In many cases, it is now taking longer to close. More deliberate lenders mean more financing delays. More conservative appraisals bring unexpected surprises. For realtors, all of that can make it more difficult to get to a pay day. So as a closing date approached, the last thing you need is a delay in the escrow and closing process after all those other pieces have fallen in place. 


You need a trustworthy partner who understand your needs... At Alpha-Omega Title, we understand your concerns and the challenges realtors face. We've been in business for 30 years and like you, we've weathered the storms. Alpha-Omega wants to be your title services partner to help see you through the ups and downs of the real estate market. To help you meet these challenges, Alpha-Omega handles all of your title insurance needs with efficiency, innovation, and personalized service. We are committed to consistently delivering service that is timely, responsive and accurate.
