We maintain an extensive network of high-quality abstractors to ensure a high level of accuracy on our title products. For additional lender protection, we offer a variety of warranty coverage options, from $50K to $500K

As an additional convenience to our lenders, we are able to compare the appraisal and title products to ensure consistent data across both products.

What our Home Equity clients say

I like a vendor that does their job well and lets me do mine well, without a lot of interaction. That is CSS! Their turnaround time is excellent, they have competitive pricing, and they are consistently reliable and accurate, and I am confident in their product. On the rare occasion that a discrepancy arises, it is rectified quickly and efficiently, and without the need for follow ups.

Karen Rack, OceanFirst Bank

Vice President, Consumer Lending Operations Manager

It gives me great pleasure to recommend Corporate Settlement Solutions as a provider of Appraisal Management and Title Services. In the 8 years since we began our partnership, CSS has met all of our real estate lending needs, providing excellence in service by both word and deed. And in today’s ever-changing market that is a difficult task.
