The companies partner again to promote the adoption of online closings in more states
Notarize and Stewart Title have renewed their partnership that will give Stewart's direct offices and independent agents the ability to offer fully online and hybrid closings powered by Notarize.
The companies first teamed up in 2017 for their first online closing. Since then, Stewart and Notarize have completed thousands of both online and hybrid closings.
Stewart said that this partnership ensures the rapid deployment and adoption of online closings nationwide as more states pass legislation.
“Since completing the first online closing in the country with Notarize back in 2017, we’ve spent the last few years understanding how we can bring a transformational digital process to consumers that enhances the customer experience for how they want to close on their home,” said Scott Gillen, senior vice president of industry relations and marketplace strategy at Stewart Title. “Notarize has been our top partner in the space, not only from an advocacy and enablement perspective but because we share the same vision on putting convenience and experience first. We can’t wait for 2020.”
“Scott and the team at Stewart were the first title underwriter to see the promise of online closings,” said Notarize founder and CEO Pat Kinsel. “They created a vision for the future and worked tirelessly to provide consumers a better closing experience. We're proud to deepen our relationship with Stewart to take online closings to full scale in 2020."
