What Pre-Policy Intelligence℠ Is — and what the $149 order does.

Pre-Policy Intelligence is the title search and examination ordered at the very start of a transaction, not when the closing is scheduled. One link opens the title file. IRIS℠ begins processing the moment the order is received.

No commitment required

Order the search on its own. The findings are yours.

Pre-Policy Intelligence℠ is the title search and examination, available by itself at the start of the transaction. You do not need to commit to a policy, and you do not need an executed contract.

When your file closes with an Intelligent Title policy, the work is already done and the $149 is credited in full against the premium.

  • No policy commitment. No executed contract.Order at the letter of intent, the application or the contract.
  • Initial response within 24 hoursOwnership, liens, encumbrances, judgments and taxes, and the legal description.

  • Your premium, priced before you orderGive IRIS the state and the purchase price or loan amount, and she prices your policy in seconds.
SECTION 1

Title Work, Moved to Day One

Every real estate transaction runs on parallel workstreams, appraisal, underwriting, environmental, documentation. All of them start at day one. Title has traditionally been the exception, ordered at conditional approval or when the closing is scheduled.

Pre-Policy Intelligence removes that exception. The $149 order is placed at the letter of intent, the application, or the contract, and the title file opens immediately. The same work that would eventually happen anyway now runs in parallel with everything else, with time to act on what it finds.

SECTION 2

How the Automation Works

Ordering is deliberately simple, no phone tag, no waiting for a callback:

  1. Send the link. A lender, attorney, or advisor sends the order link to the borrower or buyer, or the customer orders directly.
  2. The customer completes a short intake. Property address, contact details, transaction type, a few minutes, any device, any hour.
  3. Secure payment. $149, processed securely through Stripe.
  4. IRIS takes it from there. Pre-Policy Intelligence begins at checkout, and the work starts at once: ownership examination, lien identification, encumbrance disclosure, judgment and tax review, legal description verification.
  5. Initial response within 24 hours. Findings are delivered to every party who needs them, while the rest of the file is still opening.
SECTION 3

What You Get Within 24 Hours

The initial Pre-Policy Intelligence response answers the questions every transaction depends on:

This is the same record a title commitment is built on, delivered at the start of the deal instead of the end, so decisions are made with the facts in hand.

SECTION 4

What the $149 Pays For

The work. The $149 pays for the title search and examination, real work performed on the property, delivered to the ordering party whether or not the transaction closes.

The credit. When the transaction closes with a title insurance policy issued by Intelligent Title, the full $149 is credited against the title insurance premium. You do not pay twice for the same work.

What it does not change: your premium. Title insurance premiums are regulated and set state by state. Your policy costs the same with or without Pre-Policy Intelligence, no markup, no surcharge. The $149 pays for the early examination itself: the ownership, lien, judgment, and tax picture on day one, so surveys get ordered at the start of the file instead of weeks into it, clearance items get resolved with runway, and nothing surfaces for the first time at the closing table.

The relationship. The same title company that opens the file at day one issues the policy that closes the deal, one title relationship, contract to closing.

SECTION 5

Why It Is Different

Pre-Policy Intelligence is the early opening of the title file — the search and examination the policy is built on, performed by Intelligent Title, a full-service title insurance business, at the start of the transaction instead of the end. Pre-Policy Intelligence begins at checkout, and licensed title professionals examine every file.

Institutional-quality intelligence, in hours instead of weeks, available 24/7, priced the same for everyone, and credited at closing.
