Qualia Releases First Fully Integrated Notary Service for the Title, Escrow, and Closing Software Industry

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Qualia, a real estate technology company that streamlines the home buying and selling experience, today announced the release of “Notary by Qualia”, a new platform feature that provides title and escrow agents with easy-to-use notary services from Qualia’s nationwide network of verified professional notaries knowledgeable of the real estate closing process. Qualia’s secure title, escrow, and closing software platform is the first of its kind to offer notary services built into its product as a native feature, streamlining the workflow and avoiding hours of additional work, scheduling coordination challenges, or risk of lost paperwork.

Notary services are an essential part of the home closing process, with many documents required to be signed under the supervision of a notary public. The new Notary by Qualia feature simplifies the cumbersome process and offers a number of benefits, such as:

• Nationwide network: With a vast network of verified notaries across the country who are experienced in real estate closings, title and escrow agents can quickly order services and receive data back seamlessly.
• Automated scheduling: The signing times can be maintained automatically in Qualia’s built-in calendar to help agents better manage their schedules even if they have dozens, or even hundreds, of active files.
• Automated document retrieval and payments: Notaries are integrated directly into Qualia’s platform, eliminating the need for title companies to download or upload documents or maintain separate systems.  Title companies will no longer have to worry about missed payments or managing individual payments to various title service providers.
• Tools for notaries: When signings must be done in person it can sometimes be difficult to find the signing location and show up on time. Notary by Qualia includes built-in street maps and a view of home closing locations with directions to help ensure a consistent signing experience.
• Secure platform: All information is handled securely through Qualia's SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified software platform so users don't need to email, call, or fax to receive or fulfill orders. In addition to saving time, users avoid the risk of fraud or lost paperwork.

“Qualia is constantly looking for the next opportunity to innovate and create a home buying and selling experience our users’ clients will love,” said Nate Baker, CEO of Qualia. “We want to make title and escrow agents’ workdays smoother and more efficient by giving them access to a vast network of verified notaries, along with the technology to manage the closing process seamlessly and securely. Notary by Qualia is the latest example of how we are transforming this experience and adding more value to the closing process at every step of the way.”

Notary is available to all new and existing Qualia customers as part of the Qualia Marketplace.

Notaries are invited to join the Qualia network to get connected with additional opportunities from Qualia’s user base of thousands of title and escrow agents. Sign up at https://learn.qualia.com/marketplace/vendors
