Speed, efficiency and innovation – How ServiceLink’s instant title is setting new standards in the mortgage industry

In today’s fast-paced lending environment, time is money. ServiceLink’s instant title solution is helping lenders accelerate the loan closing process by providing rapid, reliable title data – offering a crucial edge in an increasingly competitive market.

But what exactly is instant title, and why is it becoming an industry necessity?

What is instant title?

Instant title delivers key data points that enable lenders to quickly assess potential risks and move forward with loan approvals. It provides an immediate snapshot of title status, helping lenders determine if a loan can be closed in days instead of weeks.

“Instant title gives lenders the information they need to make real-time decisions,” says Amit Kulkarni, senior VP of product management at ServiceLink. “It’s not just about speed – it’s about accuracy, automation and smarter underwriting.”

Why instant title matters now more than ever

With fintech companies promising lightning-fast loan closings, traditional banks and mortgage institutions need to keep up, too. Borrowers now expect streamlined processes, and instant title is the key to staying competitive. With title delivered early in the origination process, lenders can set transparent, accurate timeline expectations with borrowers.

“Some lenders are aiming for loan approvals in minutes,” says Barry Coffin, managing director, origination title and close at ServiceLink. “To achieve this, they need instant, high-quality title data – and that’s what we provide.”
