Frequently asked questions.
What should title companies look for in an HOA vendor?
Turnaround commitments with remedies, all-50-state coverage including self-managed boards, accuracy guarantees, production-software integration, and transparent all-in pricing.
How much do HOA retrieval services cost?
Full-service retrieval typically runs $125 to $250 per order before association pass-through fees. Compare fully loaded per-file cost in a live pilot, not rate cards.
Should we use portals or a retrieval service?
Both: portals for enrolled associations with responsive managers, retrieval for exceptions, silence, self-managed boards, and rush files.
How do we switch vendors without losing files?
Pilot finalists on live files including difficult associations, score delivery and escalation, then migrate open files with a documented handoff and overlapping service windows.
