Section 1: Finding the Right Product

  • You should be on the dashboard. From here, you can search by unit address OR community name, but unit address is preferred. You'll need to type at least 8 characters to begin the search, but you should avoid entering city, state, and postal code unless there are too many matching addresses.

Section 2: Order Checkout

Step 1: Information

The first step of order checkout is "Information" and you'll add/edit the following on this step; Properties, Closing Information (where applicable), and Required Information.

  • First, you'll review the unit you selected. The vast majority of products only allow selection of one unit, but if your product allows selection of multiple units, you can add/remove properties from this page. If not, the "remove" option will be disabled.

  • Next, you'll add/edit Closing Information (where applicable -- some products do not require this). All required fields have a red asterisk next to them.
    • If you don't see the Closing Information section, skip ahead to step 3.
    • Most of the time, you'll be creating a new closing, however if any other users have placed orders for unconfirmed closings, you'll see an option to "Use Preexisting Closing"

  • Finally, you'll provide any additional Required Information in the next section. All required fields have a red asterisk next to them. When you're ready to proceed, click "Next" to move to Step 2: Documents.


*IMPORTANT* If the "Next" button is grayed out, please see below:

Step 2: Documents

The second step of order checkout is "Documents" and you'll add/edit the following on this step; Properties, Closing Information (where applicable), and Required Information.

  • First, you'll review your "Core Documents." Products will EITHER be a bundle, which means a flat rate for all documents OR a la carte, which means core documents are priced individually and can be removed as needed.

  • Next, you'll add any "Add-On Documents" you wish to include by clicking the checkbox to the left of the document. These documents are priced individually and will show as a separate line item on the invoice.

  • Finally, if any of your chosen documents require a supporting document (you'll see the "Needs Supporting Document" tag next to them) you'll need to upload your file. Click "Upload," choose the file you wish to use, then click "OK."
    • You can also check the "I want to use this document for future orders" if you'd like us to save the document for your company.

Step 3: Delivery

The third step of order checkout is "Delivery" and you'll add/edit the following on this step; Priority, Recipients, and Shipment.


  • First, you'll choose your "Priority" option. "Standard" is always free, but choosing "Tier 1" or "Tier 2" will allow you to get your documents sooner, albeit at an additional cost. The turnaround times and prices are visible on this step:

  • Next, you'll specify any "Recipients" who should receive a digital copy of the order. You and any company recipients will always be listed, but you can add additional parties here, i.e. the seller and/or buyer. Click "+New Recipient" and enter the email address of the recipient.

  • Finally, if the product has Shipment options available, you can click "I would like a hard copy of my order" and specify format, shipping time, and recipient information.


Step 4: Payment

The fourth step of order checkout is "Payment" and you'll add/edit the following on this step; Payment Method, Payment Timing Option, and Party.


  • First, you'll choose your "Payment Method" and you can choose between Check or Credit Card.
    • Credit card payments carry a 4% convenience fee that will appear as a separate line item on your invoice.
  • Next, you'll choose your "Payment Timing Option" and depending on the product settings, available options will include one or more of the following:
    • "In Advance" means the payment must be made BEFORE documents are delivered.
    • "Net 90" means that payment is due within 90 days of the order being delivered, regardless of closing occuring or not.
    • "After Closing" means that payment is due after the closing is confirmed (only).
  • Finally, you'll choose your payment party. You can choose to pay for the order yourself or you can choose someone else and send them a payment link. If you choose someone else, enter their email and click "Next" to move on to Step 5: Review.


*IMPORTANT* If you choose "In Advance" and EITHER choose "Check" for payment method OR "Someone Else" for party, your due date will be recalculated based on your priority option and the payment date.



Step 5: Review

The fifth and final step of order checkout is "Review" and you'll confirm your selections from the previous steps and place your order on this step.

  • After placing your order, you'll be directed to the order confirmation page. This page shows an overview of your order, and contact information for support. You're finished! You can click "View Details" to go to the order details page if you like.
