A Midwest-based Small Business Administration (SBA) lender, working closely with a law firm, faced growing frustration with the slow, fragmented process of conducting title searches across multiple jurisdictions.
Traditional title companies are typically limited to single-county capabilities, making national or multi-state deals inefficient and time-consuming.
For commercial properties tied to SBA loans, data was often hard to access quickly, and search timelines frequently stretched into weeks – stalling the closing process and creating friction for all parties involved.
Inconsistent turnaround times made it difficult for the lender to forecast and manage closings, which in turn affected borrower satisfaction and eroded trust with key partners.
Without a streamlined, scalable solution, the lender and its legal team risked bottlenecks, delayed closings, and increased exposure to title-related risks on high-value transactions.
The law firm turned to Pippin Title to streamline their approach. With real-time order tracking, rapid data retrieval, and a platform built for national coverage, Pippin offered a faster, smarter alternative to traditional search providers.
The firm was especially impressed by the efficiency of Pippin’s system – so much so that they questioned if they’d ever need to check the status of an order again.
Pippin helped the law firm navigate the complexity of title searches for small business loans and commercial properties by offering a seamless, scalable solution tailored to the unique demands of commercial lending. From properties with layered ownership structures to out-of-state parcels with varying documentation standards, Pippin’s platform made it easy to access accurate, jurisdiction-specific data – fast.
The firm no longer had to juggle multiple vendors or wait through lengthy delays for county-specific reports. Instead, they relied on Pippin’s real-time tracking, commercial-grade reporting, and responsive support to move deals forward efficiently and confidently, no matter the property type or location.
the lender processed more reports in a single day than in four months with legacy providers.
With Pippin, title search reports were delivered in under two days – a drastic improvement over the weeks-long timelines they had previously endured. This speed and reliability allowed the lender and law firm to move quickly on SBA deals, keeping borrowers on track and closing timelines tight.
Pippin has since become their go-to partner for title searches, out-of-state closings, and SBA loan settlements, providing critical support across the full lending lifecycle.This example underscores the value Pippin brings to SBA lenders, real estate law firms, and commercial real estate professionals who need fast, accurate, and nationwide title data – without the bottlenecks.
