ESCROW AND TITLE company websites.
Endcap designs websites for escrow and title companies, including California’s independent escrow firms. The site shows who licenses or regulates the company, lets an agent or lender open an escrow online, and introduces the officers who will handle the file. Fee information, team pages and guidance are written for the agents, lenders and principals who choose an escrow company.
What’s included
What an escrow company website includes
Every site is designed and built by Endcap, with the pages, forms, and integrations agreed in your proposal.
Open escrow form
Agents, lenders and principals can open an escrow with a form for the property, parties and documents, which goes to the officer or branch they select.
Fee information
A fee schedule or a closing cost estimate request is presented the way your company quotes fees, with any notes your compliance staff require.
Escrow officer pages
Each officer and assistant has a page with photo, branch, languages and direct contact details, so agents can reach the person handling their file.
Guidance for principals
Plain explanations of the escrow process, the documents to prepare, and how to spot wire fraud are written for buyers and sellers going through escrow for the first time.
Branch locations
Each office has a page with address, hours and a map, and the details match its Google Business Profile.

Rules and details to get right

From our work
Endcap designed and built the website for Parker & Associates, Inc., a commercial brokerage, with team pages, listings and inquiry forms that reach the right person. An escrow website needs the same pieces: officer pages, clear routing and a form that captures the details of each file.
See Parker & Associates, Inc.- DFPI licensingCalifornia’s Escrow Law, in Division 6 of the Financial Code beginning at section 17000, is administered by the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which licenses and regulates independent escrow agents. Banks, insurance and title companies, attorneys and real estate brokers are exempt under specific conditions, and the person claiming an exemption must prove it. Source
- Controlled escrowsEscrows owned by title insurers, real estate brokers, attorneys or banks are not licensed by DFPI. DFPI directs consumers to check those companies with their own regulators, such as the California Department of Insurance for title insurers and the Department of Real Estate for brokers. Source
- Broker escrow namesUnder Department of Real Estate Regulation 2731, a broker whose fictitious business name includes the word escrow, or implies escrow services, must include the term “a non-independent broker escrow” in its advertising, signs and electronic promotional material. Source
- Referral partner pagesUnder RESPA Section 8 and Regulation X (12 CFR 1024.14), no one may give or accept a fee, kickback or other thing of value for referring settlement service business involving a federally related mortgage loan. A page for agents and lenders can describe services but should not offer anything in exchange for referrals. Source

Process
HOW A PROJECT
works.
One person runs your project from the first call to launch, and you approve each stage before the next one starts.
- 01
Talk it through
What the business does, who the website is for, and the material you already have.
- 02
Proposal
Pages, content, schedule, and price, set out in writing before any work begins.
- 03
Design and build
You review the design and then the working site, with two rounds of revisions.
- 04
Launch and care
We check every page and form at launch, then look after the site if you choose a care plan.
Client words
IN THEIR
words.
We own ten homes at Casa De Laguna and were still sending people to a site built in 2013. Noah pulled the photos and details out of the old site, designed a logo from the rooflines and the pond, and put the community, the homes and current availability in one place. It’s the first time the website has looked like the place we actually rent.
“Highly recommend. Great work.”
Can agents open an escrow through the website?
Yes. The open escrow form collects the property, parties, lender and documents and sends them to the branch or officer selected. We recommend collecting Social Security numbers and bank details through your secure system rather than a website form.
Can we publish our fees?
Yes. If your company publishes fees, we can show a fee table, a closing cost estimate request or both, and your team approves every figure before launch.
Do you work with title companies?
Yes. Title companies and their escrow divisions need the same officer pages, order forms and branch information, with the regulator and underwriter details your compliance staff specify.
Can each branch have its own page?
Yes. Each branch can have a page with address, hours, officers and a map, and we keep the details consistent with its Google Business Profile.
How long does an escrow company website take?
Most websites take two to four weeks once the content is ready. Forms and branch pages are part of that estimate, and the proposal confirms the schedule.
What does an escrow company website cost?
Projects are quoted after a short conversation about the branches, forms and pages involved. Scope, timing and price are agreed in writing before work begins.
