"Great service, quick and responsive, accurate information. I was able to speak with a representative immediately after contacting. Answered all my questions. I had initially sought another title research company before AFX but canceled the order due to failed expectations and lack of concern for what I needed. Glad I did. AFX has been absolutely amazing customer service. It’s refreshing to get reliable and competent people who understand what you need. The comprehensive abstract report is exactly what I need. Now I have a piece of mind and can sleep a little better knowing I have the right information I need. Thank you. "

what our clients say
"AFX has been something that I dreamt should exist but it didn’t seem possible. When I found out about AFX, I couldn’t believe it was real until I saw it work.
We used to have to sit on draw requests with the inspection report in hand while waiting for updated title reports to come back—sometimes up to 5 days. Borrowers were less than thrilled that we had a draw report in hand and still couldn’t release the funds.
AFX has completely solved that issue as we get title reports in a matter of hours. It has been a complete game changer, and now our borrowers are able to receive their draws once we sign off on the inspection report without waiting any longer."
