Real-estate title experts. And technologists.
Empora has been closing residential title since 2020 from Columbus, Ohio. Across thousands of files we've seen how load-bearing the notary's role is at every closing — and how exposed it is when something goes wrong. We're title operators working alongside engineers who can build the tools to fix it.
How we work.
Five values shape every decision we make — who we hire, what we build, every signing we run, and every file we close.
Two crafts, one team.
The title & notary side
We close residential files for high-growth real estate teams across multiple states, with an in-house team of experienced notaries on staff — see the title operation at emporatitle.com. Every closing puts us next to the notary's work, and five years and thousands of files in, we know the role from the inside — what's easy, what's manual, what holds up the file, and where the risk actually sits.
The technology side
We're also engineers. Instant Title Search, modern title production tooling, document automation, fraud signals — the tools we have built for our own operation are the foundation for a notary platform: stamp-usage detection, commission monitoring, identity checks at the signing, a marketplace of signing work.
