The work is technical. The communication shouldn’t be.
Lime keeps the file moving while giving the transaction parties a clear picture of what is done, what is outstanding, and what comes next.
One file. Different priorities.
Everyone at the table is asking a different question.
Select where you sit in the transaction. The underlying title work may be the same, but what matters to you—and what you need from Lime—is different.
For Michigan buyers
Know what you’re buying—and what happens next.
Lime reviews the title record, coordinates the title insurance and closing pieces, and helps make sure ownership can transfer as expected. You get a clearer picture of what is happening before signing day instead of meeting the title process for the first time at the closing table.

What title service actually includes
More than issuing an insurance policy.
A real estate closing depends on a chain of title, payoff, settlement, signing, funding, and recording work happening in the right order. Lime coordinates that chain.
Title insurance coordination
Prepare the title commitment and coordinate the owner’s and lender’s title insurance requirements applicable to the transaction.
Curative & payoff work
Coordinate payoff information and work through title requirements that need to be addressed before ownership can transfer and the file can close.
Escrow & settlement
Coordinate funds, charges, credits, prorations, and settlement figures so the parties can see how the transaction comes together financially.
Closing & signing
Prepare for signing, coordinate the closing, and help make sure the required documents and funds are in place for completion of the transaction.
Funding, recording & policy
Coordinate post-signing requirements, disbursement and recording, then complete the title-policy process after the transaction closes.
