Open a title order in the South Bay or Westside
Send us the property and parties — we'll open the file and confirm the same business day.
What opening an order does
Opening a title order starts the file at Fidelity National Title. You send the property and the parties. Matt Goeglein and Xavier de la Piedra IV open the order and confirm it. The line already on this page says that confirmation is the same business day. The preliminary title report is the document that comes out of an open file. If you want a plain-English explanation of that report before you send anything, the prelim page covers it and uses this same kind of form.
This page is for agents, escrow officers, and lenders who have a property and parties. It is not a neighborhood mailing list and it is not a one-address profile for a listing appointment that is not in escrow yet.
What to send
The form asks for your name, email, and phone, the brokerage if you have one, which side you represent, the price if you know it, and the full address. Buyer and seller names go in the parties box. A target close date and special instructions help when vesting is a trust or an LLC, or when escrow is already open at a particular company. If you know the assessor's parcel number, put it in the notes.
Send the buyer's email when you have it. Alerts and the file itself are easier to deliver when that address is on the order from the start. If something about the parties is still unknown, say so. An incomplete guess is less useful than a blank you plan to fill.
