Role comparison
A title company is essential, but it does not replace a transaction coordinator. Title handles title-related and settlement work. A coordinator keeps the whole contract-to-close file organized across title, escrow, lenders, clients, agents, signatures, deadlines, and closing logistics.
Comparison
Better for
Title search, title commitment, title clearance, settlement, recording, disbursement, and title-specific requirements.
Limit
Usually does not own the agent's full checklist, lender follow-up, broker file prep, client reminders, inspection dates, or every non-title dependency.
Onai fit
Onai follows up around title requirements and keeps title-related blockers visible in the full file context.
Better for
Whole-file coordination across deadlines, missing items, signatures, title, escrow, lender status, client reminders, broker review, and closing logistics.
Limit
Does not perform title work, escrow work, legal work, lending decisions, or broker compliance approval.
Onai fit
Onai coordinates with title and escrow while respecting that regulated title/escrow work stays with those parties.
Title is critical, but the file includes more than title. Inspection, appraisal, financing, documents, signatures, broker review, client reminders, walkthroughs, and final logistics all need coordination too.
Delays often happen when an item is not clearly owned by title, escrow, lender, agent, client, or broker review. A coordinator keeps asking what is blocking the next step.
Even when title is doing its work, the agent or team needs a practical operating view of the file. That view should make title requirements, lender timing, documents, and closing readiness visible.
Onai does not replace title or escrow. It coordinates around them, keeps their open items visible, and pushes the broader transaction file toward close.
