Service Overview
Lien - Alternative Title

Equiguard & EaZyClose are available to FirstClose customers nationwide and is designed to streamline the closing process for all 2nd mortgage products. In addition to saving over half the cost of a title search, these title report alternatives also save time and effort used to clear up discrepancies found in a search. With Equiguard & EaZyClose, old mechanic liens, tax liens and other items that may be found on a title search do not delay the closing of the loan. Loans close faster, with less effort and with the added benefit of insuring a 2nd place lien position.

These alternatives are not offered in all states. Please check with our sales staff for availability in your area.
