Yes — an escrow or title company's records can be licensed to AI companies, and your firm is a strong candidate: every transaction you have closed left a deep written file, and years of those files are exactly the kind of archive buyers pay for.

Escrow & title: years of closed files may be worth real money

AI developers pay to see how real work moved through a real business. An escrow or title firm produces some of the most complete records in business — a transaction file that starts at an opened order, runs through search, documents, signatures and funding, and ends in a closed, recorded deal. Buyers license a cleaned copy of records like yours, with names and identifiers taken out. You keep your originals, and your day-to-day work does not change.

QualifyData is a broker. We put your archive in front of 15 AI companies, they bid, and we submit the best offer to you in writing. You go through the process one time instead of once per buyer.

No cost. No commitment. No logins, no records handed over — just a few questions about the size of your archive.

What records does an escrow or title company hold?

More — and more connected — than most businesses. These are the records firms like yours commonly keep:

• Transaction and closing files — the complete file on every deal, from opened order to recorded closing.
• Email threads with all parties — buyers, sellers, agents, lenders and attorneys working the same transaction in writing.
• Title search and examination records — searches, commitments, and the work product behind them.
• Document preparation files — drafts, revisions, and executed documents.
• Scheduling and signing coordination — calendars, appointment records, and the messages that set them.
• Accounting records — disbursement and ledger records, trust accounting, and the firm's own books.
• Team communication and client records — internal chat and the systems that track orders and contacts.

What matters most is how many sources a firm has and what kind of records they hold. Years of transactions running across email, search records, documents, scheduling and accounting is a deep archive — and depth is what buyers are pricing.

What pays — and what does not pay

Client files are sensitive — how is privacy handled?

It is handled before any AI developer sees anything, and you control what goes in the first place. This is the part of the process built for firms whose files hold other people's information:

• You pick which systems and which years go. Nothing leaves until you sign a license that lists exactly what is included.
• Identifiers are replaced before any developer sees a line. Names, emails, phone numbers and addresses are swapped for labels — a person becomes "Person 01" — dates are generalized, and card and bank numbers and anything about minors are left out entirely.
• Only the buyer's cleaning process ever sees the raw copy. Developers receive the cleaned version only.
• You can ask to see a cleaned sample first — before anything is final, so you can judge the result yourself.
• The raw copy is deleted on a schedule set in your license, and buyers typically agree not to name your firm publicly.
• We never touch your data. Your records go straight from your systems to the AI company you sign with — never through us.

One thing we will say plainly: this page is information, not legal advice. Whether a given set of files can be licensed is a call for your own counsel. Your attorney is welcome on the intro call and reviews every agreement before you sign it.

What size firm fits?

Escrow and title sits in the finance family for fit purposes, and finance firms qualify smaller than most. The general shape:

Field staff and independent notaries do not drive this — what counts is the desk team and the written record their work created.

We've closed files for years — do old transactions count?

Yes. Old transactions are not leftovers in this market — they are the archive itself. Every deal your firm has closed left a finished file: the order, the search, the documents, the correspondence, the funding. Ten or fifteen years of closings means ten or fifteen years of complete, connected records — and that depth is a large part of what an offer is based on.

You also choose the window: include your full history, or start with the years you are most comfortable with. The intake call covers counts and sizes only, system by system and year by year.

What about a firm that closed?

A closed escrow or title firm is measured as it was at its peak — the desk staff it had in its final stretch of real operation, the years of transaction files it built, the systems it ran on. If the records still exist and you hold authority over them, they can still be licensed. There is one real deadline: records in accounts that get cancelled or left to lapse can go with the accounts, so the order is license first, cancel after. The full picture is on our page for closed companies.

What is not a fit?

Some firms are too small or too thin on paper for buyers to work with, and we would rather say so here than waste your time:

• Fewer than about 10 people at desks — a one- or two-person operation rarely has the volume buyers need.
• Under 3 years of records — the archive has not had time to build depth.
• Work that left almost nothing in writing — if most transactions were handled by phone and paper, there is little for a buyer to license.
• Records the firm no longer has access to — if the systems and files are already gone, there is nothing to work with.

If your firm is close to the line, the five-minute check is still the fastest way to find out — the buyers make the final call, not us.
