Built for Massachusetts closings
If you run a title agency, escrow company or real estate law practice in Massachusetts and need a website built — or your current one rebuilt — this page covers what we build into a Massachusetts title company website, the calculators and forms that come with it, and what it costs. Every site we design is built for the title industry only, and every Massachusetts build starts from the rules below.
Massachusetts is an attorney state by decision of its highest court: an attorney must conduct the closing, and in practice the closing attorney is also the title insurance agent. The website of a Massachusetts “title company” is the website of a conveyancing practice, and it has to earn Realtor and lender referrals as one. Title insurance rates are filed by each underwriter with the Division of Insurance.
The seller pays deed excise stamps when the deed is recorded, computed on the consideration, with land bank surcharges on Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard and a higher combined rate in Barnstable County. Some land is registered in the Land Court rather than recorded, which changes the documents and the fees. Registries of deeds are organized by district, not simply by county.
- Filed premium rates configured to your underwriter
- Deed excise stamps computed on the consideration, charged to the seller
- Cape and Islands surcharges applied by location
- Registry of deeds fees by district, with Land Court fees for registered land
- Local SEO for Greater Boston, MetroWest, Worcester, the North and South Shores and the Cape
- Seller net sheets accurate to Massachusetts conveyancing
Calculators built for Massachusetts, fitted to your site
This is the part we specialize in. Every calculator we put on a Massachusetts title website is configured to Massachusetts’s own numbers — filed premium schedules, the deed excise stamps the seller pays at recording, the higher rates on the Cape and Islands, registry of deeds fees by district, and the registered-land distinction that adds Land Court fees — not a national average with the state name swapped in. We build each one to match your branding and drop it into your site’s layout, so it looks like it was always there, not like a widget bolted on.
Pick the tools that fit how you close in Massachusetts. Here are the six we recommend most for Massachusetts agencies; there are fourteen in total.

Attorneys conduct the closing
Massachusetts requires an attorney to conduct the closing. The site is built for a conveyancing practice that also acts as title agent.
Deed excise stamps
The seller pays excise stamps on the deed at recording, at a higher rate on the Cape and Islands. The net sheet shows it.
Registered and recorded land
Some Massachusetts land is registered in Land Court. The site explains the difference and the fee tables follow it.
Forms that do the back-and-forth for you
Built into your Massachusetts site so agents, lenders, buyers and sellers submit everything online — no email tag, no paper chase. Every submission comes back to you as a completed PDF, ready to drop into the file in whatever title software you use. Branded to you and mobile-friendly. These six are the ones Massachusetts agencies use most; there are eleven in total.
Submit a Contract
Clients upload a signed purchase contract and any addenda — you open the file and start title work right away.
Open form →Buyer Information Sheet
Buyers complete intake online and you receive it as a PDF — or they download it to fill out by hand.
Open form →Seller Information Sheet
Sellers complete intake online and you receive a PDF — or download it to complete on paper.
Open form →Payoff Authorization
Sellers and refinancers e-sign to authorize a payoff request — so net sheets are accurate and prior liens clear at closing.
Open form →Open a Title Order
Agents and lenders open a new file in one step — property, parties, lender, and closing date. No back-and-forth emails.
Open form →Secure Document Upload
Clients upload IDs, payoffs, and sensitive documents through an encrypted portal.
Open form →A conveyancing practice that converts like a title company
Because only attorneys may conduct closings in Massachusetts, the firms competing for purchase and refinance files are law practices, and most law practice websites are built to look established rather than to generate orders. The lender or Realtor who lands on one finds attorney biographies and a phone number, and the file goes to the firm whose paralegal answered first.
A Massachusetts conveyancing practice wins referrals the way a title company does anywhere: by being the easiest office to work with. That means a title order form on the site, a seller net sheet the listing agent can run with the excise stamps computed, a buyer cash-to-close, and a page for each registry district the firm closes in.
We build that without making the firm look like a discount closing mill. The attorneys and the practice’s standing stay front and center; the tools sit underneath and do the work.
Registered land, the Cape, and the registries
A meaningful share of Massachusetts parcels are registered land under the Land Court’s Torrens-style system, with certificates of title and their own recording procedures and fees. Buyers who have never seen a Land Court certificate ask about it, and a site that explains registered versus recorded land in a paragraph earns trust that a generic FAQ cannot.
Geography matters too. The deed excise rate is higher in Barnstable County, and Nantucket and Dukes counties add land bank fees on top; a net sheet that applies the statewide rate on the Cape is wrong by thousands. Registries of deeds are organized by district — Middlesex South and North, Worcester and Worcester North, Essex South and North, Bristol in three — and the location pages that rank are the ones written for the towns those registries serve.
We build pages by market: Boston and Suffolk, the inner suburbs, MetroWest, the North Shore, the South Shore, Worcester, the Cape and Islands, each with the calculators configured to its registry and its excise rate.

Massachusetts title website questions
Does Massachusetts require an attorney at closing?
Yes. The Supreme Judicial Court has held that conducting a real estate closing is the practice of law, so an attorney conducts the closing. In practice the closing attorney also acts as title insurance agent, and we build the site for that practice.
What are deed excise stamps?
A tax the seller pays when the deed is recorded, computed on the consideration. The rate is higher in Barnstable County, and Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard add land bank fees. Our seller net sheet applies the correct rate by location.
What is registered land?
Land whose title is registered in the Massachusetts Land Court under a certificate system, as opposed to land recorded at the registry of deeds. Registered land has its own documents and fees, which our site explains and our fee tables reflect.
How are Massachusetts title rates regulated?
Each underwriter files its rates with the Division of Insurance. Premiums differ between underwriters, so the calculators are configured to yours.
Who pays for the owner's policy in Massachusetts?
The buyer customarily pays for the owner’s policy and the lender’s policy; the seller pays the excise stamps. The calculators default to those customs.
Can you build pages for individual registry districts and towns?
Yes. Each market you close in gets its own page, written for its towns and its registry, from Middlesex South to Barnstable.
How much does a title company website cost in Massachusetts?
Adding the Massachusetts calculators and online forms to a site you already have is $75 a month. A custom 25-page title company website with every calculator, forms, hosting and local SEO is $150 a month; a 50-page build with monthly content and ads management is $399. No setup fee and no long-term contract.
Can you rebuild our existing Massachusetts title agency website?
Yes. Most of our Massachusetts builds replace an older site. We migrate your content, keep your URLs so you do not lose rankings, add the Massachusetts-configured calculators and forms, and launch on secure, ADA-compliant hosting. If you would rather keep your current site, the Add-Ons plan places the tools on it without a rebuild.
Deed excise under M.G.L. c. 64D; attorney closings per Real Estate Bar Ass’n v. National Real Estate Information Services (2011). Verify current rates, registry fees and filed premiums before relying on any figure.
