Built for Rhode Island closings
If you run a title agency, escrow company or real estate law practice in Rhode Island and need a website built — or your current one rebuilt — this page covers what we build into a Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island build starts from the rules below.
Rhode Island closings are conducted by attorneys, who typically act as title insurance agents, and title insurance rates are filed by each underwriter with the Department of Business Regulation. The seller pays a real estate conveyance tax computed on the consideration when the deed is recorded. And Rhode Island has no county government: deeds are recorded with the clerk of the city or town where the property sits, each with its own fee schedule.
The buyer customarily pays for the owner’s policy. The state is small enough that a single firm can close everywhere in it, and the searches that matter are by city and town — Providence, Warwick, Cranston, Newport, Westerly — not by a county nobody uses. A Rhode Island site is organized that way.
- Filed premium rates configured to your underwriter
- Real estate conveyance tax computed on the consideration, charged to the seller
- Recording fees by city and town
- Order intake built for an attorney-run closing practice
- Local SEO by city and town, from Providence to South County and Newport
- Seller net sheets accurate to Rhode Island customs
Calculators built for Rhode Island, fitted to your site
This is the part we specialize in. Every calculator we put on a Rhode Island title website is configured to Rhode Island’s own numbers — filed premium schedules, the real estate conveyance tax the seller pays at recording, and recording fees set by each of the thirty-nine cities and towns, because Rhode Island has no county recording — 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.

Forms that do the back-and-forth for you
Built into your Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island 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 →Lenders pick the closing attorney who answers first, unless the site already did
Rhode Island’s closing market is small enough that the same lenders, the same Realtors and the same handful of firms see each other on every file, and a large share of the volume is refinance work that a lender assigns to whichever attorney can turn a commitment fastest. The firm that makes that assignment effortless — a CPL request that takes a minute, a commitment ordered from a phone, a status page the processor can check without calling — gets the next one.
That is a website feature, not a staffing feature. We build Rhode Island closing sites with lender-facing intake at the top: order a commitment, request a CPL, upload a payoff, schedule a closing. The Realtor-facing tools sit beside them: a seller net sheet with the conveyance tax computed, a buyer cash-to-close with the owner’s premium where Rhode Island custom puts it.
Providence’s three-deckers and condo conversions, the East Side’s older titles and the Bay’s waterfront parcels each raise their own examination questions, and the order form asks the ones that matter so the file opens complete.
Towns, not counties, and a coastline full of second homes
Rhode Island’s five counties exist on maps and nowhere else. Deeds are recorded with thirty-nine city and town clerks, each with its own fees, and nobody searches for a closing attorney in Washington County; they search Narragansett, Westerly, South Kingstown. The pages that rank are the ones written for towns, and the recording fee calculator has to be tabled by town.
The coast — Newport, Jamestown, Narragansett, Block Island, Westerly — is a second-home market whose sellers are often in Florida and whose buyers are in Connecticut or Massachusetts at signing, and the pages there are written for remote parties. Providence, Warwick and Cranston are the volume market where the order form and the net sheet lead.
Same calculators, same intake, one funnel, a front door in every town you close in.

With the clerk of the city or town where the property sits. Rhode Island has no county recording, so our location pages and fee tables are organized by city and town.
How are Rhode Island title rates regulated?
Each underwriter files its rates with the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation. Premiums differ between underwriters, so the calculators are configured to yours.
Who pays for the owner's policy in Rhode Island?
The buyer customarily pays for the owner’s and lender’s policies. The calculators default to that and can be changed per deal.
Can you build pages for individual Rhode Island towns?
Yes. Providence, Warwick, Cranston, Pawtucket, Newport, Narragansett, Westerly and any other city or town you close in each get a page written for it.

Adding the Rhode Island calculators and online forms to a site you already have is $75 a month.

No setup fee and no long-term contract.
Can you rebuild our existing Rhode Island title agency website?
Yes. Most of our Rhode Island builds replace an older site.

If you would rather keep your current site, the Add-Ons plan places the tools on it without a rebuild.
