Stewart released its newest version of Virtual Underwriter system. This tool provides databases, manuals, forms and real estate practices that streamline the process.
Virtual Underwriter is open to the public and is utilized by underwriters, real estate attorneys, title examiners, closing officers and lenders. Since its inception 20 years ago, it has delivered real-time access to vital underwriting information 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The updated version includes a sleek, more user-friendly interface and streamlined navigation.
“Virtual Underwriter is the gold standard for underwriting resources for the title industry,” said Chief Legal Officer John Killea. “Stewart was among the first to create a modernized system, and we continue to lead the way.”
“We’re very proud of all the work and innovation that we’ve put into our underwriting tools,” Killea said. “Having excellent resources enables our talented underwriters to spend less time researching, and more time focusing on our customers and their needs.”
