Anyone else processing real estate closing docs?

Hey all — I work at a title company and we process hundreds of closing documents per month. Deeds, title commitments, closing disclosures, settlement statements, the works.

I’ve been experimenting with Qomplement for extracting data from closing disclosures and HUD-1 settlement statements, and it’s working pretty well for the standardized forms. But I’m curious if anyone else in real estate is using it and has tips for:

  1. Handling the wide variety of title commitment formats (every underwriter has their own)
  2. Extracting specific clauses/exceptions from title reports
  3. Processing recorded documents (often poor quality scans)

Would love to connect with others in the industry. Real estate docs have their own special quirks.

Not real estate specifically, but I deal with a lot of varying document formats in procurement. The approach that worked for me was creating a ‘base’ template with the common fields and then variants for each major format. Might work for your title commitments too.

I work with legal docs that have similar variability issues. For the poor quality scans — have you tried adjusting the scan resolution before uploading? I found that 300 DPI is kind of the sweet spot. Below that, accuracy drops off a cliff.
