Qualia: Core is cloud title and escrow production, Atlas the enterprise tier, Connect the consumer portal, Shield wire fraud. Qualia: Acquisitions took out serious competitors: Adeptive’s ResWare in December 2020, then RamQuest and E-Closing from Old Republic. Qualia: Buyers rate it 4.7 out of 5 across more than 200 verified Capterra reviews, praising interface and consolidation. Qualia: What decides it is whether you will adopt Qualia’s process, because the steadiest complaint is workflow rigidity. Rocket Close: Rocket Close is the renamed Amrock, the title and settlement arm of Rocket Companies. Rocket Close: It also handles appraisals. Rocket Close: It is a service business, not licensable software: brokers order through the Rocket Pro Portal, and lenders receive. Rocket Close: Judged as a title vendor, it has national scale and a tight loop with Rocket Mortgage. Rocket Close: That is genuinely useful if your volume already flows through that channel.
