Title Search & Abstract Services
Statewide title searches in nine states
Document Retrieval Network provides complete real estate title search and abstract services in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. Our trained abstractors search the county records directly — grantor/grantee indexes, mortgage and lien records, judgment dockets, tax records, and probate filings — and our in-house examiners review every report before it is delivered to you.
Whether you are a title agent ordering a current owner search for a refinance, a servicer who needs foreclosure searches across several states, or an investor performing due diligence on a portfolio, you get the same thing from us every time: an accurate, easy-to-read report, delivered on time, in a consistent format across all nine states.

Our Process »
Searched locally, examined centrally
Title standards, indexing practices, and record availability vary dramatically from state to state — and often from county to county. Our model pairs researchers who know their local records with a central examination team that enforces one standard of quality:
Local search: The order is dispatched to a researcher who works those county records regularly and knows their quirks — indexing gaps, special assessments, records that never made it online.
Central examination: Before delivery, our in-house examiners review the search for completeness, verify the legal description and chain, and format the report consistently — so a New Jersey search reads like a Kentucky search.
Delivery and archive: Completed reports are delivered securely and archived in our client portal, where you can retrieve them 24/7.
