How Canyon Title Fights Fraud with Proof | Proof
Since early 2022, Canyon Title has integrated Proof's digital notarization and identity verification platform into over 1,500 real estate transactions to enable faster, remote closings for out-of-state sellers while combating rising vacant land fraud through layered security measures and streamlined document processing features like bulk notarizations and custom signature blocks.
In real estate, timing is everything. For Canyon Title, helping sellers close quickly and securely—especially when they’re out of state—is a top priority. That’s why they’ve made Proof a core part of their process since early 2022.
With over 1,500 transactions powered by Proof and a sharp focus on seller-side deals, Canyon Title is saving time, improving the signer experience, and staying ahead of fraud.
Faster, Easier Closings for Sellers
Canyon Title relies on Proof to accommodate many of their sellers, many of whom are packing, moving, or remote. Proof gives them the flexibility to sign on their own time, from anywhere.
“It’s absolutely beneficial to the sellers,” said Shanda Gray, branch lead in Fort Collins. “They’re juggling so much. With Proof, they can close when it works for them.”
Instead of coordinating mobile notaries or in-person appointments, Canyon Title sends a secure digital link. Document setup takes just 5–10 minutes for their escrow officers, and every signer gets a guided signing experience with identity verification built in. With online closings legal in all 50 states, notarizations can now go digital too.
Built-In Safeguards Against Fraud
Vacant land fraud is on the rise. To stay ahead of evolving threats, Canyon Title layers Proof’s identity verification with internal checks like physical mail verification.
“We use Proof alongside our own tools to make sure we know who we’re dealing with,” said Jennifer Reynolds, team lead at the Denver Tech Center (DTC) office. “It gives us confidence—and gives our clients peace of mind.”
The Tools That Keep Business Moving
From notarizations to document customization, Proof helps Canyon Title move fast without sacrificing accuracy:
- Bulk notarizations: Power users like Taylor Tinberg, a Canyon Title escrow officer, rely on this feature to process multiple transactions efficiently—especially during busy closing periods.
- Custom signature blocks: Sometimes Canyon Title uses the auto-tagging feature and sometimes they add signature flags manually. Either way, their team is able to tag documents quickly and efficiently, and Proof helps prevent missed signatures compared to paper processes.
- Streamlined setup: Creating a new transaction takes just 5–10 minutes, saving time and reducing bottlenecks for the team.
When signers hit a snag—whether it’s trouble uploading an ID or failing knowledge-based authentication (KBA)—Proof’s support team is there to help. With fast, responsive assistance, Canyon Title’s clients get unstuck quickly and finish their transactions with confidence.
Proof doesn’t just make real estate transactions easier. It helps Canyon Title deliver a better experience, protect against fraud, and operate at the pace their clients expect.
A Platform That Pays Off
The results speak for themselves: 20–30 minutes saved per transaction, higher closing volumes, and happier sellers.
