As for my self i have been designing web sites for Title Agencies, Mortgage Companies, Realty Offices and the likes for over 4 years. Coming from the Mortgage field (originating loans for 3 years) i felt i knew what should be in a website for these types of business being that i had delt with them for so long. I have made many websites that are similar to what you are looking for. Most of the time rather then just giving an application page i would either integrate the application directly into their LOS whether it be Calyx, Genesis, or whatever.
