Title Examinations

An abstract of title, or title examination, summarizes the history of recordings of deeds, mortgages, and other documents which affect ownership of a parcel of land. We provide title examination services to our clients, whether they are purchasers, lenders, owners looking to refinance, or other interested parties to determine that the seller or owner of the property in fact owns the property and has a free-and-clear title. A free-and-clear title is one without any “cloud” or any interest in or claim to the property by any other person or business.


Closing and Escrow

Our team of closing and escrow professionals provide end-to-end closing and escrow services to a wide range of clients, from large national banks and mortgage lenders to local banks, credit unions, and mortgage brokers. We have decades of experience in both residential and commercial transactions and can handle virtually any lender requirements or instructions to ensure a smooth closing and borrowers confident in their decision. We understand that the settlement and closing process is complicated whether it is for a first-time home buyer or a commercial or industrial acquisition and give each client white-glove treatment from start to finish.


Title Insurance

The purchase of your home, farm, or business facility is likely the largest purchase you will ever make. We provide confidence through our title examination services and offer peace of mind with owners’ title insurance policies, underwritten by First American Title Insurance Company.

Realtors, lenders, or purchasers can obtain either owners’ or lenders’ title insurance quotes using our integrated title and closing order platform, available on our website.
