Title Insurance
Title insurance protects property owners and lenders against financial loss from title defects, liens, or ownership disputes. Our policies cover risks like fraud, missing heirs, and public record errors, ensuring secure property transfers. With options for owner's, lender's, and extended coverage policies, we provide comprehensive protection tailored to residential and commercial real estate transactions.
Escrow Services
Our escrow services facilitate secure real estate transactions by holding funds and documents until all agreement conditions are met. We manage impartial disbursements, coordinate inspections, and ensure compliance with buyer and seller instructions. This neutral third-party process protects all parties involved while streamlining complex transactions through detailed escrow instructions and timely execution.
Title Capture App
The Title Capture app provides instant title quotes, net sheets, buyer estimates, and preHUDs through desktop and mobile platforms. This tool streamlines transaction preparation by enabling digital document sharing and real-time calculations. Users benefit from increased efficiency, reduced paperwork, and faster closing timelines while maintaining accuracy in financial projections and client communications.
Plat Certificate Services
We prepare and update plat certificates for subdivision developments, ensuring compliance with county requirements. Our services include ownership verification, easement documentation, and restriction analysis to facilitate smooth title work for individual lot sales. This specialized support helps developers meet regulatory standards while expediting loan approvals and transaction processes for new construction projects.
Condominium Certificates
Our condominium certificate services assist developers in creating declarations and by-laws that comply with horizontal property regimes. We verify survey maps, site plans, and legal descriptions to ensure title insurability.

Report
Tracey is very rude and unprofessional. She does not listen nor try to help when an error had occurred. This is my own experience and opinion. She speaks down to you and does not even attempt to show any compassion.
