Residential Title Insurance

Owner and lender policies for one-to-four family homes, condos and co-ops across our eight-county footprint.

What this is

Owner and loan policy coverage protecting against defects, undisclosed liens, boundary and access problems, probate and fiduciary issues, forgery and fraud in the chain of title. We handle endorsements and CPL issuance where applicable and clear exceptions proactively rather than at the closing table.

Where it is available

This service is available in every county we cover. Recording practice, municipal search sourcing and local terminology vary by county — select yours for the specifics.

Common questions

How quickly can you turn this around?

Turn time depends on the county and the search package. Municipal searches and county-level returns move at the pace of the agency producing them, and a recording rejection resets that clock. We give you a realistic date at order rather than an optimistic one, and we tell you as soon as something slips.

Who will I actually be dealing with?

A named contact is assigned when the order opens, and you get direct access to the senior examiner on the file. You are not routed through a general queue.

Can you work with my existing title production platform?

In most cases, yes. Orders can be delivered as a structured payload into a production system or CRM rather than as an email. Tell us what you run and we will scope the integration.

What do you need from me to start?

At minimum: the property address and county, the transaction type, and the parties. Everything else — contract, existing deed, payoff information, survey, entity or trust documents — speeds the file up and can be uploaded securely at any point.
