Title & Escrow · San Juan County, New Mexico
Unwavering Commitment.
Belonging That Endures.
Between a signed agreement and a recorded deed sit dozens of documents, requirements and people. We hold that ground — examining the title, coordinating the parties, safeguarding the funds — until what was promised becomes ownership.
What we do
Title and escrow in the same office, on the same file. One team, one closing date, and no gap between two companies who each assumed the other was handling it.

Protects the ownership you just paid for against the parts of its history no one can see.

What this is like from your side
Most people describe a closing by how much they had to chase. That is the part we are actually competing on.
You know who has your file.
One escrow officer, with a name and a direct line, responsible for your transaction from the day it opens until the day it records. Not a queue, not a shared inbox, not a case number.
You know what happens next.
What we are waiting on, who we are waiting on, and when we expect it. If something changes, you hear it from us before you have to ask.
Nothing sits because no one followed up.
Payoff demands, lender conditions, county requirements, HOA documents — each one has an owner and a date. The list gets worked daily.
Problems surface early.
A lien nobody disclosed. A signature missing from a deed recorded in 1998. An estate that was never probated. You will hear about it in week one, with what it takes to fix it — not at the signing table.
Title work in San Juan County
Ground here carries things that title work in most of the country does not have to account for. Knowing to look is most of the job.
Severed minerals
Surface and mineral estates were separated on much of this ground long ago. Most buyers are not acquiring what is underneath, and they should hear that from us before closing rather than discovering it years later.
Oil and gas of record
Leases, pipeline easements and rights of way run with the land and do not expire quietly. They belong in the commitment, explained, not buried in an exceptions list.
Water
Water rights are separate property in New Mexico and do not pass with the deed on their own. Irrigated acreage carries ditch assessments whether or not the water gets used.
Access
Legal access frequently crosses federal or state trust land and needs a recorded grant. Thirty years of driving across a neighbour’s ground is habit, not an easement, and no lender treats it as one.
How a transaction moves
Most people buy property a handful of times in their life. Here is the whole sequence, so none of it arrives as a surprise.
01
Opening
The contract arrives and the file opens the same business day. Everyone on the transaction gets confirmation, and the name of the person handling it.
02
Examination
We search the public record and examine the chain of title. The title commitment goes out with what we found and what it will take to clear.
03
Coordination
Payoff demands, lender conditions, HOA documents, county requirements. Each item has an owner and a due date, and the list moves every day.
04
Signing
Scheduled once the figures are final. Nothing put in front of you that has not been explained, and no number you are seeing for the first time.
05
Funding and recording
Funds verified and held in trust. The deed records with the San Juan County Clerk, and the transfer becomes a matter of public record.
06
Ownership
Funds disburse, the final statement goes out, the policy issues. What was agreed to in writing is now established on the record.
If you send us files
Agents, lenders, attorneys, builders and investors are not evaluating us on reassurance. They need a commitment they can rely on, conditions worked without being reminded, and a title company that will not damage the relationship they have spent years building with their own client.
Your client should never have to call you to find out what we are doing.
