Services
Everything a transaction needs between contract and recording, handled by one office.
Title Insurance
Owner’s and lender’s policies that protect against liens, encumbrances and defects in the chain of title.
We search the public record back through the chain of ownership, clear what we find, and issue a policy that stands behind the result. Buyers get an owner’s policy that lasts as long as they hold an interest in the property; lenders get the policy their loan requires.
Escrow & Settlement
A neutral third party holding funds and documents until every condition of the sale has been met.
From opening to disbursement we handle the earnest money, the payoff demands, the prorations and the closing statement — and we do not release a dollar until both sides have done what they agreed to do.
Title Search & Examination
A full examination of the public record to surface anything that clouds the title before it becomes your problem.
Deeds, deeds of trust, judgments, tax liens, mechanics liens, easements, CC&Rs and probate matters — we find them, report them in a preliminary title report, and tell you exactly what has to be cleared before closing.
Refinance Transactions
Fast, lender-ready title and settlement work for owners refinancing an existing property.
A refinance has a shorter fuse than a purchase and the lender sets the pace. We turn the preliminary report quickly, coordinate the payoff, and get the new deed of trust recorded on schedule.
Commercial Title
Title and escrow for land, multi-unit, industrial and investment property.
Commercial files carry entity documents, ALTA surveys, endorsements and multi-party approvals. We handle the added diligence and coordinate with counsel on both sides.
1031 Exchange Support
Coordination with your qualified intermediary so the exchange timeline holds.
The 45-day identification and 180-day closing windows do not move. We work directly with your intermediary to keep the settlement inside them.
