Florida Title Insurance Services
We issue title insurance at title company rates on Florida real estate transactions in all 67 counties.
Our services include residential resale, refinance transactions, and title insurance through one of our title underwriting contracts. In comparison to most title companies, our title work is performed “in-house” by a Florida Bar board-certified real estate attorney with over 47 years of title examination experience. Most people do not realize that Florida law allows non-attorneys to become licensed title agents after only 40 hours of “education.” The title companies that do not self-examine send their title work out to a title clerk, sometimes even overseas. Some of these title clerks are not even familiar with the way things work in Florida. These companies typically charge higher prices for their closing services just to make up for their extra costs. Our “in house” examination allows rapid turnaround at competitive pricing because we do not mark up rates to cover outsourced title clerks. And of course, we quote our rates, in writing, and stick to it. Guaranteed.
