Title Insurance

We provide title insurance policies that protect property buyers and lenders from financial loss due to title defects. Our comprehensive title searches identify liens, ownership disputes, or legal issues before closing. Policies offer lifelong coverage with a one-time premium, ensuring peace of mind for property transactions.

Escrow Services

Our escrow services manage fund and document transfers during real estate transactions. We act as a neutral third party to ensure all contractual terms are met before closing. This includes holding earnest money, coordinating document signings, and disbursing funds according to agreed-upon conditions.

We facilitate smooth real estate closings for residential, commercial, and investment properties. Our team prepares all necessary documentation, coordinates with lenders and realtors, and ensures compliance with state and federal regulations.

Lien Satisfaction

We work with lenders and property sellers to resolve outstanding liens before closing. Our services include identifying existing debts, coordinating payoff amounts, and ensuring proper documentation for lien release. This process clears the title for transfer to the new owner.

Title Searches

Our detailed title searches examine public records to confirm property ownership and identify potential issues. This includes reviewing deeds, mortgages, tax records, and legal judgments. Accurate title verification prevents future claims and ensures a marketable title for transfer.

Burgess Title was very professional, and on time. Nothing less with William Miller involved. Christine Fleury made my clients very comfortable during the transaction. The transaction was very smooth. I will make Burgess Title/Miller a part of my real estate team.

Very dissatisfied with my experience with this firm. The agent who handled my closing did not do a very efficient job. She missed incorrect details in the paperwork that I had to inform her of, she provided inconsistent information, and was very rude when I addressed my concerns with her. Due to the way my closing was handled, I now have a delinquency on my credit file. When I asked to speak with the owner, my call was never returned. Hopefully the next client will be better informed of the process and can prevent their credit from being ruined.

I would absolutely love to give Burgess Title 5 stars but because of our experience l cannot give them a star.. We hired Burgess Title to handle our closing on a house we purchased on Sept. 7, 2018. Title insurance was also purchased at that time. After renovating the house we put the house under contract to sell with the closing to be on June 28, 2019. Days before the closing we found out that we did NOT have a clear title. Because of the negligence of Burgess Title we lost the sell of the house. On Oct 22, 2019 they sent us a title (a year and a month later) but by then as mentioned before, we

How does this company have high reviews? These people seem to fail to do what a title company is required or paid to do... I used them once for a rental, it was chosen by my realtor.
1. During signing I found discrepancies which I had to ask for them to fix. It was so blatantly obvious it made me wonder about the rest of the document.... but this is not my field expertise so I reviewed what I could.
2. Several months into me owning the property I find out that the property taxes were not paid by the former seller so I had to take care of that, which should have been something that was added

Had a really bad experience here!! Things were wrong on the closing statement, I had to actually point them out as they over looked it. They now owe me money back. They also charged me for printing. Wouldn't be using them for when I sell. Very unhappy with the service here. Going to see what I can do about getting my lawyer fees reduced or refunded for legal malpractice as technically overcharging me was not having my best interest in mind. Super upset. I would recommend finding another title company. Unhappy customer.
