Good customer service. They were in charge of the closing of my house when I bought it and later when I refinanced it. They are very efficient, helpful, and open to answer your questions.

As a home builder in Waco Ive dealt with multiple title companies. They are lacking in the customer service department. They were very short and aggressive. Would not recommend by the way I was treated.
