We issue title insurance policies as an authorized agent for three major underwriters. Our attorney examines title work to identify potential issues before closing. This protects property owners and lenders against financial loss from title defects, liens, or ownership disputes while ensuring marketable title transfer.

We act as neutral escrow agent for contract deposits and post-closing matters. Our services include holding funds securely, managing FIRPTA escrows, and coordinating disbursements according to transaction terms. We maintain strict accounting practices to ensure all financial aspects are handled accurately and transparently throughout the closing process.

Our attorney prepares essential real estate documents including purchase agreements, FIRPTA compliance materials, and closing paperwork. We ensure all legal forms meet current regulations while accurately reflecting transaction details. This service helps streamline the closing process and prevents delays from documentation errors or omissions.

We conduct thorough title examinations to identify potential issues affecting property ownership. Our process includes checking for outstanding mortgages, liens, code violations, and unpaid utility charges. We resolve title problems efficiently while providing clear explanations of any issues found and their potential impact on the transaction.

Report
I had a closing in this title company in 2013, when I sold a house that I had purchased years ago. And I needed to sell it as a fixer upper in as is condition. I was treated very professionally and my experience went smoothly between the buyer and myself. But I don't remember leaving my review for Ashley Title Co. But since I'm planning on doing another closing there again soon. I wanted to take the time to write this review of appreciation with my experience with them.
