How to Choose a Title Company

Title & Closing
1

Hey guys, does anyone have any tips/criteria on how to find an “investor-friendly” title company? It looks like I might close on a deal in Oregon soon (my first) and am looking for one to work with. I didn’t see anything in the course that discusses this in detail but if I missed please point me to the section or video. Thanks!

Not sure about Oregon specifically (don’t see any listed for the state of Oregon on the site), but on the retipster homepage, click on resources > professional directories > closing attorneys and title companies. You can sort by state. If you find one in Oregon in your own search, consider adding it to the list to help the community!

Hi @Samuel_Berry - I don’t have any in Oregon off the top of my head, but when you find one (and assuming you’re happy with them), and I’m sure you will, would you mind adding them to our list?

If you’re looking in any other markets, you can find our member-curated list of investor-friendly title companies here:

Thanks for the replies. Will do.

For an investor-friendly title company, look for ones with experience in handling real estate investments and a strong track record in your area. It’s also helpful if they offer flexible services and quick turnaround times. Consider asking for recommendations from local investors or checking online reviews. Good luck with your deal!

Thank you to everyone who responded. I ended up working with an agent from First Amercian Title, which had an office in the area the property was. Everything went well, my only complaint is that the agent missed a few small details during the process. All said and done I was able to sell the property to a neighbor the same day I closed on it. Looking forward to the next one!

Thanks for reporting back! Glad it went relatively well.

At the end of the day, we’re all still working with humans (for now… maybe that will change soon), which means mistakes can happen.

I had a similar experience closing with another huge, nationwide title company once. If I hadn’t been looking closely and caught their mistake, it would’ve totally screwed up our closing. The devil is always in those details!
