Our Services
Our team of experienced and knowledgeable underwriters works
with customers to resolve any undesirable title issues so
that when the sale or loan of the property is complete, the
customer has a title insurance policy free and clear of any
clouds or exceptions that could jeopardize priority or
ownership of the land. An underwriter is assigned to each
closing to review recordable documents and consider requests
for special endorsements from lender or purchaser to
minimize the risk to all parties and to avoid coverage gaps.
This requires a thorough knowledge of the myriad of options
available through ALTA (American Land Title Association) and
a firm understanding of the latest policy trends and
local/state customs.
In addition, we will identify and usually solve potential
issues for lenders to the transaction. Loan policies are
required by most mortgage lenders in a commercial real
estate transaction. These loan policies insure the lender’s
interest in the property based on the dollar amount of the
loan and the existing exceptions of record.
Our underwriting team has worked with every type of complex
commercial real estate transaction: acquisitions,
dispositions, loan modifications, bankruptcies, workouts,
foreclosures and exchanges. Our extensive network of state
offices enhances our proficiency in national title
clearance, removal of liens and title insurance policy
issuance in all 50 states.
