OfflineI have a lot of respect for title companies. I have found them to be very reliable through the years. They do a great job of getting the papers ready for closing and getting needed research done. The requirements for a title company are very strict in most states. Because of that there are very few errors committed by title companies.
Most title companies will not rush a deal just to make people happy. They know and understand the need to get things right. Remember this the next time someone blames the title company. Remember, they are simply protecting all involved.

I agree. I have found, and said many times, that a good title agent (escrow officer), is worth their weight in gold. They will do just about anything for you. Even if you don't have a transaction open with them. They will do all kinds of research and they tend to be more knowledgeable about the legalities of a transaction the anybody.
Sometimes they'll even take you to a nice lunch, either to thank you for your business, or because they want your business.
