I have been in this "business" since 1981.  I have served as a Loan Officer & Lender, Branch Manager, Real Estate Agent, Title Officer & Examiner/Searcher, Escrow Officer, Customer Service Manager, Sales Representative & Account Executive, etc.  I have worked at six different Title companies and with several other related agencies.  Therefore, I have a very good working knowledge of various practices & procedures within this industry.

Success on Your Terms

Old Republic Title Company and its underwriter Old Republic National Title Insurance Company, herein "Old Republic" provides real estate transfer products and services for individuals, businesses and governments. Our services are highly comprehensive and flexible to respond to changing market environments and to ensure your transaction is settled according to the most current industry standards. We're committed to expediting the timely close of your real estate transaction by underwriting and managing each transaction with the highest levels of technical skill, client services and professional integrity.

Certainty Matters

When real estate ownership is transferred, the stakes are high and reputations are on the line. Every participant in the transaction needs to know the exact possibilities and limitations presented by the transfer. This is what makes title examination and insurance services - like those provided by Old Republic - invaluable. Old Republic minimizes the risks of real estate transactions by providing an insured statement about the ownership.

Reputation at Work

Old Republic is a subsidiary of Old Republic International Corporation, a Fortune 500 company. Old Republic has issued title insurance for over 99 years and currently serves clients in more than 49 states. We offer residential and commercial title insurance products and services through a national network of branch offices, subsidiaries and over 3,000 independent policy-issuing agents.

When you work with Old Republic, Our Experience is Your Advantage.

Financial Strength

For the 14th consecutive year, Old Republic National Title Insurance Company (Old Republic Title) has received Standard & Poor's highest rating awarded to a title insurance company, with Old Republic Title's current rating being AA. We've also received the title industry's only A1 financial strength rating from Moody's Investor Services and are the only national title insurer with a AA- rating from Fitch Ratings.

These ratings reflect Old Republic Title's consolidated operating performance, excellent capitalization, good liquidity, sound investment strategy, reserve adequacy, market position and its strategic relationship with Old Republic International Corporation. Overall, our unequaled ratings indicate secure claims-paying ability and high financial stability, an independent assessment yet to be matched by any other title underwriters.

Parent Company

Old Republic International Corporation, which traces its beginnings to 1923, is one of the nation's 50 largest publicly held insurance organizations. Its subsidiaries market, underwrite and provide risk management services for wide variety of coverage's in the property and liability, mortgage guaranty, title, life and health insurance fields.

We believe our success rests on the Company's entrepreneurial spirit, sound forward planning, and a corporate culture that encourages assumption of prudent business risks tempered by a conservative approach to asset and capital management. As insurance underwriters, we know that we cannot be all things to all people; we therefore manage a diverse but highly focused book of insurance risks. We have structured our business to enable participation in several insurance segments to counter natural cyclicality and lead to reasonably balanced and consistent returns over time.

Products and Services

One Stop Shop

In general, mortgage companies, lenders, Independent Escrow companies, and even Title companies have to shop around and find someone to service their "out of county" and/or "out of state" needs. This division is designed to be a "one stop shop."  We can even provide Title product and other necessary services in the "Attorney states" (GA for example), CRESPA states (VA), and LPO (limited practice officer) state (WA).  The only state I choose not to service is NM.  We have a network of resources all over the US and personnel contacts that have local knowledge in every area of the United States.  Feel free to use us as another resource; it's a good business decision.

Title Services

Insured ownership is at the heart of every transaction. We work to remove any recorded encumbrances which are inconsistent with the terms of the transaction. We offer traditional, fully-insured products like ALTA policies, as well as innovative products and insurance policies in the refinance, second mortgage and equity markets. We respond quickly to unique circumstances with flexible, creative approaches to title insurance.

Escrow Services

The careful management of assets ensures a smooth transaction. We coordinate and process the entire real estate and mortgage closing procedure. Our services include: document gathering, HUD-1 preparation, loan funds disbursement, escrow withholding and document recording with the appropriate government authority - all done in accordance with our clients' instructions.

We serve as a neutral third party working to benefit the entire transaction and the parties involved. Our escrow personnel are proficient at complying with complicated escrow instructions.

Customer Service

Ongoing commitment contributes to long-term success. We offer the best customer service in the industry. Our network of professionals is complemented by online customer support that's available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with resources and answers to common questions. We have web-based tools for our employees and their clients who need to place orders for bundled services. These tools allow the client team to create orders, track status, update information and monitor status around the clock.

Ordering Title and Escrow

Just simply e-mail me your order sheet (or I can provide you with one), and I'll respond with our order number verifying your transaction has been opened.  Fee quotes will be sent to you as quickly as possible for each transaction.

On-Line Ordering

We also offer on-line ordering if you are interested in that service.  It generally only takes a couple of minutes and you automatically receive an open order number in that e-mail confirming the search & Title report is in progress.  Just call or e-mail me if you wish to set this up.  It only takes about 10 minutes to get you set up on-line.  This feature is excellent if your people are going to open a large volume of orders, or if it's after normal business hours and you wish to get your order processed asap!  The Preliminary Title reports & commitments are opened immediately regardless of what time they are opened & can be opened from any computer anywhere!  I wish I had that option when I was a Loan Officer & Real Estate Agent!

Calyx POINT Integration

For lenders who have standardized on Calyx POINT as your loan origination software, you can order title and escrow products within six clicks of your mouse directly from the POINT application!

For many lenders, opening an order for title and/or escrow products can be inconvenient. Traditional methods include phone calls, faxes or even re-keying the order information into a company's website. Each of these methods is time consuming and subject to errors.

With Old Republic's "ORpoint" software you can simply place an order for title and escrow directly from within the "borrower information" in POINT!! Your software allows you to electronically transfer the relevant customer information to our order form - within six clicks of your mouse!

Using the ORpoint software yields many customer benefits including:

• Improved efficiency - Enter borrower information one time into POINT - the same customer data transfers directly to Old Republic for the title and escrow order.
• Save time - No more faxes, no more voicemails to escrow officers, no more time spent re-keying information; customer data flows seamlessly to Old Republic. Order title and escrow within six clicks of a mouse!!
• Lower cost per order - Improved efficiencies lowers your cost per transaction.
• Increase transactions - Improved efficiencies also allows you to process more transactions; more transactions equals more revenue!
• Shorter processing cycle - POINT orders flow directly to our title plant for processing which results in a faster turnaround of prelims.

Service with a Smile :-)

We will do the best we can to make you look good in front of your clients and customers!  Don't be afraid to let us know exactly what you need on every deal.  It's all about communication and service!
