You can hire a title insurance company or a real estate attorney for your real estate purchase or sale. The choice is completely up to you!

While considering choosing a title company versus a real estate attorney, you’ll want to think about the entire process, the title products, and your closing experience, as they can significantly vary.

Here are a few items to help your thinking as you’re considering your decision:

  • Communication - are they efficient and transparent?

  • Trust - do they have 5-star reviews online?

  • Accuracy and Professionalism - are they busy with other areas of their business, or are they focused on this line of work?

  • Flexibility - are they willing to come to you to close, anytime, anywhere?

  • Technology - are they reachable via email or text message? Do they use e-sign where appropriate or leverage other technology tools to make the process easier and more efficient?

  • Security - do they follow ALTA and CFPB?

  • Your overall closing experience - will you be happy with your overall experience when you walk away from the closing table?

Ultimately, it’s solely your decision on which company you use to close, just like you can choose who provides your car insurance or home insurance. Naturally, Lake Title & Escrow would love to serve you. Here’s why:

Communication and Trust

We want our transparent and efficient communication via telephone, email, text message, and in-person meetings to help provide you peace of mind and a smooth transaction. Real estate transactions have the potential to have a lot of “landmines” and hurdles, but our 20+ years of experience combined with efficient communication will help guide you through this important process.

We have a number of five-star reviews that mention our value of being responsive and communicative on Facebook and on Google.

ACCURACY AND PROFESSIONALISM

Title insurance is what we do, and we’ve been doing it for over 20 years. This line of work requires very careful work as details are so critical. Because this is what we do, you will have our undivided attention throughout the entire process. We uphold strict codes of security and confidentiality as we work towards making your real estate closing process as smooth as possible.

In late 2020 we are also rolling out Title Stream, allowing you to check on your closing process each and every day!

Need to reach us after-hours or on a holiday? No problem - shoot us a text message or email. We’re here to serve you.
