What should you look for when choosing your Title Insurance agency?

Stability

You should insist on a title company with a stable financial history and an established background in your area. Your insurance has no benefit if your title company isn't around when you need it. A Policy from Select Title is backed by the financial strength of the largest Title Insurer in the United States. Added benefits from our polices should cost more, but because of an excellent reputation and relationship with our underwriter, be assured an extra cost is not passed on to you. We feel the extra investment in our clients and their security is worth the cost on our part.

Experience

Utah is full of inexperienced title companies that overcharge. Additionally, because it costs more to employ experienced, properly trained experts who have been in the industry longer, title agencies often sacrifice local experience for off-shore savings. Title Companies are state regulated and fees and costs are therefore extremely consistent among all Utah title agencies. That means it’s not going to cost you any more to order your title work and benefit from a reputable company that has in-house, properly trained staff that has someone available in a local office that will gladly answer any questions you may have.

Select Title is committed to staffing our company with the the finest in the industry. With over 125 years combined experience you can trust your real estate to our trained professionals.

Proper Equipment

One of the biggest assets a Title Company can posses is a Title Plant. Although only a handful of title companies in Utah County have a plant, it should be a necessity. Most property research is centered around title plants; they contain duplicates of documents and legal proceedings pertinent to real property recorded in the county recorder's office and other government agencies.

Title Companies that do not have an in-house Title Plant are usually the companies that send their work to be done offshore. Can you trust a title agency to be able to protect your property investment if they don't even do their own work? Can you even expect them to be able to accurately answer your questions? According to the American Land Title Association, there is a 36% chance these companies won't be able to produce the accurate work that your transactions require!

Access

It's about impossible in today's work climate to predict when you will want to access the files you have with your title company. The internet has spawned an entirely new way of doing business, and that means that your Title company needs to adapt to those needs. Files opened with Select Title are available to the pertinant parties 24/7 via our Closing Tracker interface. Additionally, Select Title provides mobile Escrow services, where needed, in addition to extended working hours and availability. We provide the service and tools you need to take care of your title and escrow needs.
