Chicago Title Company

One of a handful of veteran escrow officers that you can count on one hand. Annamarie Lo Coco, Dee Goodrich and Vicky CristinI are all the fifth degree escrow black belts. They know the ins and outs of technical projects. Bond financing etcetra.
My last deal with Dee saved my client 10, s of thousands of dollars in prepayment penalty fees 2-​days before the close of escrow due to some loophole she was able to identify. As I recall it was close to $ 90K. These are all the priceless tools that these great escrow officers along with some attorneys, accountants and experience junior escrow officers find in a deal to add value to your clients and save a lot of money.
Can’t say enough great things about these highly sought-​after professionals.
Respectfully,

Do not use Chicago Title! This company is very shady and does NOT have your best interests at heart! When you purchase title insurance, if something goes wrong, then that is what you purchased the title insurance for! Apparently this title insurance company does not feel that way.
I re-​financed my house a few years ago and Chicago Title was the company that re-​titled my house after the re-​fi. They made a mistake which cost me quite a bit of money when I sold my home and moved out of San Diego, due to being transferred to another state in service for the U.S. Navy. Chicago Title even paid for my «new» survey and then fixed the title issue during the sale/​selling process, which in my book, basically amounts to admitting guilt and are responsible! For the most part none of us are experts when it comes to real estate and title insurance.
During this whole process, Cameron (Chicago Title Rep) at Ascent Reality led me (and my lawyer) to believe that Chicago Title would be open to a claim after the completion of the sale. However, upon submitting that claim they immediately said no and passed the ball claiming that it was the original title company’s fault and I should pursue it with them. The claim was not enormous and I was only asking for the remainder of the the original price I was offered (and the lawyer fees) until I had to drop the price in order to sell this property due to the title issue. I find it shameful that a company as big as Chicago Title would treat a six time combat veteran this way!
This is in NO WAY a reflection on Ascent Reality as they were amazing and I cannot praise them enough for the job they did! Truly a great reality company! However, if you want to actually have the title insurance that you purchase when you buy your property I would most definitely NOT recommend Chicago Title. They are shady and do not honor their insurance claims! You DO have a choice of what title company you use when you purchase property regardless of who your reality company uses! Do yourself a favor and use a different company, there are many out there!

This is the top title company in the industry. full service and the team is amazing. They closed my transaction smoothly and a great team effort Thank You Chicago Title

The most secure company and best customer service ever. Write them in to all transactions. They have an incredible staff, sales representatives and escrow services.

I am an attorney that handles complex real estate and bankruptcy transactions. Recently I had a client that needed bankruptcy court approval to be able to sell her house. Melissa Watt at Chicago Title was instrumental in making sure the transaction was completed on time and in an orderly manner. Ask for Melissa for all of your escrow needs! She is friendly, professional and knows how to get the job done!

These folks are fantastic! I worked with Teresa McElaney and her team, especially Don Larson. They were on top of everything and Don went over and above to get my purchase closed despite a nightmarish experience with the lender. I can’t recommend them highly enough!
