Title Companies Are Afraid Of Me!

I can't figure this out.

I am Canadian with complete US Business entity, Fed Tax Id, LLC have filed 2 tax returns and did 29 deals in Buffalo, NY. Now working Columbus, Oh market and can't get a title company to work with me. No answers they just run away when they hear I am Canadian. I have an Attorney, he has no problem with it, just would prefer to work direct with Title company.

Any Ideas or a link to OH State Title Company?

Thanks Mike Hepburn

Assuming you're purchasing in the business entity registered in the U.S., you're actually not Canadian (well, YOU are, but the buyer in the transaction is not). And that's all that matters...or at least all that SHOULD matter...

I see no reason why you should need to discuss the fact that you're Canadian at all. If they ask for an address for the company, give them your Registered Agent's address (which should be in the state where the company was organized/incorporated) or a local/U.S. address for the company. And then tell them that you have legal authority to sign on behalf the company and you just happen to be in Canada.
