Deal contigent on using "MY" title (escrow) company
Recently, I have made several offers and I have had sellers electing to walk away from the deal, if I would not agree to use "their" title company.
Obviously, I am missing something here; but, what is clear to me, 'one who controls the keys, controls the castle'. Although, I am not sure how the deal become advantageous for them when using "their" title company versus accepting "my" title company.
Thank you in advance for shedding a little light on this topic.

I have had people that were adamant about using their title company.. so I used them. As long as they can do an assignment I don't mind who we use even though I have one I prefer to use. I assume you can answer your question by stating why you are determined to use your own title company. It is probably the same answer for them.
