Hello BP members,

I am looking for great recommendations for either an Title Company or an Attorney in the Maryland area. If anyone have any suggestions please contact me thank you!

@Uchenna A. Most title companies specialize in closing run of the mill deals for homeowners. Investors are often doing more creative deals that some title companies don't understand.  I have had title companies tell me "that is not legal" for perfectly legal deals. I also have had title companies tell my buyer "He does not have good title" when that was totally not true. 

I do a lot of tax sale foreclosures in Baltimore. I have had to teach some title companies what to do to handle one. I mean down to which building, floor and room to go into and which line to get in, along with  what order to do things. They still screwed it up. 

You are right, The work is basically the same. What you really need is a GOOD title company. 

I regularly use Holly at Clearview title, Anthony Onwuanibe at Golden Trust, Jeff Charlow at  Masters title and Escrow in Towson, John  Mitnick at Mitnick and Mitnick, Drew at Dulaney title and Cohen and Foreman.

    I really like Eastern Title (min as processor) and Definitive Title for Baltimore/ Eastern MD deals.  Closer to DC I use Allied, District Title, Universal, and Brennan.

    @Katorey Fields - I highly recommend Title Rite Services.  They are super friendly, work well with investors and conveniently located in Crofton.  Tell Sherry that Andrew and Erin sent you!

    Please what exactly does it mean for a title company to be “investor-friendly”? I ask because I think title work is the same regardless of whether I am an investor or not. I use Capitol Title in Ellicott City.

    Thank you Ned that was a really good break down. I didn't realize different Title companies aren't so investor friendly. I will keep that in-mind for next time and thank you for the recommendations by the way.

    I really liked using Holly at Clearview title, I used her twice last month and she very organized. I am using Drew at Dulaney currently which is also good. Both are investor friendly in my expierence.
