@Jasmine Wilborne I agree with most of the above. The ones Ian mentioned are pretty much my regulars. These are also the ones used by most investors I know. I would add Anthony Onwuanibe. I think all of his business is investor business. @Mike Kulnich I don't know Kevin at Colony Title but maybe I should.
Regarding King title, He is one of the very best. Many hard money lender insist on using him or at least having him prepare the loan docs. However i have found he does not like creative deals. He knows them, understands them but just doesn't want to take the risk of insuring creative deals. He will not insure properties we have acquired via tax sale for example. I have great respect for him but we don't use him.

I would have to concur with Rodney.. Dulaney Title & Escrow. I have been working with Drew for a while now and he is also extremely knowledgeable and looks out for you to make sure everything is done correctly. He has your best interest in mind. Also, you might want to check out Eagle Premier Title in downtown Baltimore -Canton. Ask for Jennifer. Continued success to you..

Hello Katrina,
I use Tia Gaymon of Olympus Title. They are investor friendly and very knowledgeable about the industry. Let he know Nillion sent you. I agree with @Account Closed who has so much experience as an investor.

I've used clearview title, dulaney title, masters title, premier eagle, and cohen and forman, all specialize and work with investors in Baltimore, and I would recommend them all since i've closed with them personally.

Kevin at Colony Title Group has handled my previous investment properties and is handling a current deal for me now. Always great to work with and understands the investment industry.

If you stick with big places, you wont get hurt. Small shops tend to come and go, and/or dont knownwhat they are doing. Use the legit place with the lowest fees, and use one against the other to lower them. Title insurance is a joke. The title companies get a 80+% kickback on the insurance premium cost to you from the title insurance issuer because the premium retention after claims industry wide in title insurance is 95%!!!! In all the other major insurances its 45%!!!! Aka, nobody ever makes a claim!!! Joke!

Thanks Ian Barnes. This is a great list. We've closed with 3 of the 5 and agree.
