Hello,
I'm looking for a good title company in northwest Washington preferably in the Burlington / Mount Vernon area. I'm interested in buy and hold but if a wholesale opportunity shows up I'd like to take advantage of that strategy. I called Skagit Title to ask them if they ever work with wholesalers and they responded to me as if I were a criminal. Their derogatory attitude was a little off putting. Any referrals or advice would be appreciated.
I work with First American Title. They are generally very investor friendly. PM me - I can connect you with my account rep. I've heard good things about Chicago Title too.
@Matt Joplin Unfortunately, a lot of the title companies mentioned in this chain do not have offices in Skagit County. In short, if the property is located in Skagit, you need to work with a title company in Skagit.
First American has been okay but I have had better luck with Chicago title and escrow. However, instead of asking if they'll work with wholesalers you should probably ask if they have any familiarity with contract assignments. It may help to state the Northwest MLS form number 32.
