Hi everyone, I’m hoping to get some recommendations.
I’m based in the Dallas Fort Worth area and am looking for a solid title company in Collin County or Dallas that’s investor-friendly and comfortable working with assignments.
I’m focused on building long-term relationships with the right people and working with a team that values clear communication, integrity, and doing things the right way.
If you’ve had a good experience with a title company in the area, I’d really appreciate any recommendations.
Thank you in advance!

Smaller title insurer’s as well as independent agencies used to contain some companies that were well known to “expedite” around many title “problems” for investors that provided a significant amount of business to them. I know as I was one such investor. But here’s why there aren’t any title companies today that operate in the same space to anywhere near the same extent
1. The title insurers have consolidated into 15 large insurers. The smaller insurer specializing in investors no longer exists
2. Tighter state regulation by the state insurance agencies that provide oversight
3. Independent agencies face tighter parameters and restrictions imposed on the, by the insurers they represent.
4. More insurer owned offices and less independent offices
5. Availability of state title information on line has centralized underwriting and in all but the smallest counties independent abstract companies have been eliminated.
That being said there are still a few individuals who can and will do things like
1- obtain a preliminary title report in 24 hours when everyone else is quoting 7 days
2- obtain the information necessary to insure around an old lien when nobody else want’s to bother
3- Push the limits of what an underwriter will allow in regards to things like POA, etc.
Good luck

Good luck@Don Konipol Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain that perspective. That actually helps put things into context.
I’m definitely not looking for anything that cuts corners, just a solid, reliable title company that’s responsive and experienced and willing to working with investors and assignments.
If you happen to know anyone in the DFW area who stands out in that way, I’d really appreciate it!

Following up on this, has anyone here worked with Republic Title (Plano) or CLEAR Title and Appraisal Co. (Allen) on assignment deals specifically?
Would love to hear any experiences, good or bad. Also open to other local options. Thanks!

Also since you are knew please understand only about 20% of your wholesale deals will close if you are good. 80% will fail. So keep that in mind.
Ome suggestion I have is go out and find your deals first and then find all your vendors. No need to have all your resources lined up before you have deals. Get that deal and then start looking for your resources to close it- Investor · Dallas-Fort Worth, TX · Member since 2026 · 14 posts · 6 votes6mo
Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to share all of that!
I’ll definitely look into Scott Horn, that’s really helpful. And I appreciate the honesty too I’m all about realistic expectations.
That’s actually really reassuring about focusing on finding deals first. I’ve been trying to figure out how much I need lined up ahead of time, so that perspective helps a lot.
Thanks again, I really appreciate the guidance!
