I prefer to always have the broker turn funds over to the lawyer as soon as the lawyer gets involved, for many reasons, one being that lawyers are held to a higher standard as escrow agents and there is a lawyers fund for any issues, plus E&O insurance, but if the title company is a national underwriter (like Chicago Title, Fidelity National, Old Republic, First American) or an agent that you have heard of and is reputable, then I wouldn't object to that either.Again, as to whether a wholesaler needs to hire a title company, completely depends whether you assign immediately after the contract is signed with seller, in which case the liens are not your problem and you can't be in legal trouble, you make no reps or warranties and inspections are the responsibility of the end buyer, or if you assign at closing, and then you would be responsible for clearing title in advance of closing and should order a title report right away.
