title companies

[centexn]

I have noticed when researching a local title company they are requiring a real estate license number in order to register on their site.  Do title companies typically avoid investors preferring to deal only with registered real estates people? 

Thanks for your help.

never heard of this.  any title company that we have worked with allows investors.  call them

I have never seen that either, but not all title companies are the same.  Some title companies are investor friendly and some aren't.  They all have their own way of doing business.

Find an investor friendly title company.

There are a lot of good local title companies out there that are investor friendly. I'm not sure what area your looking for title but there is also a couple nationwide title companies to use as well. I really only recommend one of the nationwide title companies. Some of the other ones have horrible customer service and never close on time.

why are you using a title company? a good closing attorney will give better service

Thanks for the responses.

Re: closing attorney..

Good suggestion, I guess I had been locked into the title company as having the closing duties.  Also, I dont want to have to pay an arm an a leg for the service.  Does that make sense?

You don't say what state you in but in California for example anything a title company offers to a licensed agent they are also required to offer to the average consumer.

And I'm sure most states would be offended by this type of discrimination as well as the possible RESPA considerations . Check with the insurance commissioners office for your state.
