Realtors that talk of a family of products are usually referring to something incestuous.

Most title companies are owned by, or are partners with, real estate professionals such as Realtors, lenders and homebuilders. Oftentimes, real estate professionals talk about the benefits you get with their “family of products”. But what they don’t tell you is they get paid referral fees in exchange for sending business to their title companies – fees you end up paying for. In other words, these title companies don’t work for you. They work for the real estate professionals they are “in bed with”. This not only increases your costs, it also creates a conflict of interest. In order to keep the referrals coming, the title company puts the real estate professionals’ needs before yours.

Title One doesn’t pay referral fees… to anyone, for any reason. Because we work for you. That’s to say, we work on your behalf and put your needs first while we work hard to uncover title defects and make sure you will have clear ownership of the property without any competing claims over it. Refusing to pay referral fees not only lowers your cost up to $500, it ensures our relationship is impartial and based on our expertise and ability to uncover and protect you from any real or potential problems with your title… problems that could cost you your home. Leaving the burning question, why not go independent?
