Products & services

Every kind
of file.

Residential closings, ALTA title insurance, reports, REO, commercial, new construction, and the document work in between — handled in one St. Louis Park office by an assigned closer.

Closings

Residential closings

Purchase, refinance, and second-mortgage closings for lenders, brokers, agents, and the people signing.

  • Purchase transactions

    New financing, cash sales, assumptions, contracts for deed, and seller-side-only closings. Your buyer is assigned a closer who communicates with them directly and walks them through every document.

  • Refinance transactions

    Title research and closing support for your refinance. Request an itemized quote based on your transaction.

  • Second mortgage transactions

    Home equity and second-lien closings, with junior lien title insurance available when the lender requires it.

Insurance

Title insurance

ALTA policies issued at closing, with gap coverage provided automatically on every transaction we close.

  • Full ALTA title insurance

    Loan policies, owner's policies, and combination policies. Buying both at the same time from the same insurer is usually the least expensive way to protect the lender's interest and your own.

    Loan · Owner's · Combination
  • Junior lien title insurance

    Coverage sized for second mortgages and home equity lines, without the cost of a full policy.

  • Gap coverage

    Protects against liens or encumbrances that attach between the commitment date and the recording of your deed or mortgage.

    Included on every closing

    Full O&E reports on any Minnesota property, including our Fastract reports for a faster read on ownership and liens.

  • REO services

    More than a decade of REO closings: limited warranty deeds, servicer requirements, and title cleared so the buyer's owner's policy issues free of prior defects.

  • Short sales

    Lender-approved short sale closings coordinated with the servicer's approval terms and deadlines.

  • Commercial & new construction

    Commercial developments and new-construction closings, handled with the same assigned-closer model as every residential file.

Documents

Prep, recording & filing

The paperwork after the signatures — handled in-house so nothing sits in a queue.

  • Recording & filing

    Deeds and mortgages recorded with the county, and documents filed where they need to be.

  • Faxed & emailed closing documents

    We accept closing documents by fax and email, so a lender's package never waits on a courier.
