SERVICES WE PROVIDE


 Our products and services have been developed to address four important aspects of the real estate transfer
 process: information, ownership, asset management and commitment. In each area, we have created the tools
 and resources needed to ensure the most risk-free and expedient closing possible.

 1. Information Services
 The best real estate closings begin with good information.

 We own and subscribe to leading industry information services for the most current market information,
 including property profiles, farm reports and mortgage records. We have access to secure Internet-based
 databases with millions of public real estate records and documents. We can prepare and deliver preliminary
 reports and commitments electronically to multiple locations.

 We provide real estate professionals with the most current ownership information available through a variety of
 sources to assist them in selling property and locating the next opportunity. In addition, we provide a variety of
 real estate insurance products to national lenders ranging from full ALTA policies to limited coverage policies.

 2. Title Services
 Insured ownership is at the heart of every transaction.

 We work to remove any recorded encumbrances which are inconsistent with the terms of the transaction. We
 offer traditional, fully-insured products like ALTA policies, as well as innovative products and insurance policies
 in the refinance, second mortgage and equity markets. We respond quickly to unique circumstances with
 flexible and creative approaches to title insurance.

 3. Escrow Services
