About Us
Community
Title & Escrow Services, Inc. is a fully licensed title agency authorized
to provide title insurance policies to owners and lenders in real estate
transactions in the State of Florida. We are licensed with the Florida
Department of Financial Services (license number E166104) and are an authorized
agent of Chicago Title Insurance Company, one of the largest and most
highly respected title insurance underwriters in America. In addition
to providing title insurance to our customers, we are also authorized
to act as escrow agent and closing agent for real estate transactions.
One of the important advantages of having Community Title
handle your real estate closing is that we have an experienced attorney
who is directly or indirectly involved in virtually all of the closings
taking place at our company. Often, having an attorney available
allows for potential title underwriting or other problems to be resolved
that other title companies who do not have an attorney on staff are not
equipped to handle.
Our mission is to provide our clients with the highest
quality in real estate title closing services. We strive to meet
or exceed the highest standards in providing those services in a professional,
courteous and efficient manner. While the closing on a home or other
real estate can be a stressful experience for the parties involved, we
believe in doing our part to make your closing run smoothly and less stress-inducing.
The People Behind Community Title:
Meet
our corporate Officers and the members of our Board of Directors, and
the staff of trained professionals who will be working on your closing.
