What we do
Homes, businesses, and farm ground. Every step from contract to recorded deed.
We close residential purchases and refinances for families and their lenders, and commercial transactions for business owners, investors, and developers. Every file starts with a careful search of the county records. From there we resolve what turns up, issue the policy, handle the money, and see the documents recorded. Our home is Williams, Defiance, Henry, Fulton, and Paulding counties, and we regularly handle transactions elsewhere in Northwest Ohio.
Residential Closings
Home purchases, cash sales, and refinances, closed at our Bryan office or remotely by overnight delivery.
Escrow Services
Earnest money, closing funds, payoffs, and disbursements handled through a dedicated escrow account.
Title Searches for Attorneys
Abstracts and title searches for attorneys handling estates, foreclosures, quiet title, and other matters.
Farm & Land Transactions
Farm ground, split parcels, and rural property, with attention to surveys, easements, and tax issues.
Commercial Transactions
Business buildings, investment property, development parcels, and entity-to-entity transfers, backed by attorneys who handle business law.
Lender Services
Title commitments, loan policies, and closings for banks, credit unions, and farm lenders.
1031 Exchange Closings
We close the sale and purchase legs and coordinate with your qualified intermediary. We are not an exchange company.
For real estate agents & lenders
Your clients' closing reflects on you. We treat it that way.
Agents and loan officers send us files because they don't have to chase them. We keep you informed from commitment to closing, raise title issues early while there is still time to fix them, and work closing schedules around your clients.
Real estate agents
Order online or by phone, get status updates without asking, and know that a curative problem goes to an attorney the same day it surfaces. Closings are held at our office in downtown Bryan, or remotely for clients who can't be here.
Lenders
Commitments, loan policies, and closings for banks, credit unions, and farm lenders, with closing figures coordinated ahead of the signing so there are no surprises at the table.
Farm & Land
Farm ground is not a subdivision lot. We close it like we know the difference.
Agricultural transfers in Northwest Ohio come with their own paperwork: parcels split off a home tract, drainage and pipeline easements going back decades, oil and gas leases, and tax treatment that follows the land. Our team grew up around these farms and works with farm families, ag lenders, and the attorneys who represent them.
Whether ground is changing hands within a family, being sold at auction, or going to a neighboring operation, we coordinate the survey, the title work, and the closing so the transfer records cleanly.
- Split parcels and new surveysCoordination with surveyors and county map rooms for new legal descriptions.
- Easements, rights-of-way, and leasesDrainage, pipeline, wind, and utility easements, along with oil and gas leases, identified from the record.
- CAUV and tax prorationsCurrent agricultural use value status flagged early so buyer and seller know where they stand.
- Auction and family transfersClosings for auction sales, estate transfers, and sales between family members.
- Ag lender closingsLoan policies and closings for farm credit and community bank lenders.
