Questions about placing an order

What do I need to place a title order?

Tell us who you are in the transaction, the property address and how to reach you. Agents also attach the contract and tell us which side they represent. The price, settlement date, the names of the people involved and any papers are optional, but they help us get started. If you are not sure what to send, call us at (410) 768-2300.

Do I have to upload the sale contract?

Only if you are an agent sending us a new contract. Everyone else can place an order without it and send it later. You can attach PDFs, Word documents or photos of the pages: up to 20 files, 10 MB each and 25 MB in all.

Can I use this form to request a deed transfer?

Yes. Choose “Deed or estate”, then the change you need, such as adding or removing a name. Our office will call you about the deed and the fee. You can also call us at (410) 768-2300. How our deed transfers work.

Who chooses the title company in Maryland?

In a Maryland home purchase, the buyer usually chooses the title and settlement company. Under the federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), a seller cannot require the buyer to buy title insurance from a particular title company as a condition of the sale.

Do I need an owner’s title insurance policy?

An owner’s policy is optional in Maryland. If you take out a mortgage, your lender will usually require a lender’s policy, but that protects only the lender. An owner’s policy protects you. Its premium is paid once, at settlement, with no monthly or yearly payments. Why title insurance matters.

Where does settlement take place?

Settle at our Glen Burnie office, or we come to you anywhere in Maryland at no extra cost. We travel to your home, your workplace or your agent’s office. Buying or selling from outside Maryland? We arrange a remote settlement.

Can I see my closing costs before I place an order?

Yes. Our Instant Quote gives you an estimate of the settlement costs for your property, prepared through our settlement software partner, Qualia. Estimates are preliminary, and your final figures may differ. Get an instant quote.

How do I protect my closing funds from wire fraud?

We send wiring instructions by email, and criminals sometimes send fake ones that look like ours. Before you wire any money, call us at (410) 768-2300, the number on this website, to confirm the instructions. Never use a phone number from an email, and treat any message saying our instructions have changed as a warning sign. Read our wire fraud warning.
