Washington Title, established in 1996, underwrites title insurance for residential and commercial real estate transactions.  We serve independent title agents and abstract companies throughout New York State.  From start to finish, our support staff and underwriting team help our agents clear and close transactions.  We are committed to excellence and superior personal service.

Our strongest assets - our superb legal staff and streamlined organization - enable us to support our agents in providing for their clients' title insurance needs.  We value our agents - they are an integral extension of our team.  Our hands-on approach gives us a deep understanding of their needs and objectives in this rapidly changing market.

We take pride in our ever expanding agency network.

A well trained and highly communicative administrative staff is an essential ingredient of our success.  We have underwritten thousands of title policies and have successfully expedited the closing of complex transactions.  From the opening of the file to the closing of title, our administrative staff stands ready to assist our agents.

The legal staff, the backbone of Washington Title, cumulatively boasts more than 80 years of real estate title law experience.  They can be counted on for immediate responses to underwriting questions.  Our law department stays in close contact with our agents to ensure they are kept abreast of statutory  or case law changes affecting our industry.

The ability to pay claims is the ultimate measure of any title insurer's responsibility to its policyholders.  Our claim loss ratio is significantly lower than the industry average and this underscores our professional competence.  When claims do arise we defend, settle, or dispose of the claim as expeditiously as possible to minimize any distress or disturbance to our insured.
