Hello,

Looking for referrals on Title Company and Escrow in King County (WA).

Also does it make sense to use the in house escrow of a title company or not? Your thoughts? Any experiences (good or bad on the ones below?)

Thank you.

    Rainier Title in Bellevue is great.  There is also one not on your list that has worked well for me, WFG National title in South Lake Union.  I would steer very clear of First American, my experience was hell, to the point that they told me they wouldn't close because I was getting too good of a deal.  They have no experience dealing with investors.  Good luck

    @Sonia T. My first am experience was with their Seattle office.  They actually canceled the closing so that was as far as I got.  I was going to use their in house escrow, ended up going with Rainier based on a mortgage broker friend referral, Rainier got it closed very quickly.

    Columbia Escrow near Seward Park is one of the best I've ever worked with. Patty over there can be a miracle worker when she needs to be!
