Hey there, looking for an investor friendly title company in Mississippi that has experience with double closings and assignments. Bonus points if they're local and a small business, but not required. Many thanks in advance

Hey Sydney, 

I reached out to Lori yesterday as well and she told me that due to the workload, she is unable to do any. She also informed me that Alaska is a "good funds state" so any closing funds due from the buyer are needed one business day prior to closing. 


 Wow, thank you for going above and beyond with that! If you happen to have any other contacts who are experienced in/accept assignments, I would appreciate it  :) Thanks Sepp!

I would agree with Tyler. Me and my team love Stewart title and use them for almost every transaction. Lori Guy specifically is my go to. 


 When I called, the person who I spoke with said they had no experience, nor "any interest whatsoever in those transactions." I also spoke with the Stewart Title of the Kenai Peninsula, and while they knew what it was, they made it sound like they would be difficult through the process... I'm not sure if this is just dependent on the people who I spoke with  (or maybe there's a different term for "wholesaling" ?)

Hey there, I am looking to establish a relationship with an investor friendly title company in Anchorage or the Kenai peninsula area. I've called quite a few but none of them seem to know what assignments/wholesaling is. Does anyone have a title company they can connect me with? 

Quote from @Daniel Paloscio:

I have seen lots of wholesalers post about Capital Title of Washington, Julie Tangermann. I believe they are based in Seattle. I have funded several closings with Capital Title in different states and they are awesome. Capital Title is a super investor friendly company and I've noticed a lot of my borrowers use them. I'm happy to share direct contact info with you if you want to shoot me a pm. 

Unfortunately my team is looking specifically for a title company local to Washington that isn't part of a national parent company of sorts; I've found when we use those national title companies like First American, Capital Title, and Stewart Title, often they are unreliable and not personable, often being difficult and causing strain with our clients. We have found building relationships with smaller, local title companies gives us better turnaround times, quicker title searches, better attention to our files, as well as more creative problem-solving. Additionally, we prefer giving the smaller companies the business (this has often given us direct relationships with the owners which can be incredibly useful). I'll definitely add Capital Title to my list in case we cannot locate a small local title company. Additionally, we have many title companies in nearly every state (with the exception of a couple), if you're ever looking to establish a relationship with one, please let me know! I would love to send them the business.

I have a couple of properties I need to open a title with. I'm looking for one that has done double closings, wholesales, novations. Anywhere in Washington state works, but bonus points for a Spokane one. Many thanks in advance!!!

Steve, let me get this right, so I am sure I understand your point of view completely. You think that by saying CT was happy to speak with me yesterday and they gave me the nod to work with them, that I've somehow ..... slurred CT in some way? 

What I am reading in your reply may simply be a lack of understanding, which is totally cool. Let me see if I can clear it up for you.  I don't think anyone above mentioned anything about "dual escrow BS" that I can see.  I also don't see anyone suggesting that hiding information from principles is a goal anywhere in the discussion above. I certainly don't hide anything from anyone in a wholesale deal. Everyone knows the whole deal. That business model works for me. 

I'm not sure where your acerbic reply came from as you didn't elaborate on any of the points you made. From your tone, it's abundantly apparent that you dislike wholesalers. That's ok too. I'm not sure your comments helped anyone, but were, unfortunately, a brief glimpse into some personal biases you that have. 

I wish you the best of all things Steve. May your road ahead be less angsty for you. 


 Reading this a year later.... Yas. Pop off queen!!!!!!
