How to Choose a Title Insurance Company

When it comes to buying or refinancing a home, your title insurance company is a behind-the-scenes partner who plays a pivotal role in protecting your investment. Whether you’re a real estate agent seeking reliable closings, a lender prioritizing compliance, or a buyer navigating the purchase of your home, choosing the right title insurance partner matters. 

But how do you know you’re choosing the right one? 

Here are the key things to look for in your title company and why BesTitle stands out for professionals and homeowners throughout West Virginia, Kentucky, and Southern Ohio. 

1. Local Expertise Matters 

Real estate laws and processes vary from state to state, and sometimes even from county to county. That’s why local experience isn’t just helpful; it’s essential. 

BesTitle has deep roots in the communities we serve, with offices across key regions like Huntington, Charleston, Lexington, Morgantown, Ironton, and Beckley. Each location is staffed by professionals who understand the unique requirements of their counties and maintain long-standing relationships with local agents, lenders, and municipalities. 

2. Attorney-Managed Closings 

BesTitle is attorney-managed. This means your closing isn’t just smooth, it’s legally sound. From clearing title issues to navigating complex transactions, having legal oversight ensures your deal is protected from start to finish. 

3. Personalized, Client-First Service 

Real estate professionals and homeowners alike often tell us the same thing: they want responsive, clear communication. BesTitle delivers. We pride ourselves on staying accessible, explaining the process in plain language, and anticipating your needs before they become problems. 

As one Ashland client put it, “The smoothest closing I have ever had”. 

4. Tech-Forward Security 

With wire fraud on the rise, choosing a title company that takes cybersecurity seriously isn’t optional, it’s necessary. BesTitle partners with Qualia Shield to offer a secure, modern closing experience. From encrypted document sharing to secure wire instructions and identity verification, we help protect you from fraud throughout the entire transaction. 

5. Full-Service Offerings for All Transaction Types 

Whether you’re working on a residential purchase, a commercial deal, or a refinance, BesTitle is built to handle it. Our services include

  • Title insurance for lenders and owners 
  • 1031 exchanges and commercial closings 
  • Refinance and HELOC closings 
  • UCC, lien, easement, and tax searches 

6. Reputation You Can Count On 

Across our offices, clients often highlight how seamless, fast, and friendly their experience was. A few examples: 

  • Charleston: “Very friendly, helpful and courteous.” 
  • Lexington: “10 out of 10… knowledgeable, skilled and stress-free.” 
  • Morgantown: “Lovely office, friendly staff, quick process.” 

Don’t Leave It to Chance 

Choosing a title insurance company isn’t just about finding someone to process paperwork. It’s about finding a partner you can trust to protect your transaction, communicate clearly, and get everyone to the closing table smoothly. 

If you’re a buyer, seller, agent, or lender in West Virginia, Kentucky, or Southern Ohio, we’d love to show you what sets BesTitle apart.
