I used to think it didnt really matter what Title company was used in a real estate transaction, until I worked with Midtown.First of all - it turned out, my transaction was a little more complicated than most (involving attorneys), and not only were they able to handle EVERYTHING, but they did it with very minimal stress to me. I knew, 100%, they were doing everything necessary to properly handle the situation, which got resolved, thanks to them!Secondly - there were little things they did. For instance, when I arrived at the singing, they had already dated all the paperwork, saving time and confusion.When given the option, I wouldnt pick anyone other than Midtown.

My husband and I worked with Terri and her team during the purchase of our first home. Everyone in the office was kind, responsive, and professional as we navigated this process. I am not sure buying a house could have gone any more smoothly. Meeting Terri at our closing was the icing on the cake! She was so sweet!

Teamterri handled the sale of the property owned by my brother-in-law, who is deceased. I was the Executor of his estate, making the transaction somewhat more complicated. It went very smoothly and our closing date was not long after the offer to purchase was accepted. Other title companies were backed up due to the large number of sales in the area. Everyone on the team was responsive and highly professional. I would recommend Midtown and teamterri to others.

My partner and I recently closed on our refinance at Midtown Title and had the best experience. Communication up to closing was prompt and professional. On our closing date we met with Leslie who took stellar care of us and followed all of the proper COVID-19 procedures. I had a lot of questions during the process and Leslie was happy to politely answer them all without hesitation. We were extremely satisfied with our experience with Midtown Title & would recommend them to anyone needing their services.

Leslie was the best escrow officer I’ve ever worked with! No matter how many obstacles were thrown in our path by our lender, Leslie was always there to save the day. She was incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive throughout the process and went above and beyond to ensure our closing was a success. Overall, a top notch title company with stellar customer service! Would absolutely recommend their services to my friends and family.

Midtown Title is our go-to title company in Austin because it has earned our trust in multiple transactions as both buyer and seller. The staff and manager have been consistently helpful. Leslie was our Escrow Officer during our most recent transaction during the COVID-19 lockdown, and took greatcare of us from beginning to closing and beyond. Even during this stressful period with new procedures and our need for remote closing, Leslie was fantastic and a pleasure to work with. She was totally competent and reliable, very friendly yet consistently professional, and always reachable and promptly responsive, answering every question and resolving every potential issue.

Leslie nailed it after hours to pull together a postponed funding eliminating any snags from occurring over a holiday weekend. Follow up with docs and explanations when re-requested on my error was almost immediate. Great group to work with!

Terri Saraceno and Team Terri are effective, knowledgeable, courteous, caring, and accommodating professionals. Every closing has been excellent. Among my purchase and sale closings were a 1031 Exchange and Reverse 1031 Exchange - well done. Terri and Team are responsive communicators and excellent at managing the people and myriad of details involved in a closing.Update Aug 20, 2021 - Another successful closing with Terri Saraceno and Team Terri replete with extra work involving an LLC and Power of Attorney. Terri and her team are always accessible, knowledgeable, accommodating, and professional. I plan my closings at Midtown Independence Title because I know Terri and her team will take excellent care of the people and details involved.

As an experienced real estate investor and Realtor, I feel as though I have used almost every title company in Austin. Team Michelle Black is my go to title company! Take my advice and use Midtown if you want a smooth closing.

I love Midtown Title! I switched title companies because Terri was very professional and always available. She has been so helpful! Anytime I need assistance Terri and her team are just a phone call or email away and they are quick to respond! Plus, I love the closing envelopes they give me with a hard copy and digital copy of my closing docs. I am a local real estate investor and Midtown Title makes the buying and selling process so much easier! Everyone at Midtown is very friendly and helpful! Thank you Midtown!

My husband and I recently closed our house at Midtown Independence title. Our escrow officer is Michelle Black. She is very helpful and informative. She was able to answer all my questions before and during closing. She went through every detail in the closing documents with us and we feel confident on the entire closing process. Her team member, Jennifer and Michael, are also very easy to work with. I had a lot questions to Jennifer and she was able to get back to me in a timely manner. Jennifer is very detail orientated. Overall, I am very pleased with my experience with Team Michelle :) I have closed at another tile company before and I would say Midtown is much more professional and really easy to work with. Thanks yall!

Best title & escrow company that Ive ever used (and Ive used a lot)! Michelle, Jennifer & Michael are on top of their game and got everything done on extremely short notice. In one transaction I was selling an investment property, doing a 1031 exchange (buying replacement property), and executing a warranty deed. I was completely overwhelmed with all the moving parts but they handled it professionally and accurately. Using them again in a few weeks.

Ive been buying homes full time since 2004 and using Midtown Title for several of those years. Midtown is absolutely the most knowledgeable and best service experience I have found across the industry. Highly recommend their team for all your closing needs, especially the top escrow officer, Michelle Black who exceeds service time and time again.

Terri and Beth came through huge for us late on a Friday at the end of yet another crazy week here in June.A lot of moving parts at the last minute combined with some technology setbacks posed some difficult challenges that Terri and her team didn’t blink at.

We closed on a home a few months ago, and Midtown Independence was wonderful. Centrally located, it is a warm and friendly office that made us feel very comfortable and got us in and out quickly. They were also wonderful with our toddler!We are about to close on a second property, and when I was ready to drop off a check for our earnest money, I was so delighted to see that we would be working with Midtown Independence again. I highly recommend them!

My wife and I just closed on our first home last week. Our experience with everyone at Midtown was better than I could ever have imagined going in to the home buying process.

It has been a pleasure to work with Michelle and Michael. The closing date on my house had to be moved several times due to issues with other parties, and Michelle and Michael were always willing to reschedule. I ended up asking for the latest appointment available on the day we actually closed. When I arrived to my appointment, Michelle told me that she caught an error that my lender had made in the calculation of my closing costs. Michelle problem-solved and helped me figure out how to get the remainder of funds that I owed. She waited for me to go to a bank to get a cashiers check and never seemed concerned that I was causing her to work late. To the contrary, she thoroughly explained all the paperwork and make sure I had a good understanding of the process. Unfortunately, the lender continued to cause problems and the funds were not actually released that day. Michelle and Michael kept me updated on the reason for the delay in the funding on my loan and contacted my lender to push the process along. My lender finally got the funds released at 5:30 on a Friday night. Michelle and Michael both worked late (again) to make sure the money was sent to the seller that day. Thank you both for your hard work and willingness to go the extra mile!

My experience with Midtown has been nothing but excellent. I previously purchased my home using Midtown Title as my title company, and just sold that home using Douglas Plummers team at Midtown Title. The team there is nothing but professional, courteous, diligent, and extremely proficient in ensuring a smooth closing for both the buyer and seller.They are by far the best title company ever and highly recommend them for your title needs.Big thanks to Doug & Terry, you guys are great!

Best Customer Service EVER. Last Fri. I went to the Midtown Title office ,on North Lamar, to pickup my earnest money check since the house I was trying to buy ended up not working out for me. Long story short , I had already put an offer on a 2nd house and the contract had another Title company office that would handle the earnest money for this new house. So when i walked in to pick the check I asked if they would hold the money and if deal goes through on the new house they can move it to the other office. Now I know they dont have to do that. So the lady at the front office called Mr. Charles to speak to me about this issue (whom Ive communicated with over email only).Mr. Charles was very helpful, listened to the whole story and told me that yes he can help me and hold on to the money and help in any way he can. It was really great that he was able to help me that way. Wait, it gets even better. Two hours later I get news from my Realtor that the my offer on the 2nd house got accepted, so I reach out to Mr. Charles and he truly went beyond the call of duty. He was able to contact the other Escrow agent and wire her the funds and then he wired me the remaining funds from the earnest that was leftover . See, the amazing part is that Mr. Charles did not have to do any of this and could have just given me back the check when i walked in the first time. But instead he helped me with solutions right away. He was so knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with and truly made me feel like his number one client even though he was already done with my business the moment the first deal ended.Truly Best Customer Experience Ever. By email, on phone and in Person this office is the best in what they do.This experience is definitely one for the books and Ill continue to share it with friends and colleagues.

10/10! Michael, Jennifer, and Michelle Black are amazing. Midtown has been my preferred title company for a few years now and as my business grows I have found that my entire team prefers to work with them as well! They have helped me in many situations including one instance in which a different title company made a mistake, I called Michelle and she gave me and the escrow officer at that title company advice on how to fix it.

Midtown Independence Title provides impeccable service. Being associated with a design/build firm I have been a part of many transactions and I have always found everyone to be completely conscientious and thorough. Every step in the closing process gets a full explanation with great attention to detail. Midtown has an excellent team of hard working individuals led by Douglas Plummer and I will continue recommend them very highly.

Midtown Title is my go to tile company from now on! Closed a difficult deal that could have could have cost us a lot more money if it werent for Team Debbie! They caught some liens that the other title company did not catch and although it delayed the closing for a week, money was saved because of the dynamic duo that is Debbie and Katie.

Midtown Independence Title, is one of the greatest Title Companys, Ive had the pleasure of working with as an Independent Loan Signing Agent, using their signing rooms, for courtesy closings. Once you make contact with the fine folks that make this business so successful they become an asset as friends. I dont believe this group has ever met a stranger that stayed a stranger for very long. Their sincerity is very evident with the first step in to their offices.Fred G. Herrera, CSA / CNA

They drafted poor documents with wrong amounts, dates, and typos that did not reflect the contract. The attorney would not return my calls.
