Southern Title Insurance Corporation is a regional underwriter doing business in 20 states and the District of Columbia. We insure the interests of lenders and homeowners involved in real estate transactions.  In protecting these interests, Southern Title, with its network of agents evaluates the title risk involved with a particular parcel of real estate.  A loan may or may not be granted depending on the results of a title search. Title may not be transferred due to a finding in the chain of title.  The risks are many, yet Southern Title is there to help with the transaction.   We distribute title insurance primarily through our agencies.  We are an agency-driven company, therefore, we spend our resources making the independent agent successful. Our motto is not to compete with our business partners. We try to use the dollars paid to us by our agencies in ways that will support our agents. Our agents agree that they would rather have an underwriter that works for them than one who competes against them.   Southern Title has the expertise to be your business partner of choice.  From 1031 Tax Deferred Exchanges to residential and commercial transactions, Southern Title will provide the personal service that you and your company deserve.
