Client Testimonials

As one of the Managing Brokers at Horizon Realty, I see a variety of unique and challenging title issues arise. Midtown Independence Title is always available to address our clients’ concerns and resolve their issues. I cannot say enough about the knowledgeable staff, they are as good as it gets in the title industry.

Richard Foster

Wow! What a pleasant experience we had at closing today! The office space is very cool and amazing. The ambience (artwork, conference rooms) makes for a great office/meeting space. Just a big thank you to Midtown. I would highly recommend them to my family and friends.

Tim Frantz

Best title & escrow company that I’ve ever used! Michelle, Jennifer & Michael are on top of their game and got everything done on extremely short notice. In one transaction, I was completely overwhelmed with all the moving parts but they handled it professionally and accurately.

Alex Zankich

Terri and her team at Midtown are the best in the business. As a Realtor, it makes my role so much easier, and my clients experience a smooth one to know I am working with professional people who I trust to get the job done. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Alex Tapp

As a real estate investor, they do all of my closings and I haven’t had a complaint in 9 years. They go above and beyond to help with research and make sure the closings are easy. I don’t know what I’d do without Terri, she’s the strongest part of my business.

Jantzen Matzdorff

Professional. Caring, honest and extremely competent and knowledgable. I felt in very good hands especially with Douglas Plummer. I have bought a lot of investment properties and Douglas Plummer is the only person I would recommend to you because he truly is in a client’s best interest. Terri rocks too!

Real Estate Closing FAQs

Who chooses the title company in Texas?

In Texas, the title company is negotiated in the real estate contract between the buyer and seller. In many transactions, the seller selects the title company because the seller typically pays for the owner’s title insurance policy.

How long does a real estate closing take?

Most residential transactions close within 30–45 days after the contract is executed, depending on financing, title review, and any conditions that must be resolved before closing.

What is title insurance?

Title insurance protects property owners and lenders against financial loss caused by title defects such as unknown liens, ownership disputes, or errors in public records.

What does a title company do?

A title company acts as a neutral third party that verifies ownership, manages escrow funds, coordinates closing documents, and records the transfer of property ownership.
