More Title Insurance (Bad) Publicity

A recent article in the Boston Globe discusses more criticism being levied at the title insurance industry. It is a similar refrain. The main premise of the article is that title insurance in Mass is overpriced and that title companies are more concerned with lenders and brokers than the consumer. While this is generally true I do have one point of contention.

Towards the end of the article it states that there are no title companies who are marketing to consumers. There are plenty of title companies who do just that and I wish that writers would do some research online where they could easily find this information. If a little extra research was conducted they could highlight the problems in the industry as well as talk about the companies who are providing consumer focused service. This type of exposure could go a long way in helping to change the industry and letting consumers know they do have a choice when it comes to title insurance.
