Real Estate closings involve a dozen or more people and hundreds of ever changing details. John Bethell Title Company, Inc.'s entire process is centered around anticipating situations outside of our control and then managing them so that our clients can close their transactions on time and hassle free. Circumstances that require attention are identified well prior to the closing whenever possible so that they can be resolved before things get contentious. Its what we call being Ahead of the Curve. We developed Ahead of the Curve service as a response to the ever compressing time-frames, last minute changes and delays so often encountered in today's home financing environment. We strive to provide a more professional and satisfying experience for our clients. And we know that when our clients look professional, their clients are much more likely to recommend them to friends and associates.

Since 1973, I've been a part of the title business. Prior to purchasing my company 2002, I worked for 22 years with First American Title Insurance Company and for 7 years prior to that with Ticor Title Insurance Company. I've either had or supervised just about every job one could have in the title business. My first promotion in 1973 was to messenger. My last position before buying my company was Regional Vice President in charge of several states and over 1000 employees. I've had a wealth of experience in technical, sales and managerial positions that I can put to use for you.  

Every one of the Closers and Pre-closing Processors at John Bethell Title Company, Inc. have significant experience with real estate brokerage firms, mortgage lenders, or mortgage brokers. They not only know the closing and title business, they know our client's business as well! This breadth of knowledge and experience is critical to identifying and resolving potential conflicts in the instructions of the various participants in your transaction.

Professionals employed by John Bethell Title Company, Inc. will perform all of the work on your transaction. The people involved with and responsible for your transaction are a part of our company. They are not disinterested subcontractors that have been selected, sight unseen, from an online directory. Our employees are ready to deal with unexpected and unforeseen circumstances and able to immediately take action without waiting for direction from someone who may be located hundreds or thousands of miles away and are unfamiliar with you or your circumstances, or maybe just gone home for the day.

The experience of our employees and their dedication to our process is leveraged by the largest and most comprehensive privately owned database of property records in Monroe County. Our indexes start in 1978. We've done title work on an estimated 12000 different properties. Having access to all these records in house allow us to meet even the most narrow of time-frames and complicated logistics of getting your transaction closed.
