What's important in a Title Company and/or Title Sales Professional to YOU?

As I travel and visit with Real Estate professionals I often ask them what they feel is important for them in specific industries.

In the Title business, for example, there seem to be far too many companies in existence that focus on their own beliefs about what the industry and the customer wants and needs regarding transaction and settlement services.

With that in mind, I'd like to pose the question here, to all of you - both RE Professional and Consumer alike:

What's important in a Title Company and/or Title Sales Professional to YOU?

Here are a few key features and benefits others have shared with me - please add your own as well.

* Financial Stability and long-term industry presence
* A history of success in the Title Business
* Professionalism in appearance and behavior
* Expertise and Industry Knowledge
* Guaranteed Service Levels
* Taking the time to understand and learn about my specific needs
* Tools and Services that can enhance my business
* Patience
* Mobile Closings (close-anywhere)
* Independent Sales Reps that are empowered to make decisions for their customers
* Cookies at the closing table, and not just chocolate chip (seriously - this is one I've heard a lot!)
* Great rates / pricing
* A deal with my broker/brand

Thank you all for helping to build this list - your feedback is important!

It's also noteworthy to point out here that in many emerging markets globally, there is an honest 'thirst' for Title Insurance. The security we have in the US with our mature Title Insurance markets does not exist in many overseas markets.
