Universal Title - Ellicott City

Great experience and very flexible. 100 percent recommended.

Erica at Universal Title was amazing! Very thorough and kind. She was patient and answered any questions I had.

Smooth transaction & excellent communications.

Made the process of selling real simple. Signing was easy

Universal Title had a very clean and organized office. They were great to work with and made the process of signing papers to sell our house very simple!

They provided excellent service making a very easy house closing process. Would recommend them to other home buyers.

Title company was dishonest when preparing closing paperwork. They swapped my signature with a a new settlement sheet that has errors after it was already viewed and reviewed by the seller. Still waiting to resolve fees that were not correctly calculated on my deal. Do not trust them to prepare the closing paperwork correctly and check everything they send very closely.

My experience with Universal Title was so nice. They were very accommodating and everything went smoothly. I would recommend them to everyone.

I had a very good experience with Universal Title, I like that each of the documents we had to sign at the closing were explained in detail.

They were professional and worked very quickly to get our closing done fast.

Very efficient and has everything prepared for us

I was on the selling side of this transaction. Universal worked with me to insure all the necessary paperwork was complete in a timely manner and closing went smoothly. They answered all my questions during the closing process and were easy to work with.

Wonderful process from beginning to end.

If I could give them a negative score, I would! They gave the keys to our house to the prospective buyer before the lender authorized payment disbursement to us. The "buyer" then moved in, stopped cooperating with the lender, refused to sign a pre-settlement agreement, and was basically living in our house for free! The title was still in our name, someone else was living there without payment or permission, and we still had responsibility to insure it, keep up payments, etc. We were faced with the possibility of having to evict the "buyer" to force cooperation or to reclaim the house to put it back on the market. All in all, it was a nightmare scenario (over the holidays, no less), which could all have been avoided had Universal Title waited to give the "buyer" the keys until after the funds for the house were disbursed to us.

Worst settlement company I have worked with. They "closed" on the our home even though they had not received any paperwork or funds from the lender. The closing process was absolutely horrendous. They are responsible for making sure that the sellers taxes and water bill were paid but they did not. The sellers did not pay their portion of the water bill nor did they retain funds from them to cover such expenses. I will take them to court if I have to until the bill is paid. It was their responsibility to ensure that each side paid what they were supposed to.

The entire team that we worked with at Universal Title were courteous and prompt with all requests. They made the whole process seem easy, and always let us know about what was due (and when), and immediately acknowledged having received all wire transactions, etc. Settlement itself was a breeze, and was made extremely straight-forward and enjoyable for my family.

Very pleased. Very professional, helpful and accommodating.

Universal title was great. Any instructions we received were very clear and they were always available for questions or check-ins.

I signed closing documents a day prior (preclosing) and sale proceeds were not released until two days after the actual closing date.. I was very disappointed

Universal Title was professional and knowledgeable. They were very helpful and made it a seamless process.

Everything went smoothly and they were very professional.

We're very happy with the work they did when we purchased our home. They're prompt, communicative, and their online system called Qualia makes the entire process even easier.
