Our experience with Old Republic Title was average. It was clear that they absolutely did not want to change their process for anyone or take any initiative or do anything other than the exact step-by-step process they've worked out with the local lenders they use 90% of the time. They failed to communicate on all accounts, even when they took the time to explicitly say they would communicate. For example, the receptionist that accepted our downpayment and said she'd email when she deposited it, and she never did. Alex (the title agent) assumed the lender would handle all communication and did not bother to inquire further until the business day before closing, when our realtor prodded him to do so. I didn't appreciate being made to feel like I was being done a favor, and I was making the company move quicker than usual to accommodate me. I didn't care for the passive aggressive attitude in general. We didn't have a choice in working with Old Republic Title, but int he future if I did have a choice, they would not be on my list.
