In Gail's words

Situations Gail handles every week

A contract is signed and nobody is sure what happens next

Title work is the part of a sale most people never see until something goes wrong. Gail's office examines the title, clears liens and defects, holds earnest money in escrow, prepares the closing documents and funds the deal, so the buyer, seller, agent and lender all know where the file stands.

An agent needs a closer who picks up the phone

Capital Title's Park Cities office is built around agent-generated business. Agents and lenders get one dependable contact for the life of the file rather than a call center, and the company's Google reviews from agents describe the branch as a trusted partner for buyers, sellers and lenders.

A commercial purchase that is too large for a neighborhood title office

Capital Title has a National Commercial Operations group in Dallas for larger and multi-site deals. Gail can bring that group in while the client keeps a single point of contact at the Park Cities office.

A refinance, reverse mortgage or REO sale with its own paperwork

Capital Title closes lender refinances, reverse mortgages and REO or foreclosure sales alongside ordinary purchases, with resources on closing costs, the three-day Closing Disclosure rule and earnest money deadlines for anyone who wants to understand the timeline.

Protecting ownership after the deal is done

A title insurance policy protects the buyer and lender against defects that surface later. Capital Title's affiliated underwriter, First National Title Insurance Company, is described by the company as the ninth-largest title underwriter in the United States.
