[WSBARP] General title insurance question

[Britt, Christopher]

I generally would recommend a policy from a large company (e.g. fidelity
national title insurance, stewart title, etc.).  In my experience, it makes
selling the property much easier than having to stop and correct some minor
issue with title.  The reason for the large company is that some of the
larger guys won't back up to a policy if it is underwritten by a
smaller/regional company.  And this is less legal than it is practical.
