Commercial Highlight

At Crown Title, our work ethic and commitment to our customers speaks for itself. Here’s an example from a recent commercial real estate transaction we were entrusted with leading on a tight deadline and where our integrity made all the difference:

Our team received a call at 4:40 p.m. on a Thursday from a commercial lender asking if we could conduct a purchase closing for 16 commercial properties, in four different states, by Monday. Another national title company had refused the deal, citing the inability to make the deadline. But a lot was on the line – the borrower was at risk of losing the $650,000 deposit he had posted for the sale of a large commercial property.

We immediately went into action and accepted the challenge. Our search team started its work that night and we collaborated on formatting the file and assisting with legal descriptions and tax clauses. This teamwork resulted in our attorney forwarding the commitment to the lender on Friday so closing documents could be prepared.

We worked throughout the weekend to anticipate any closing issues, and the deal was funded and closed at 4:30 p.m. that Monday.

The borrower saved the money, and we showed the strength of the Crown Title team!
