This was one of the worst real estate transaction experiences I have had, and I've bought and sold property across two states and DC in the past decade. While everyone at Stewart Title was kind, I would not describe any of them as competent. I had to pull my own loan documents for payoff (after multiple phone calls giving them instructions for how to do their job). The software they use for information intake and document upload has the worst user interface I've seen in years, but they also required me to send multiple sensitive documents (bank and loan statements) via email; I just assume that my identity will be hacked, so I've taken appropriate precautions. I don't know if it's directly related, but the email address I used with them for closing was hacked the month after closing although I've used it securely for over a decade. Additionally, I didn't know when or where my closing was until the morning of, and when I attended closing there were mistakes in the paperwork that neither the title company nor notary (who worked frequently in real estate) found. I gave the notary my bank account information for fund disbursement (as instructed), but then the title company called me the next day to ask for a bank statement (via email) to get the same information again. I cannot state this emphatically enough: do NOT use Stewart Title for buying or selling real estate. In my opinion, it is likely to be one of the most frustrating and error-prone experiences you will have.

My experience with Stuart title company was terrible they were the one handling my estate and they made us go through probate even when everything had already been decided I ended up having to give away more money because of them for no reason if they had just done their homework they would have seen it all our papers were already legitimate and sign they suck

The worst company. Avoid at all costs. Customer service lead Karen Kelly is beyond nasty, unprofessional and the entire company just sucks. Save yourself the hassle and find a company that does better. This company won’t even respond to a simple request of a title abstract that was paid for 6 months ago.

I closed with Stewart Title company on September 30, 2025. I advice others that if you go with Stewart title company, make sure you read all the documents before signing. They added in a bundle of different fees even for things that they did not perform. Apparently, I was credited $780 for calendar year 2025 taxes that was prorated. Annual taxes is not prorated so now I am stuck with the taxes for the entire year of 2025 that is almost $ 1700. I have possession of the property from October to December which is 1/4 of this year. This was never disclosed to me during closing that I would received a tax bill for the entire year. The builder credit was 4% of the home cost, and 2% to buy down the interest rate, at closing, the document showed the 4% was $2000 short which would have cover the taxes for the entire you. In addition, I had to bring over $6000. Sometimes, small companies are better to get financed throught but I would definitely nor recommend Stewart title company. Do your research and asked more questions so you don't get screwed like I did

We had the pleasure of dealing with Malcolm during our year long process, very complicated and numerous issues, of having this resolved with the Council and whilst having this happen did diminish the joy on the purchase of our new property, without Malcolm’s assistance and having Stewart Title Insurance in place this would have been so much more stressful. I now recommend getting Title Insurance to everyone I know, it has been an absolute lifesaver for our family.

Best decision. We were totally oblivious about this. Thanks to Linda, who explained everything so clearly and honestly, we added this. Linda was extremely knowledgeable, patient and transparent with the policy and it's restrictions. Very grateful for this amazing service.

Horrible! We bought Title Insurance when we bought our house. Came to find out there was an issue with the floor in our family room & the exterior walls. Had a structial engineer come in to inspect the issue. He asked if we purchased Title Insurance, our response was YES WE DID! We also had other contracts in for estimate & they also said it should be covered by Title Insurance. We submitted all the information to Stewart Title Insurance, come to find out as usual they like to take & pocket your money, but refuse your claim so they don't have to help! This company is a scam & will never waist money on this next time we buy a house again. We Google the company & for other reviews just like ours! Title insurance is a waste of money.

I assumed my mortgage when I divorced and paid half of the value of my property to my ex husband, a few years later I pay off the mortgage and realized my ex husband was in the title, I called Wells Fargo and they told me that because I pay off the mortgage they couldn't help me. I called Stewart company and they told me they were going to call me back and instead they block me. Luckily my ex husband helped me to transfer the property on my name. This company caused me so much destress and problems and they were never willing to fix the mistakes they did. I do not recommend this company.
