Lender servicesOne form. No login. No phone tag.
Most title companies still make you email a contract and hope someone opens it. Our order form captures everything the examiner needs on the first pass — so the file opens the same day instead of bouncing back to you with questions.
- Upload the contract directly — drag in the agreement of sale, mortgage commitment and payoff authorizations.
- Rush option — flag a file that needs a commitment inside 24-72 hours.
- Instant file number — you get a reference number on screen, not in three days.
- Everyone copied from day one — agent, attorney, lender and buyer all on the distribution list.
From order to recorded deed.
Order & open
You submit the form. We open the file, assign a processor, and email every party the file number and contacts the same business day.
Search & commit
Our examiners run the search — in person at the courthouse where it matters. Residential commitments typically go out within 24 hours.
Clear & close
We resolve liens, judgments and estate issues, verify every wire, fund at the table, and record in the county the same week.
Twenty-year relationships, not transactions.
“American Title is the best title company in this area hands down! I have been using American Title for over 20 years, and I'm just as overwhelmed by the integrity and attention to detail today as I was on day one.”
“Scott and his team are the best at this family run business. I have done business with American Title Abstract for over 20 years both personally and professionally. Scott's knowledge and experience in the business is highly regarded.”
“I have been a full time realtor for 33 years and I have been exposed to countless title companies during that time. American Title stands apart for responsiveness and accuracy.”
Your buyer’s down payment is the target.
Real estate wire fraud is the single most expensive thing that can go wrong at a closing, and it happens by email. Here is exactly what we do about it on every file — and what we will never do.
Our wiring instructions do not change. If you receive an email that appears to come from our office with updated account numbers, it is fraudulent. Call (856) 228-1220 and speak to a person before sending a dollar.
- Verbal verification on every wire — we call you on a number we already have on file, not one from an email signature.
- Bank account validation before funding — payee name is matched to the account before anything moves.
- Encrypted document delivery — settlement statements and payoffs travel through a secure portal, not plain email.
- ALTA Best Practices framework — written procedures for escrow controls, data security and file retention.
- Buyer education at contract — every buyer gets a one-page warning sheet the day the file opens.
All 21 counties. Deep roots in the south.
We search statewide, and we know the clerks, the quirks and the recording timelines in South Jersey because we have been doing it here for five decades.
Title questions, answered plainly.
How fast can I get a title commitment?
Most residential purchase files in South Jersey go out within 1 week of the order. Refinances typically take 1 week. Commercial files, estates and anything requiring a chain beyond 60 years take longer, and we will tell you the realistic date when we open the file — not the day before closing.
What does a title search actually reveal?
A search reconstructs the ownership history of the property and surfaces anything recorded against it: prior deeds and mortgages, open judgments, child support liens, municipal and tax liens, easements, restrictive covenants, estate and probate issues, mechanics liens, and open permits in some municipalities.
It also confirms the legal description matches what is actually being sold — which is where a surprising number of deals get saved.
Who pays for title insurance in New Jersey?
In New Jersey the buyer customarily pays for both the owner’s policy and the lender’s policy. The seller pays the Realty Transfer Fee. Since July 10, 2025, the graduated fee on transfers above $1 million is also paid by the seller. Our net sheet calculator splits the charges out by side.
Do you work with LLC buyers, assignments and double closings?
Yes, and routinely. We handle assignment of contract, simultaneous and double closings, LLC and land trust vestings, tax sale certificate foreclosures, and high-value investor portfolios. This is a large part of our book and not something we treat as an exception.
Is a title search the same as title insurance?
No. The search tells you what is recorded. The policy protects you from what was not — forged deeds, undisclosed heirs, recording errors, fraud and defects nobody could have found in the public record. The search is the diligence; the policy is the indemnity.
What do you need from me to open a file?
A fully executed agreement of sale, the property address and block/lot, buyer and seller names and contact information, the lender contact if there is financing, and the target closing date. Everything else we chase down. The order form walks you through it.
