Share on Reddit Business Description
This established title and escrow agency has served the Washington, DC metro area, one of the nation's wealthiest residential corridors, for approximately fifteen years. The business handles residential purchase, refinance, and commercial settlements from contract through closing, disbursement, recording, and policy issuance. 2026 pro forma revenue is approximately $2.07 million with Seller's Discretionary Earnings of approximately $853,000, an approximately 41% SDE margin, with closed files pacing 24% ahead of last year. Day-to-day production runs on a leading cloud title platform through a tenured, licensed staff with attorney capability, and remote and online closing infrastructure can close for parties located almost anywhere. Escrow is professionally reconciled by an independent outside firm every month, dual approval is required on every wire, and industry-standard wire-fraud verification tools are in place.
About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 15
- Employees
- 9 Full-time
- Facilities & Assets
- A professional leased office at market rent with no long-term obligation, positioned so a buyer can negotiate its own terms or relocate nearby. Closings also run at the parties' locations and online, so nothing about the operation is tied to the address.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The settlement industry in this corridor is fragmented among small agencies, and industry data puts the average area shop under $500K of annual revenue; this business runs roughly four times that size. Demand is transaction-mandated: essentially every financed real estate purchase requires title and settlement services. Barriers to entry are high, including underwriter appointments, individual producer licensing, and escrow infrastructure that survives audits, none of which can be bought quickly.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The growth levers are unpulled, not exhausted. Two adjacent licensed jurisdictions produce only about 12% of revenue today despite licensed producers already in place, and billings in one of them have already matched all of last year in just seven months. Marketing spend is roughly 2% of revenue with no paid digital presence, there has never been a structured sales program, and refinance volume arrives by phone with no marketing cost whenever rates step down. A perpetual out-of-state license with an established closing arrangement adds a further expansion lane a new owner can scale.

About the Sale
- Seller Motivation
- After approximately fifteen years the owner is ready to step back and is selling
- Transition Support
- The owner will provide an ample amount of transition and training, structured to the deal, with a longer defined role negotiable for the right offer. Every file's status, documents, and history live in the cloud production platform, not in anyone's head, and the licensed settlement team, including a senior settlement officer who can run day-to-day production, remains with the business.
- Financing Options
- The Seller will consider some financing for a well-qualified buyer.
