Not sure what you mean.

Small title companies can be very lucrative.

Writing title as agent for an underwriter can also be lucrative, although profits there are being squeezed more and more, particularly for sophisticated commercial deals. Still, if you’re on the buy side, you’ll be doing almost all of the work required to issue a commitment and policy anyway.

Yes - the underwriters will require that.

I’d never advise someone to try to do this in their own without experience.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
