Why Choose Us?
Independent
Since 1984, Tri-County Title Agency has remained independently owned and operated. We don't engage in affiliated business agreements, nor are we owned by any bank, mortgage company or other lenders. We believe these relationships don't always produce the best results for you, the borrower, or provide the best customer service.
Local
Tri-County Title staff live and work in Southeast Michigan. In today's market of out-of-state "mega" banks and mortgage companies, being locally owned and operated gives Tri-County Title far more flexibility to offer personalized service and other"extras" to our customers. We remain committed to serving and supporting the people and businesses of Southeast Michigan.
Covering All of Michigan
Whether you're refinancing your home in metro Detroit, financing your business, relocating across the state or buying vacation property Up North, Tri-County Title's coverage reaches every county in Michigan. This means we can handle closings for your convenience in Plymouth, eliminating an extra long-distance trip just to sign papers.
No Surprises
Surprises can be fun, but NOT at your closing! Everything is explained: You don't sign anything you don't understand. For 25 years, our track record reflects our commitment to this "no surprise" policy and ensures that your title work is completed accurately and efficiently.
Extras
Customers keep coming back to Tri-County Title because of customer service that goes the "extra mile:' Closings are arranged for the time and place that's convenient for you. If our Plymouth office isn't convenient, we'll bring the closing to you. After-hours closings can also be arranged if needed. And if you've considered selling your home on your own, we'll help you get started with a free For Sale By Owner (FSBO) kit.
A Brief History of Tri-County Title Agency, Inc.:
In 1984, the State of Michigan, Insurance Commissioner determined, that Real Estate Companies owning Title Company was not in the the best interest of the consumer. He then ordered Real Estate Companies to divest themselves from the Title Companies they owned. Lincoln Title was jointly owned by two Real Estate Companies at the time. They sold their interest in Lincoln Title to their then Vice President, C. Parrott and he incorporated Tri-County Title Agency, Inc., in August 1984.
Some other Title Companies were also owned by banks and other Real Estate offices, but some of them didn't exactly divest. They moved ownership to someone else, that controlled, but that seemed to satisfy the State of Michigan, even though it was not completely transparent.
Why is being independent so important? We have had Real Estate agents bring us orders, when they couldn't get the "controlled title company" to do the closing or title timely, so he brought the order to us. Whether this was a case of being too busy, or knowing that the agent was stuck with a title company or the title company just didn't want to do one more file. it doesn't matter! The point was the client didn't get the service he wanted, when he wanted it. A "controlled title company" doesn't have to perform any extra services to keep a client happy. This is what free competition promotes. We provide services over and above the call, just to keep clients coming back.
