I "finished" with them several years ago. They told me it was a simple refi - remember they are the title company, they know EXACTLY what is involved in the transaction. Paperwork showed up on my porch and it was a: starker exchange, construction loan, purchase with buyers, sellers, the contractor, two realtors and a lawyer going to be in the room. I immediately called and said I needed a higher fee. They said my job was exactly the same whether a refi or all this additional responsibility. I told them to have a "signing agent/notary" pick up the paperwork and good luck with them even being able to connect the parties, let alone being able to figure out who signs what. They agreed to my higher fee but we moved on.
Towards the end, they were VERY slow to pay.
