Williams Title & Escrow

I’ve been a mortgage loan officer for 14 years. Williams Title has been great at servicing our needs. They helped me out with some very challenging situations. They’ve been really friendly with all of my clients. I look forward to continuing to refer them.

As a Realtor in the Denver area for over 21 years I have experienced the services of several different title companies. I have found the service at Williams Title & Escrow to be among the best. Their people are very professional, courteous and efficient. Anytime a question has come up Betsy Williams, President, and Michelle McCollum, Chief Operating Officer, have always been available to step in to ensure everything is handled properly. I would highly recommend Williams Title & Escrow for any title needs.

We have been in a dispute with Williams Title for almost a year now due to a major error they made in their title search. While the company has recognized its error and offered compensation, no compensation has ever arrived. My understanding is that the Company is in financial trouble, so use them at your own risk!

As a local real estate broker, I have had a very hard time finding any proactive title company in Denver and thought I would give these guys another shot. As you can see, their other reviews have not been steller, and at first I was getting passed around the office and falling through the cracks. I admit I was becoming nervous about recommending Williams.
Unfortunately, the deal we were working on recently didn’t close yet because the lender did a 180 the day before closing. It was no fault of mine or the title companies.
I did eventually get the attention I needed after becoming a squeaky wheel, but like I said, its very hard to find quality service in a Denver title company. Luckily I found Jodi, one of the many closers in the apparently large office. Jodi has been excellent and involved. I really love that she would reply quickly when we had any concerns. They really went out of their way to help us, once I brought my concerns to their attention. Since we had purchased the property through them 3 years before, with no problems, I thought it would be an easy reissue, but HOA changes proved to make things more challenging. Once the deal tanked I figure since we had done everything already, I would just need to pop it back on the market, get it under contract and we would be back doing business.
I have even heard from the president of the company who seems to be hands on and available.
Stay tuned!

I work for a mortgage company in the closing side of things, so I’m familiar with how title and title companies work. This place is OK. I find them rather slow and just iffy. We closed with them in February of last year and then discovered our home insurance funds were sent to the wrong place!
I called Williams and talked to Lisa about the problem. Our mortgage company (another horror story) had told them the wrong company. She cancelled the check previously sent and re-​sent another, sending me the verification. This was resolved asap, which I appreciated.
What I did not like was the feel of the place or the rest of the people there. They were cold and seemed constantly like we were doing them a disservice by choosing them and using them for closing.
My sister is buying a home now, and I’ve told her to avoid and instead go to one of my preferred title co’s in CO.

We purchased a home using Williams Title in January 2013 as a closing company. Williams Title did not identify any issue with the title prior to closing. A few months later, when we applied for a home improvement loan, the title company for the new loan (Land Title) discovered that there was a broken link in the title chain and, as a result, we only owned 50% of the house. Both Land Title and the financing bank were shocked that Williams Title had not discovered this straightforward issue.
It took a lawyer until early October to resolve the title issue for us. In the mean time, we were not able to live in the home, start construction, or even rent the home to someone else since we did not own it. During the period, we were paying a mortgage on the property (for 100% of the value of the home), rent in another home where we were living, fees to extend the mortgage rate on our home improvement load, property taxes, utilities, and construction costs continued to rise. Other than pointing us toward the title insurance, which we fortunately had purchased, Williams Title has done nothing to help fix their mistake. We asked Williams Title to cover some of the costs we had to absorb for the nine months it took to solve the title issue, but it’s been nearly five months since that request and we have not had an answer yet.
As a title company, Williams Title has one job and one job only — to ensure a clean title on purchase of a home. Not only they failed miserably at this one job, but have shown negligence and have done nothing to make it right. Use this company at your own risk.

Avoid like the plague. Williams Title should change their motto to «Just A Couple More Minutes». Another accurate choice would be «That’s Not Our Responsibility». This title company was chosen by the seller, HUD, a government entity. No surprise, they probably chose the lowest bidder.
My real estate and mortgage team were on top of their game. Williams Title threw a tantrum when we chose not to employ them for title insurance. They intentionally denied us necessary documents we needed to finish the underwriting process. We were prepared to close on the 7^th, and after clawing our way uphill, we managed to finally schedule a closing date 8 days later after being bullied into using them for title insurance. And what a shock, they were more than half an hour late to our closing, leaving us sitting in the room to wait.
Their lack of following through on their responsibilities resulted in a problem with transferring closing money, extending the closing process from a one hour into a four and a half hour affair. If that sounds fun to you, by all means, choose them.
The owner, Ms. Williams jumped in an helped make things work. But, that does not make up for the problems with the business, nor should it be necessary to handle a closing.
TL:DR Avoid it like a guy in a van offering free candy.
