Exhibit A
Title Companies work in Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge title work follows the housing stock. The city has a large base of older homes in Mid City and the Garden District, a steady run of new construction in the south parishes, and a commercial market tied to state government and the port. Searches for title companies, closing costs, escrow and title insurance come from buyers, sellers, realtors and lenders, and the firms competing for them range from national underwriter affiliates to small owner run offices that have worked the same parish for decades. Franchise brands hold a share of the referral traffic from realtor networks, while owner operators pick up repeat business and word of mouth. The demand is there every month of the year, spread across refinance, purchase and commercial closings.
