Exhibit A
Title Companies work in Oxnard
Oxnard is a working city of around 200,000 people on the Ventura County coast, and its title and escrow work follows the housing stock: a large base of single family homes, a big stock of older houses near downtown and in the surrounding tracts, and steady refinance and resale activity across the Oxnard Plain. The firms serving it range from national title underwriters with local escrow branches to independent title companies and escrow offices that work the Ventura County recorder and the local real estate offices. Search demand for title and escrow services in Oxnard is steady rather than seasonal, and it is split between people searching for a title company by name, people searching for escrow help near a specific part of the city, and real estate agents and lenders looking for a closing partner they can send work to. The searches are local, they are specific, and they reward a firm that has pages written for the places and the situations its customers actually search.
