Exhibit A
Title Companies work in Spokane
Spokane has a steady base of title and escrow firms serving Spokane County, from long established local companies to offices tied to national underwriters, and they compete for the same searches from buyers, sellers, realtors and lenders. The demand is tied to the housing market: every purchase, refinance and new construction loan in the Spokane area needs title work and a closing, so the searches follow the transaction volume in the city and the surrounding county. Paid search in this trade in Spokane is modest compared with larger metros, which means organic visibility carries a lot of the weight for firms that want to be found. The firms taking that demand are a mix of local owner operated companies and branch offices of larger underwriters, and both types show up in the results for Spokane closing and escrow searches.
