Chicago Title’s Washington DC National Commercial Center is proudly committed to building enduring relationships with our clients. We invite you to hear what a few industry leaders have to say about our team of dedicated professionals:
"I trust Eric Taylor and Chicago Title to offer creative problem-solving and overcome obstacles that go beyond the title work on our deals."
Donna P. Shafer
Executive Vice President
West*Group
“Service is a critical factor in selecting a title insurer. Eric Taylor understands the importance of service. He is responsive, creative, and diligent. While some title insurers may reject a certain approach to a title issue, Eric keeps an open mind and will work with me to arrive at a mutually satisfactory solution--all without delaying the process or triggering additional costs. It's always a pleasure to work with Eric and his team. They are knowledgeable, reliable, and know how to get the deal done--on time. I wholeheartedly recommend Eric to those in the commercial real estate industry who expect, and demand, top flight service from their title insurer.”
Kevin L. Shepherd
Partner
Venable LLP
“WRIT has relied on Chicago Title’s National Accounts' office in Washington for all of its title needs for the past twelve years. The service we receive has been second to none and when an issue has to be resolved, regardless of the level of complexity, it is done quickly without a lot of bureaucratic nonsense. We consider Traci, Eric, Angie and Charlotte to be an extension of our acquisitions team.”
Tom Regnell
Managing Director, Acquisitions
Washington Real Estate Investment Trust
“I rely on Chicago Title’s national business unit in DC to add value to our complex, multi-state transactions from the very beginning. Secure online document collaboration adds efficiency by giving all parties the ability to review deal-specific materials at any time or place. The national team’s calculation of transfer taxes/recording fees/expenses across multiple jurisdictions assist us in refining assumptions we include in our investment models and help us project returns more accurately. It is invaluable to have a single point of contact in Eric Taylor, Traci Harris and their competent national staff. Time and again, this NBU team has demonstrated a high degree of flexibility in its underwriting and a consistent ability to handle a high volume of work under frequent time constraints.”
Sean P. Murphy
Executive Vice President & General Counsel
Wakefield Capital
"Charles Duke performed the Borrower's title work on the largest real estate pool our group has closed to date. On a large transaction with multiple moving parts and mountains of moving paper, experience, expertise and the tenure necessary to make coverage decisions without "up the chain" delays is critical. Charles has those attributes. He also demonstrated that we could trust his word and his product. In the final days before closing, participants sometimes outpace the paperwork, and Charles' end product always accurately reflected his verbal agreements. On a personal level, his even temper and good humor in the face of overwhelming work and pressure were much appreciated."
Bernice H. Cilley
Partner
Troutman Sanders LLP
“One of the interesting and sometimes frustrating aspects of the real estate business is that every transaction is different. Eric Taylor and his Chicago Title team have consistently helped Opus resolve complex chain of ownership issues quickly and efficiently. They are professional, they have integrity, they do what they say they will do, they get it done when they say it will be done..... and they are genuinely nice people to work with.”
Jim Lee
President & Chief Executive Officer
Opus East, L.L.C.
"I wanted to impart my experience and impressions of using Chicago Title's National Business Unit in general and Eric Taylor in particular. I have practiced law in the Washington, D.C. area for over 30 years, with an emphasis on commercial real estate transactions. During that time, I have always sought sharp, competent people to assist me on those transactions, including the title insurance company engaged to assist in the transaction. Chicago Title's DC team has long remained one of my most trusted resources. Prompt, reliable service and competent, knowledgeable professionals are a must in closing larger, and sometimes even smaller, complicated transactions. The staff at Chicago Title has always been reliable and efficient, and in particular Eric Taylor is someone I know I can always count on for open-minded, creative thinking when knotty title related issues arise. In those cases, the "standard manual" does not work, and in order to get the deal done creative thinking is a must. That is when Eric Taylor shines."
Ronald S. Shapiro
Partner
Shapiro, Lifschitz and Schram, P.C.
"Charles Duke is Chicago Title's secret weapon. In the field of title insurance, Mr. Duke has seen it all. He has an encyclopedic grasp of the industry and, like a title god, he can be relied on as a final authority when trying to resolve thorny and/or unusual title issues."
