Sage is my go-to for title insurance work, bar none. The CEO and President, Read Hammond, has decades of valuable professional experience in the business and a truly unique comprehensive skill set from having worn virtually every hat in the title office, including being an underwriting attorney. Hiring Read is like hiring a head coach that successfully played every position on the court and knows every play in the book and when to use them. He has provided exceptional service to my clients and me on every transaction. A big reason he is able to operate on such a high level is that he possesses four critical characteristics. He’s always thinking (and anticipating), he communicates well and often, he’s always available and he is responsive...even on nights and weekends - which has literally helped me salvage time sensitive deals. Sage Title is an invaluable part of my team.

As a commercial lender, I’ve worked with many title companies over the years. Having a solid title partner is key to achieving success in my operation yet finding a reliable partner had been problematic until I started working with Read Hammond at Sage Title Company. He has earned my complete trust and quickly became my go-to title partner. I gladly recommend him without any reservation based on his background, extensive experience, and excellent communication style. If you are still looking for your title expert to meet your title needs, consider giving Sage Title Company your next project; you’ll be glad you did.
— Andrey Tetuyev, Vice President - Stellar Bank

I use Sage Title for almost all my transactions. Read is diligent, timely, and overall great to work with. Read is also very responsive to resolve title questions/issues, answer questions about closing and thorough in explaining the closing documents. I can rely on Sage Title for a timely and smooth close.
