What We Do

Everything your closing needs, under one roof

Title Examination

Before you close, we dig into the property's full history — deeds, liens, judgments, and recording gaps — and resolve issues before they can slow you down. Unreleased liens and heirship surprises are common in Maryland; we find them first.

Title Insurance

One-time premium, lifetime protection. Owner's and lender's policies defend your ownership against covered claims that even a careful search can't always reveal — forged documents, unknown heirs, recording errors.

Settlement Services

From contract to keys, we coordinate every party — buyers, sellers, agents, and lenders — handle the funds securely, and run a closing table that's organized, explained, and on schedule.

The Ally Title Difference

Why buyers, sellers, and agents choose us

Local depth, not a call center

We work Maryland files every day — Anne Arundel ground rent quirks, county recording practices, jurisdiction-specific taxes. When something unusual surfaces, we've usually seen it before.

Real estate in our DNA

Our president also owns Blackwell Real Estate, a brokerage serving MD, VA, DC & DE. We understand agent deadlines and buyer emotions because we live on both sides of the transaction.

Proactive communication

You'll never wonder where your file stands. We flag issues early, update every party at each milestone, and pick up the phone when you call.

Security-first funds handling

Wire fraud is the #1 threat at closing. We verify instructions by phone, never change wiring details by email, and walk every client through safe transfer practices.

How It Works

Your Maryland closing, step by step

Most closings take 30–45 days from contract. Here’s what we’re doing behind the scenes the whole way.

  1. 1

    Contract to us

    Your agent or lender sends us the ratified contract. We open your file the same day and introduce ourselves so you know exactly who's handling your closing.

  2. 2

    Search & exam

    We research the property's title history, order payoffs and lien releases, and clear anything that could cloud your ownership — before it becomes a problem.

  3. 3

    Clear to close

    We coordinate with your lender, prepare the settlement statement, and review your numbers with you ahead of time. No closing-table surprises.

  4. 4

    Closing day

    Sign, celebrate, get your keys. We explain every document in plain English and typically have you done in under an hour.

  5. 5

    After closing

    We record your deed, disburse funds, release old liens, and issue your owner's title policy — protection that lasts as long as you own the home.

“Another smooth settlement with Jen Lader and Ally Title! Great service! Great communication!”
“Ally Title came through for the win. When one of my buyer's was about to cancel their contract because they couldn't find a lender to approve a loan for a mixed-use property, Jennifer pointed us to a lender she worked with before that does these types of loans. That day we were able to get approved for the loan and able to close on time. Thanks to Jennifer and Ally Title my buyer was able to purchase the property they wanted.”
