Title insurance premiums totaled an estimated $3.74 billion in 2023, reflecting steady demand for the risk protection these policies provide during real estate transactions. At the same time, about 30 percent of closings now incorporate digital tools—remote online notarization, e-signatures and secure portals—underscoring how technology reshapes settlement services. In Winchester, three local title firms have distinguished themselves by combining deep expertise with personalized support, guiding buyers and sellers through every step of a smooth closing.
