Title Agents, Escrow Agents, Title Abstractors E&O Insurance Tennant Risk Services specializes in professional liability (Errors & Omissions) insurance for title agents, escrow agents, title abstractors and related real estate services. We provide tailored E&O solutions through multiple admitted and surplus lines carriers, combining specialty underwriting knowledge with broad market access so you can place challenging accounts quickly and competitively. Overview of the Program from Tennant Risk Services This program is designed for independent agents and brokers who need a dependable market for title and escrow professional liability. Tennant Risk Services evaluates each account’s operations, loss history and territory to match risks with the appropriate admitted or excess & surplus carrier. We offer flexible limits, deductible choices and optional coverages to address common exposures such as escrow errors, closing mistakes, misinterpretation of title work and related professional services. Ideal Accounts and Appetite We write a broad range of title/escrow classes, including: Title agents and title agencies Abstractors and title search firms Escrow agents and escrow companies Loan closers and closing agents 1031 exchange facilitators and real estate intermediaries Document recorders Typical accounts we prefer include established agencies with routine residential and commercial closings, firms offering 1031 exchanges, and operations that provide multiple real estate services under one roof. We also consider startups and newly licensed agents, plus higher-exposure territories and accounts with prior losses where appropriate underwriting and pricing can be applied. Coverage Highlights and Advantages Professional liability / E&O coverage tailored to title and escrow operations Access to multiple carriers — admitted and non-admitted — depending on risk and state Optional extensions such as Cyber Risk (for data breach exposures) and Employment Practices Liability (EPL) Special provisions available for unique exposures (e.g., oil & gas asset classes, independent contractor arrangements) Flexible limits and deductible structures to meet client budgeting and risk tolerance Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums Underwriting focuses on operations, controls around closings and escrow handling, staff licensing and loss history. Tennant Risk Services can place tougher accounts: unique business models, multiple services, adverse loss experience or newly formed operations. Minimum premiums vary by carrier and account characteristics; some programs begin at lower entry levels (for example, minimums listed historically as low as $1,750), but final pricing depends on class, limits and territory. Example Accounts You Might Place A small title agency handling residential closings and occasional 1031 exchanges seeking $1M/$1M limits with a competitive premium and optional cyber coverage. A start-up escrow firm with limited experience looking for a professional liability policy with favorable limits and customized first-year underwriting considerations. An established title/escrow operation in a higher-exposure state that needs an E&S placement due to prior claims — Tennant can map the risk to appropriate surplus markets.
