“For any commercial developer/builder/manager, establishment of a relationship with a dependable, dedicated and highly-skilled title company is vital to operations. Throughout our relationship with Seaver Title, we have benefitted from the Seaver commercial team’s expertise on innumerable occasions and on many levels. From its timely and accurate title services, whether relative to large projects or small, to its escrow abilities permitting us to consummate even the most complicated transactions, Seaver’s performance has been exceptional. On the title side, Dave Barris is knowledgeable, reliable and intensely committed to servicing our needs. His familiarity with the rate structures for all major carriers in Michigan and his relationships with each of the respective underwriting groups provide our company with significant benefits. His practical approach to title issues avoids undue delays in the insurance process. On the closing/escrow side, Tina Easley is always supremely organized and prepared for whatever we throw at her. With her focus, thorough understanding of escrow processes and unique problem-solving abilities, she always seems to be several steps ahead of the game. These very same attributes that Dave and Tina possess resonate throughout the commercial department. The entire team performs on a timely basis and with great professionalism and resourcefulness.”
