Closings that happen on the day
they were promised.
Stalwart Settlement Services handles title searches, title insurance and real estate closings in two states. Same standards, same people, whichever side of the transaction you are on.
Policies underwritten by Stewart Title Guaranty Company and Old Republic National Title Insurance Company.
Everything between the contract and the keys.
Title search & examination
We trace the chain of title, surface the liens, judgments and easements that attach to the property, and tell you what has to be cleared before anyone can close.
What a search covers →Title insurance
An owner’s policy protects the buyer’s stake for as long as they hold the property. A loan policy protects the lender. We issue both through Stewart and Old Republic.
Owner’s vs loan policies →Settlement & escrow
We hold the funds, prepare the settlement statement, run the signing, disburse, and record with the county. You get one point of contact from contract to recorded deed.
How a closing runs →Two states. Two entirely different sets of maths.
Pennsylvania and Alabama price a closing in ways that have almost nothing in common. Guessing from a national average will be wrong in both. Our calculators use each state’s published schedules.
Pennsylvania calculator
Title premium at the TIRBOP filed rate, plus realty transfer tax for every municipality in Allegheny County — which ranges from 2% to 5% depending on where the property sits.
Open the PA calculator →Alabama calculator
Title premium on the filed schedule, deed tax, mortgage tax and Madison County recording — including the rule that charges deed tax on your equity rather than the purchase price.
Open the AL calculator →The most expensive mistake in real estate takes ninety seconds to avoid.
We will never email you new wiring instructions.
Wire fraud in real estate works by intercepting email near closing and sending revised instructions that look exactly like ours. If you receive wiring instructions or a change to them by email — from us or from anyone — stop, and call us on a number you already had before that email arrived. Money sent to a fraudulent account is very rarely recovered.
Trusted for Pennsylvania & Alabama closings.
“Kristin’s response time and the assistance she provided my clients was top notch. The remote notary option and smooth closing process were greatly appreciated.”
“Greg and his team at Stalwart are by far my favorite title company in Pittsburgh. As a Realtor, I will use a title company over and over again so I am a tough critic!”
“They discovered a past easement and corrected it before closing. Very proactive and solution oriented.”
