What CATIC does

CATIC (Connecticut Attorneys Title Insurance Company) is a privately held title insurance underwriter founded in 1964 and headquartered in Rocky Hill, Connecticut. The company underwrites title insurance policies protecting homeowners and lenders against title defects, fraud, forgery, and ownership disputes, and provides ancillary title search, closing, bond, and compliance services. CATIC distributes exclusively through a network of more than 2,000 licensed attorney agents operating in over 25 states across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Midwest, and Southwest, supported by in-house Agency Advisors (paralegals and attorneys), state-level VP and State Manager leadership, and a dedicated Commercial Services group that leverages a strategic alliance with Lloyd's of London to underwrite transactions of all sizes.

CATIC's product and technology stack centers on TOPS, its title operations platform (version 10.0 released December 2023), surrounded by a portfolio of agent-facing tools including PrepExpress for closing workflows, CATICTrac for lien release and discharge tracking, CATIC Exchange for 1031 exchange guidance, UCPExpress for unclaimed property compliance, the Municipal Guide App, and CATIC Academy for online training and Best Practices Certification. The company is researching blockchain solutions for land registry security and pursuing AI-based fraud detection in response to rising real estate fraud claims. Its operating structure includes the CATIC Financial holding entity, separately licensed CATIC Title Insurance Company for NY/NJ/PA, the CATICPro bond services subsidiary, CATIC Exchange, and the CATIC Foundation nonprofit.

CATIC generates revenue primarily through one-time title insurance premiums collected at closing on both residential and commercial transactions, supplemented by fee-based professional services including title searches, 1099-S tax filing, bond services via CATICPro, unclaimed property compliance, and bookkeeping through CATIC Business Solutions. Pricing varies by property value, state, and policy type (lender vs. owner), with premiums tied to U.S. real estate transaction volumes. The company has invested in ecosystem expansion through the January 2023 Lane Guide acquisition, ongoing regional VP and counsel hires, and proactive positioning around the FinCEN Real Estate Residential Reporting Rule taking effect March 1, 2026.
