Boston National Title Agency

What Boston National Title Agency does

Boston National Title Agency, LLC is a US-based real estate title insurance and settlement services company headquartered at Two Radnor Corporate Center, 100 Matsonford Rd., Radnor, PA 19087. The company is a privately held LLC operating as a subsidiary of Essent Group Ltd. (NYSE: ESNT), a publicly traded title and mortgage insurance provider. As of June 9, 2025, Boston National Title announced it will operate under the Essent brand, reflecting full corporate-identity alignment with its parent. The company serves individual buyers and sellers, mortgage lenders, real estate brokers and agents, and legal professionals involved in real estate transactions, providing title insurance protection against defects in title (fraud, liens, encumbrances, ownership disputes) and settlement/closing services that facilitate property transfers.

The company's core products are (i) title insurance policies — typically structured as one-time premiums paid at closing — and (ii) settlement/closing services rendered on a professional-services basis per transaction. An 'Instant Quote' tool is available through the online order portal at orders.bostonnationaltitle.com, and the company also accepts orders by phone (800.940.7005) and at multiple physical offices across the United States. No underlying technology stack, proprietary platform, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed in the available source material. The company does not publish pricing or fee schedules; quotes are generated per transaction based on property value and deal specifics.

Boston National Title generates revenue on a transaction-by-transaction basis from two streams: title insurance premiums (one-time per transaction) and settlement/closing service fees (professional-services basis). The go-to-market motion is sales-led B2B with multiple distribution channels — a self-serve online portal, an inside-sales phone team, and physical offices — augmented by referral partnerships with lenders, brokers, and real estate agents. Customer-facing contact is supported by audio recording of telephone interactions for quality assurance. The company maintains compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to title insurance, and its privacy framework references obligations to Essent Group Ltd. shareholders, including dividend distribution and shareholder register maintenance. Revenue scale is not disclosed in any source.
