Madison Title Agency, LLC

What Madison Title Agency, LLC does

Madison Title Agency, LLC is a privately held nationwide title agency founded in 1998 and headquartered in Lakewood, New Jersey, operating as a subsidiary of Madison Commercial Real Estate Services. The firm provides title insurance, title search and examination, and closing and settlement services across both commercial and residential real estate transactions, serving attorneys, lenders, mortgage brokers, and real estate investors. Its commercial practice spans at least eight asset classes — healthcare, industrial, office, multifamily, hospitality, retail, construction lending, and residential/single-family — and the firm reports handling in excess of $15 billion in commercial real estate transaction volume annually, with licensing to underwrite in 34 states plus the District of Columbia.

The company's operating platform combines an in-house legal, compliance, and underwriting bench of 12+ attorneys and senior title officers with proprietary technology, including a customized wire verification system, an encrypted client portal with two-factor authentication, and an online ordering workflow that supports purchase, refinance, search-only, co-op, and foreclosure transactions. Demand is generated through direct professional referrals, an online order portal, public-facing calculators (mortgage, title fee, transfer tax), and continuing-education programs that have engaged 13,000+ individuals annually.

Revenue is generated on a transaction basis through regulated title insurance premiums (owner and lender policies), professional fees for title search and examination, and closing and settlement coordination. Pricing on the premium component is state-regulated and broadly comparable across providers, while ancillary services and multi-state portfolio work for CRE investors allow the firm to capture additional professional fees per transaction. The firm has no disclosed external funding, operates as a closely held subsidiary, and shows no M&A, IPO, or restructuring activity in the available data.
