Ensignia Premier Title Agency

What Ensignia Premier Title Agency does

Ensignia Premier Title Agency is a privately held title insurance agency founded in 2010 and headquartered in Huntington, New York, serving the Long Island and New York metropolitan area. The company issues residential and commercial title insurance policies — including fee, loan, leasehold, condominium, and cooperative policies — underwritten by First American Title Insurance Company and Stewart Title Insurance Company. It also provides a catalog of special search services (attorney, UCC, judgment and lien, open mortgage, tax, last deed of record, zoning, flood, sewer, and others) and handles recording services across Suffolk County, Nassau County, and the 5 Boroughs of New York.

The company's proprietary technology is the Premier Online Report™, a web-based title management platform launched in 2014 that provides clients with real-time, secure access to transaction files, order history, status updates, reports, amendment letters, and recording information, optimized for iPad, iPhone, and mobile devices. Adjacent tools include a rate calculator, downloadable legal forms, and online ordering portals for both new and existing clients.

Ensignia generates revenue primarily through one-time title insurance premiums, per-transaction search fees (ranging from $20 to $350), and county-specific recording and escrow fees. Its customer base spans real estate agents, attorneys, developers, and lenders, with channel-driven order flow supported by referral partnerships — notably Signature Premier's 600+ Long Island agents. The company has held the "Best of Long Island" title insurance recognition for six consecutive years (2018-2023).
