Premier Title and Escrow

What Premier Title and Escrow does

Premier Title and Escrow is a Hawaii-based, privately held title insurance and escrow company headquartered at 737 Bishop Street, Suite 2020, in Honolulu. Founded in 2012 and operating with 11-50 employees, the company positions itself as the only 100% locally owned and independent full-service title and escrow firm in the state. It generates revenue primarily through one-time title insurance premiums (with disclosed minimum charges of $605 for an ALTA Owner's policy and $605 for any ALTA Loan Policy), transaction-based escrow fees, and ancillary services such as 1031 tax-deferred exchanges delivered through its wholly-owned subsidiary Premier Exchange, Inc.

The company's core technology stack is built around digital transaction enablement rather than algorithmic differentiation: it offers an Instant Net Sheet mobile and web application with side-by-side scenario comparisons and one-click title ordering, a contract upload capability, online ordering forms, and mobile closing services for remote participation. Title insurance capacity is sourced through partnerships with three national underwriters — Stewart, NATIC, and Westcor — which allow Premier to issue policies across owner, homeowner, lender, and junior loan categories, as well as litigation guarantees. Supporting products include property profile reports, buyer/seller net sheets, marketing assistance for real estate professionals (E-Blast, Farm List, postcards), and a dedicated commercial title and escrow line covering office, multi-family, and low-income rental housing transactions.

Premier Title and Escrow pursues a sales-led go-to-market through direct customer contact (website, phone at (808) 687-6700), realtor referral partnerships, and lender relationships requiring TRID-compliant closings. Its customer segmentation is horizontal, serving Realtors, Consumers, Lenders, and Commercial clients in parallel. Distribution is supported by a content marketing presence that includes a video library, downloadable marketing collateral, and active profiles on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. The company offers a structured set of pricing discounts — including 25-50% off title premiums for first-time homebuyers, senior citizens, government employees, U.S. Armed Forces members, real estate investors, and short-term transactions — to drive volume across multiple buyer segments.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• First American Title Insurance Company: One of the largest U.S. title insurers and settlement service providers with national direct operations. Comparable because it competes for the same lender and realtor title-issuance flows that Premier Title & Escrow targets, but at massive scale and across all geographies.
• Stewart Title: National title underwriter that is already a partner of Premier Title & Escrow and offers direct title and escrow services in Hawaii and across the U.S. Comparable because it can supply the same products Premier resells, and represents both a partner and a competitive threat.
• Chicago Title: Major national title insurer (FNF group) operating agency and direct operations. Comparable on direct-to-consumer title and escrow product set; significantly larger scale with national brand recognition in real-estate transaction services.
• Fidelity National Title: National title insurance and escrow services division of Fidelity National Financial, the largest title insurance underwriter in the U.S. Comparable offering and customer base (lenders, real-estate agents, consumers) but with national underwriter economics and integrated technology.
• WFG National Title: National title underwriter with a distributed agency model that competes for the same lender and realtor relationships Premier Title & Escrow serves. Comparable on agency-driven title issuance and escrow.
• Old Republic National Title: Large national title underwriter providing commercial and residential title insurance and escrow services. Comparable product set, particularly for the commercial title work that Premier is expanding into.

Emerging players

• Notarize: Remote online notarization platform enabling digital closings. Comparable because it directly competes with Premier's mobile-closing service for buyer/seller participation in real-estate settlements.
• Qualia: Title and closing technology platform serving title agents, lenders, and real-estate professionals nationwide. Comparable because it competes for the digital-tooling layer of the title transaction workflow that Premier has built its own proprietary tools around.
• Spruce (Better.com): PropTech platform providing title insurance, escrow, and closing services integrated with lender and real-estate flows. Comparable at the digital title and closing product layer that Premier's net-sheet calculator and online ordering compete with.

Regional players

• Title Guaranty of Hawaii: Hawaii-specific title insurance and escrow company with state-wide operations. Direct competitor in the same regional market serving realtors, lenders, and consumers for Hawaii real-estate closings.
