Descriptiontext

Maryland Trust Title & Escrow, LLC is a Maryland-based title insurance and real estate settlement services company founded in 2008. The firm operates as an independent agent for Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, issuing title insurance policies and providing title searches/abstracts, real estate closings, and escrow services for residential and commercial transactions in Maryland and Virginia. Service scope covers purchases, sales, refinances, construction loans, 1031 exchanges, home equity loans, and reverse mortgages, with an enhanced-coverage Advantage Owner's Residential Policy available in addition to standard Owner's and Lender's policies. The firm operates from five physical offices in Prince Frederick, La Plata, California, Annapolis, and Ocean City, anchoring coverage across Calvert, Charles, Anne Arundel, and Worcester counties.

The company is attorney-owned by Mark Davis and Mark Palumbo, who are also partners at the law firm Davis & Palumbo, LLC (established 1988), giving the firm embedded legal expertise and a referral pipeline from the legal community. Day-to-day operations are led by General Manager Kelly Bruffy. Workflows rely on third-party technology integrations — Titlewave for title abstract production and TitleCapture for online consumer quote requests — but the core settlement process remains manual and human-staffed by licensed settlement agents. Title insurance premium rates are statutorily set by the Maryland Insurance Administration and cannot be varied by the agent.

Revenue is generated through title insurance policy commissions on Owner's and Lender's policies and settlement/escrow fees at closing. The go-to-market model is sales-led and referral-driven, sourced primarily from real estate agents, lenders, and attorneys, with TitleCapture adding a direct consumer channel. The firm employs 11-50 people and serves individual buyers and sellers, commercial real estate clients, refinance borrowers, and institutional lenders, processing "thousands" of Maryland and Virginia real estate transactions per year.
