What ABAR Abstract does

ABAR Abstract Corp is a private regional title insurance and real estate abstracting services provider headquartered at 65 West Broad Street, Suite 101, Rochester, New York. Founded in 2010, the company delivers certified abstracts, redate services, property reports, UCC and judgment searches, franchise tax searches, certificates of good standing, document recording, and title insurance to mortgage companies, lenders, real estate attorneys, and property buyers across all counties in New York State, covering both residential and commercial transactions.

The business operates on a transactional, unit-based pricing model. Certified full abstracts start at $895+, locate and redate abstracts range from $205 to $850, last owner property reports run $295 to $350, and ancillary per-name searches (judgment, lien, surrogate, UCC, franchise tax) are priced at $50 per name, with certificates of good standing at $150 per name. Title insurance is underwritten through First American Title Insurance, with rate quotes generated via First American's and FNF's rate calculators. Customers order through a secured 24/7 online order form on abarabstract.com, by phone (585-241-3373), or via email — a direct-to-consumer, hybrid self-serve/inside-sales go-to-market motion.

The company maintains 11–50 employees, has no disclosed subsidiaries, no external funding rounds, and no parent company. It has recently invested in growing its footprint and new technologies to streamline internal policies, procedures, and communications, and has added staff with expertise in title insurance and real estate information/search services. No proprietary technology platform, mobile application, API, or AI/ML capability is disclosed; technology adoption appears confined to the website, online ordering, and rate-calculator integration with First American.
