Real Property Abstract & Title Services

What Real Property Abstract & Title Services does

Real Property Abstract & Title Services, LLC (RPAT/RPATS) is a privately held New York title insurance and abstract services firm founded in 2014 by Paul Conrad and headquartered at 85 Civic Center Plaza, Suite 201A, Poughkeepsie, NY. The company delivers title insurance, abstracts of title, record searches, municipal code compliance checks, and document recording/filing across all New York State counties, serving attorneys for real estate purchasers, borrowers, lenders, multi-unit developers, commercial clients, and litigation settlement counterparties. Its GTM is sales-led and relationship-driven, anchored on attorney referral networks across the Hudson Valley and New York State rather than direct consumer marketing.

The core offering is built around manual examination of public records — deeds, mortgages, wills, divorce decrees, court judgments, tax records, liens, encumbrances, and maps — combined with municipal search coordination and multi-county recording. RPAT issues title insurance policies as an authorized agent of three underwriters: eSecurity Title, WFG National Title, and Chicago Title Insurance Company (CTIC). The firm has digitalized intake via a multi-step online title insurance quote form and a downloadable forms library, but its underlying process remains document- and relationship-intensive rather than technology-platform-driven.

Revenue is generated through transactional unit pricing across five streams: title insurance premiums (state-regulated by the NYS Department of Financial Services with TIRSA), abstracts of title ($150–$500), municipal searches ($150–$350 residential, higher commercial), recording/filing fees ($45/document plus $5/page, plus conveyance and tax form filings), and ancillary services such as escrow (from $50), bankruptcy/Patriot Act/UCC searches, and survey inspections. The firm operates an 11-person specialist team including a Managing Director, Esquire of Counsel, Principal Closer, Senior Title Examiner, title examiners, paralegals, recording assistant, bookkeeper, and administrative staff, with management claiming 100+ years of combined experience across more than 25,000 lifetime transactions.

Scale indicators3 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Old Republic National Title Insurance Company: Established national title underwriter issuing policies through direct offices and agents. Comparable as a competing source of title insurance underwriting capacity for NY attorneys and lenders.
• Stewart Title Guaranty Company: Major national title underwriter issuing policies through direct operations and authorized agents in NY. Comparable as both a competitor and potential underwriter-partner to RPAT's authorized-agent business model.
• First American Title Insurance Company: One of the largest national title insurance underwriters with direct operations and agency networks across New York. Highly comparable as a competing source of title insurance and search services, though it operates at national scale rather than as a boutique agent.
• Fidelity National Title Insurance Company: Large national title underwriter with significant NY presence, issuing lender and owner title policies. Comparable because it competes for the same attorney and lender referrals in the Hudson Valley and broader NY market.
• Ticor Title Guarantee Company: Regional title underwriter with NY operations issuing policies through agents. Comparable as an alternative underwriter option for NY attorneys and as a competitor in the agent space.

Direct peers

• WFG National Title Insurance Company: National title underwriter that appoints authorized agents, including RPAT. Comparable as both a partner for policy issuance and a competing agent-recruiting underwriter in NY.
• Westcor Land Title Insurance Company: Title underwriter focused on agent-driven production, appointing independent title agents across multiple states. Comparable to RPAT as a competing agent-affiliated model with similar underwriting partnerships.
• Chicago Title Insurance Company: National title underwriter and current underwriting partner of RPAT through the CTIC agency relationship. Directly comparable as a channel through which RPAT issues policies and a competitor that could steer business to wholly owned operations.
• eSecurity Title: National title underwriter that has appointed RPAT as an authorized agent. Comparable as a current partner and a peer that could recruit competing agents or build direct NY operations.

Emerging players

• RealEstateTitle.com: Online-focused title and settlement services provider that competes on speed and digital experience in residential real estate. Comparable as an emerging alternative to traditional boutique title agencies serving NY transactions.
