What King Title does

King Title is a privately held, attorney-owned title and closing services company headquartered in Sarasota, Florida. Operating as King Title LLC (also referenced as King Title Information Services Corporation in legal documents), the firm delivers title research, title insurance underwriting, and full closing coordination for residential and light commercial real estate transactions. Its customer base spans individual home buyers and sellers, local realtors, and mortgage lenders in the Sarasota market. The company is led by attorney Mary King, who provides legal oversight, and Closing Manager Kyra Johnson, who manages day-to-day transaction execution.

The company's core product suite is organized around three service pillars: title research (searches, commitments, and encumbrance reports), title insurance (both owner's and lender's policies, underwritten through Westcor Land Title Insurance Company), and closing services (document preparation, escrow, notary, mail-away/remote closings, and contract review). It also offers specialized support such as 1031 exchange closings and mortgage refinance settlements. Pricing follows Florida's regulated title insurance rate structure, with additional closing-related fees charged on a transactional basis.

King Title generates revenue on a per-transaction model through title insurance premiums and closing service fees, with no subscription or recurring component. Distribution is conducted through a single physical office, supported by a content-marketing website (including 24 educational FAQ videos) and B2B referral relationships with realtors and lenders. The firm is a Certified Title Agency of Westcor Land Title Insurance Company, subject to Westcor's Compliance Audit Program reviewed by RSM US, LLP. There are no public funding events, no disclosed headcount growth, and no evidence of geographic expansion beyond the Sarasota market.

• First American Title Insurance Company: Largest U.S. title insurer and one of the leading underwriters of title insurance and escrow/closing services nationally. Directly comparable as a provider of owner's and lender's title insurance, but operates at national scale rather than a single local market.
