Sale | Purchase | Refinance

Orleans Title Insurance Agency, L.L.C. (Orleans Title) is Steeg Law’s in-house title insurance agency for Residential closings in Greater New Orleans and throughout Louisiana. Our title attorneys have more than 100 years of combined title examination, underwriting and claims handling experience, which improves the quality of these transactions and makes for orderly closings for buyers, sellers and borrowers.

We handle transactions large and small, from vacant lots where someone will have a construction loan to build their home, to luxury homes, and everything in between. Whether you are purchasing, selling or refinancing a $42,000 lot or a $3,000,000 home, we treat each transaction with the same importance.

Why Orleans Title for Residential Title Insurance?

Orleans Title offers a more personal experience than larger title agencies because of the number and experience of our title examiners. We frequently find title issues overlooked by prior closing agencies and are often able to find creative solutions to solve the issue in a timely manner.

Access to Steeg Law’s title and closing attorneys and our full range of high quality title services is also an added benefit for you. We work with many different lenders and are good at navigating their different requirements for home loans, making it easier for buyers and homeowners who are refinancing their loans.

Finally, we have empathy for home buyers, many of whom are nervous about a big personal investment. As a small firm with specialized title attorneys and paralegals, you will receive the individual attention you deserve. Our notarial secretaries work closely with the title and closing attorneys to ensure that your transaction proceeds to a satisfactory conclusion.
