People often ask what Prairie Title does. We don’t sell real estate. We don’t make mortgages. We are not affiliated with any companies that do; we believe that if we were, our judgment might be a bit clouded. You see, we answer to no other purpose. We are an independent title agent in your community. Our only mission is to make sure you have peace of mind and undisturbed enjoyment of your home.
Over four decades we have earned the confidence of the national and regional title underwriters we represent. They provide rock-solid protection in the event that a claim is asserted against your ownership. We search public records — the Recorder’s office, courthouse documents and tax rolls —to ascertain that all conditions and possible defects are uncovered BEFORE you take ownership. We protect your interests for as long as you own your home. And, there are no recurring premiums for this protection. A one time fee is paid at closing.
We work with you and your lawyer to make the closing process safe, transparent, and efficient. We handle your funds, important documents, and your personal information with utmost care — and security. We want you to be fully informed and comfortable in what may be the largest financial transaction in your life.
We are proud members of the American Land Title Association and the Illinois Land Title Association. We are deeply committed to conducting our business in accordance with the industry’s published Title and Settlement Company Best Practices. Check us out.

So, when people ask, “What does Prairie Title do?” The answer is simple. We give you peace of mind by protecting your property rights. PERIOD!
