Ancona Title & Escrow Earns Stewart Title Circle of Excellence Award for 5th Consecutive Year.

Ancona Title and Escrow is proud to have qualified for the prestigious Stewart Title Circle of Excellence Award. Stewart thoughtfully selects top performing providers each year. Central to receiving this award is maintaining an exceptional title claims track record through risk prevention, with accurate in-house title search and examination prior to closing, and hands on problem solving throughout closing and post-closing. 

Stewart Title is an essential partner to the Ancona operation. This dynamic relationship has been in place for many years and is core to providing exceptional service to clients.  

“Being recognized for this award is extremely gratifying and humbling” said Chris Brown, president of Ancona. “I believe it is a direct reflection of the incredible staff and team we have. We take a great deal of pride in the work we do and it’s wonderful to see that acknowledged within our industry”. 

With 10 locations in Minnesota, Ancona has a notable presence around the state. Between their goal of providing a first in class operation and being a conscious contributor to the communities they serve, it’s not surprising they received this award.  

Ancona vows to continue placing clients first and assuring their assets are well protected. Continue to look for their positive influence in other meaningful areas like their Clean Energy Initiative.  

Ancona Title and Escrow is your dependable closing agent with an accommodating service strategy that is second to none.

Freddie Mac recently announced that a new single-close mortgage product will become available after November 2021. Dubbed the CHOICEReno eXPressSM , it is set to address certain types of renovations like interior/exterior painting, roof repairs, minor remodeling, window and door replacement and other like items. This will become part of the CHOICE suite of mortgage solutions and is an expansion of the CHOICERenovation® that is designed to provide flexible financing for lenders and borrowers. Per Freddie Mac, “this new mortgage solution enables Sellers to deliver CHOICEReno eXPress mortgages to Freddie Mac prior to completion of the renovations without recourse, provided certain requirements are met”. The eXPress option is designed to aid in addressing the growing supply of older homes, creating more affordable housing, and accommodate the heightening demand for aging-in-place housing options. For many people this loan option will be an improvement over the use of unsecured financing options or credit cards. At Ancona Title and Escrow we view this news as a welcomed opportunity for our important business partners. We support the home buying and selling market on all levels.
