Welcome to Scioto Title

Your Trusted Partner for your Real Estate Transactions

At Scioto Title, we believe every successful real estate transaction begins with trust, communication, and a deep connection to the community we serve. Located in the heart of Columbus, Ohio, our name pays homage to one of the most iconic waterways in the state, the Scioto River.

The Scioto River flows through Northern and Central Ohio down to the Ohio River, shaping the land and history of our region. For centuries, it has been a symbol of growth, commerce, and connection. This river is so integral to Ohio’s identity that it appears on the Ohio State Seal and the Ohio Notary Seal, representing prosperity and the enduring spirit of our state.

Just as the Scioto River has guided generations, Scioto Title is here to guide you through the complexities of real estate transactions with clarity and confidence.

We are committed to providing exceptional title and escrow services that protect your property rights and ensure a smooth closing. Whether you’re buying your first home, refinancing, or managing a complex commercial transaction, our experienced team delivers accuracy, transparency, and peace of mind.

Real estate is more than a transaction, it’s a milestone. At Scioto Title, we’re honored to be part of your journey, safeguarding your investment and helping you close with confidence.
