When I set out to open Scioto Title, it wasn’t a sudden leap - it was a vision years in the making. Today, I am proud to share that our journey, core values, and community-first approach to title & escrow services were recently spotlighted by Delaware Source reporter Taylor Henninger.
The article, "Trust Scioto Title With Your Next Real Estate Transaction," captures the heart of why Scioto Title exists: to offer an experience that is professional without feeling institutional, flexible without losing the personal touch, and rooted deeply in trust.
Founded on Community: Why We Call COhatch Home
When it came time to launch Scioto Title in early 2026, my very first phone call was to Community Manager Laurie Ledon at COhatch Delaware (18 E. William St.). Having worked out of COhatch spaces since 2019, I always knew it would be the permanent operational home for my own agency.
What makes COhatch essential to the Scioto Title experience isn't just the warm, welcoming environment—it’s the flexibility and the people:
- Seamless Central Ohio Closing Network: Real estate transactions should be convenient for the people signing the papers. Through the COhatch network, we regularly host closings at locations across the region—including Westerville, Easton, Polaris, Powell, Bexley, Upper Arlington, Dublin, and Worthington—ensuring top-tier tech, secure Wi-Fi, and professional conference spaces wherever our clients need us.
- A Built-in Community: Over the years, fellow members have become trusted referral partners, collaborators, and clients. As Stephen Harless, Mortgage Lender at First Federal, shared in the piece:
"Jon is one of my most trusted business partners because he always puts the client first. We met when he stopped what he was doing to help me avoid making a costly mistake on a transaction. That’s the kind of person Jon is."
Experience and Protection Behind Every Closing
For most buyers and sellers, a title company is someone you interact with only a few times in your life. But because buying or selling property involves your most significant financial investments, those few interactions need to be handled with meticulous care.
As an independent title and escrow agency, Scioto Title serves residential and commercial clients, real estate agents, lenders, investors, builders, and developers across Central Ohio.
What We Do Behind the Scenes:
- Thorough Title Examination: We research public records to identify and resolve mortgages, liens, or ownership issues before property changes hands.
- Escrow & Settlement Services: We serve as a neutral third-party intermediary, securely handling funds, documentation, and coordination between all parties.
- Unmatched Financial Backing: We issue Owner’s and Lender’s Policies of Title Insurance backed by the nation’s premier underwriters, including Chicago Title, First American, Stewart Title, Westcor, and WFG National Title.
Let’s Work Together
Whether you are purchasing your first home, selling a commercial building, or looking for a title partner who puts your clients first, Scioto Title is here to guide you across the finish line.
