Closing the loop on your real estate needs.
Cooperative Title, LLC and the Law Office of Raymond W. Smith, Esq. help close the loop on your real estate needs across the Charleston tri-county area.
A title company that treats closing like a handshake.
We are a boutique real estate closing law firm and independent title agency. Every closing is handled directly by our team — never outsourced, never rushed. We work in tandem with borrowers, buyers, sellers, lenders, and their real estate professionals to the same standard: clear, on-time, and human.
What we handle
Title and escrow closings for lenders, realtors, buyers, and sellers — big transactions and small, handled with the care a handshake deserves.
Residential Closings
Purchases, sales, and refinances handled end-to-end with clear, on-time settlement — including for-sale-by-owner transactions with no agent involved.
Commercial & Investor
Commercial transactions, bank- and government-owned acquisitions, builder representation, and relocation buyer/seller closings.
Title, Escrow & Insurance
Accurate title searches, escrow, notary services, and title insurance for lenders, realtors, and owners across South Carolina.
Preview the title before you commit.
Before you take a listing or open a loan file, send us the property address. We’ll review the current title status — open mortgages, liens, and obvious clouds — and follow up with you directly. A courtesy no title-template site can offer.
