These relationships provide people relocating to Tulsa the advantage of dealing with a company with a proven track record. With the current trend toward national lenders and buyers finding properties and mortgage companies over the Internet, orders come into Guaranty's office daily that were originated out of state. This is true of both residential and commercial orders.

Guaranty understands what it takes to get the job done and has proven itself capable of meeting the needs of the real estate market with an expert staff and convenient locations including Downtown Tulsa, South Tulsa and Owasso. The company prides itself on meeting clients' needs efficiently and expertly with the objective to be a pleasant experience for all involved.

The most unique thing Guaranty can offer is their service. That's important to their clients. Guaranty prides themselves on getting people in and out of the closing as quickly as possible.

With the current trend away from lenders and real estate agents closing in-house, more companies are entering the closing arena. However, as with any new trend, there are varying degrees of service that can be offered. Guaranty Abstract Company can provide complete title services from updating/preparing abstracts, obtaining title opinions, issuing title insurance and closing services. They have four attorneys on staff, a commercial closing department with three commercial closers in the corporate office, which is the location of the abstract plant, and related departments. They also have two closing offices that handle primarily residential closings. The South closing office is located at 7060 5. Yale, Suite 500, and the North closing office is at 9106 North Garnett in Owasso.

Real estate closings require specific steps, culminating at the time parties come to the closing table. That's why Guaranty Abstract Company has excellent attorneys, the best closers and the best management team. It must come together at the closing. No matter how skilled everyone is, if one person or department along the way doesn't do the job, whether it's the abstractor, attorney or closer, then it's a failure. They understand that and work to make sure failure is not an option. Every title company would love to see all of the documents before closing that satisfy title requirements; however, there are going to be times when documents are delivered at closing, and the title company must be staffed, professionally and legally, to accept or decline those documents. Their employees are Guaranty's greatest assets.

Guaranty Abstract Company is seeing a more sophisticated buyer every day. People want their investment protected, but don't always understand that the lender's title insurance does not protect the homeowner or understand the difference in an owner's and lender's policy; however, they want to be protected in the same way. Guaranty explains this at the closing table and suggests that buyers obtain owner's title insurance.

Confidentiality is extremely important as well. With closings out of the lender's domain, people want to be assured that news of their "business" isn't leaked before the deal is completed. Guaranty's integrity and reliability is paramount. The confidentiality aspect of their business is something Guaranty takes very seriously.
