During her fifteen year career with the FBI, Bridgett Maynard-Dennis learned the importance of having high expectations of herself, being 100% accurate all of the time, and being ready to go anytime, anywhere. Although the work was very rewarding, the demanding lifestyle left Bridgett feeling torn between her dedication to her job and her responsibilities to her two young children. Seeking a career that would provide a better balance between work and family, Bridgett accepted a position with a title and escrow company where she became a licensed Title Agent. In 2007, she coupled her title experience with her people skills and her penchant for accuracy to found Maynard &Dennis Title with her husband, Ken, and her son, Jeff. We met with Bridgett recently, and listened as she provided this overview of Maynard &Dennis Title's services;

Maynard & Dennis Title is a family-owned and operated title and escrow company. Specializing in refinance, residential, commercial, land contracts, HUD/REO property transfers, investors, For Sale by Owner, and 1031 exchanges, we provide full closing and settlement services throughout all 88 Ohio counties. Outstanding customer service has always been our hallmark, and we strive to ensure your real estate transaction is the enjoyable event it should be.

Our goal is to protect property buyers and lenders from problems that might affect title ownership. We review the records on file at the County Recorder's office to determine if the property is free from encumbrances such as mortgages, liens, and past due taxes. We then issue new titles showing that everything has been taken care of properly and our escrow service coordinates the details of the closing with the Realtors, lenders, buyer, and the seller. From making sure the title is clean to transferring the title and delivering the appropriate fees properly, we handle all the final details in the transference of real property.

Ohio is a dower state, meaning that each spouse has a 50% interest in any real estate property owned by the other spouse regardless of whether their name is on the title or not. In the case of properties transferred per a divorce agreement, we make sure that the parties have settled equity and each has been paid properly. Ohio also supports child support liens. If court ordered child support has not been paid in full, the property in question may very well have a child support lien that must be settled before the title is transferred. Our examiners review the property's records for the past 42 years for purchases and 10 years and 2 owners back for refinances to make sure each title is free and clear.

Client service and satisfaction are the underpinnings of our business. Our reputation has been built on honesty, integrity, and professionalism. Every transaction receives the expertise and personal attention of an owner each step of the way. My closers know that I am always available by telephone to speak with clients, answer their questions, and help them understand each process of their transaction. We offer complete flexibility in scheduling meetings with our customers. We work on their schedule and will meet them anywhere, anytime, their home, their workplace, after hours, weekends, and even holidays at no extra charge.

I grew up in Avon Lake and felt it was important to bring my children back here to attend our excellent schools and learn about the strong family values that make Avon Lake a wonderful place to live. As a company, we support these same values and are proud to be part of the local business community.
