What filing storage does a title company or escrow office need?

Title companies and escrow offices handle some of the most legally significant documents in real estate transactions: purchase agreements, preliminary title reports, title insurance commitments and policies, settlement statements (HUD-1/ALTA), and escrow instructions. These documents must be retained for extended periods — typically 10 years or more after transaction closing, and some jurisdictions require permanent retention of certain records. A combination of active filing cabinets (for current transactions) and dedicated archive storage (for closed transactions) is standard. Legal-size filing capability is essential — most real estate documents are on legal paper. All client financial information requires locked storage. Given high document volume per transaction, many title companies use lateral filing cabinets rather than vertical for better capacity. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
