If you are in need of a Title Company in Boise, give Stewart Title a try. Josh Stafford is a stellar escrow officer and Kim a sweet, wonderful marketer for Stewart. We have closed many transactions at Stewart of Boise over the course of the years we have been in Real Estate. They do a great job. Josh also is very experienced in closing short sales as well.
