After much delay and speculation, the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) released a directive letter in the fall of 1994 requiring all title insurers doing business with FNMA to have an acceptable rating from one of five approved, third-party rating bureaus. All FNMA loans closed after December 31, 1994, must be insured by a title insurance company with one or more of the following ratings from the services indicated:
Title Resources Guaranty Company has received the following ratings:
| LACE Financial Corporation 118 N. Court St. Frederick, MD 21701 (301) 662.1001 |
"A+" |
|---|
Both companies sell copyrighted books which contain the ratings and other information concerning the companies they have rated.
LACE says, "A LACE rating of 'A+', 'A', or 'B' indicates that a title insurance company has a strong overall financial condition that will allow it to meet its future claims. As a rule, these companies have good operating earnings, are well capitalized and have adequate reserves."
