In August 2025, I purchased and closed on a home in Portsmouth, NH. Monarch Title Services, LLC, in Bedford, NH, ("Monarch") managed the transaction. This is the fourth home I have purchased and, having worked with multiple attorneys and title companies in the past, I could not have been more disappointed with Monarch's service.
To start, the Monarch processor/paralegal contacted me from an email address that looked like a spam message -- as it gave only the individual's first name and no indication they were from Monarch - and they neglected to include my realty team on the correspondence.
Throughout my interaction with Monarch, their behavior was careless and unprofessional, including repeatedly forgetting to include referenced attachments on emails. For example, I have a trust and submitted the trust documents to the Monarch attorney for their review, but Monarch never responded; if I had not contacted them to confirm the documents were acceptable, I doubt I would have ever heard back. In addition, I emailed the Monarch processor/paralegal requesting the timeline to transfer funds for the closing, and again I never received a response. Only after I contacted a supervisor at Monarch did anyone from Monarch respond, and even then, they failed to give me the information I needed. In fact, due to Monarch's failure, I had to scramble and get an additional check from the bank on the day of closing. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise against using Monarch Title Services LLC for any realty transaction. read more
