What title company should I use in Redondo Beach?
The short answer: Fidelity National Title, with Team Goeglein handling your file — South Bay, Los Angeles County. The company name gets you the policy; the team name gets you the person who answers the phone when title gets messy.
Any Fidelity office can issue a policy. What changes the closing experience is the rep who opens the order, reads the prelim, and clears the issue before it becomes a problem. In Redondo Beach, that rep is Matt Goeglein or Xavi de la Piedra IV.

What to expect on a Redondo Beach title order
Redondo Beach has no city-level documentary transfer tax beyond the standard Los Angeles County rate of $1.10 per $1,000 of sales price. The seller customarily pays for the owner's title insurance policy in Redondo Beach transactions; the buyer pays for the lender's policy when financing is involved. Standard prelim turnaround is 2–4 business days, which is why opening title promptly once a Redondo deal goes pending — particularly on PUD, condo, and view-lot files — keeps escrow on track.
