She has a reputation for solving title insurance problems, so that a transaction can go through and not get stopped.

It is a crucial part of making business happen in the commercial real estate world.”

Ms. Eyrich’s areas of practice include: real estate transactions, including negotiation of purchase agreements, leases and servitudes/easements; review and preparation of sale, loan and lease transaction documents; title examination and underwriting of title insurance commitments, policies and endorsements, including multi-site transactions involving national title insurance companies’ national business unit clients.
