About Avenue to Close
Avenue to Close is a privately owned real estate settlement company headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, founded in 2011 by Chief Title Agent Ben Perrin. Built on the belief that closings should be precise, predictable, and professionally managed, Avenue to Close was created to raise the standard of real estate settlement services.
Today, Avenue to Close partners with prestigious lenders, developers, real estate professionals, and home buyers throughout Pennsylvania, and is licensed to operate in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Florida. Our team conducts and coordinates each closing with the same disciplined approach—ensuring every transaction is handled with clarity, efficiency, and confidence.
We are not a high-volume, transactional title company.
We are a boutique firm built for clients who value precision, communication, and consistency.

INDUSTRY AWARDS
Founded on Expertise
Ben Perrin founded Avenue to Close after recognizing a recurring issue in the industry: too much uncertainty, too much reaction, and too little structure. As Chief Title Agent, Ben designed the process that defines Avenue today—one that prioritizes proactive communication, meticulous preparation, and complete transparency at every stage of a transaction.
