“SJ Carroll has been providing quality services to our company for over 36 years. Their staff is very knowledgeable and experienced and their customer service and attentiveness to our staff is second to none. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality research company”.
SJ Carroll is an indispensable and inexpensive resource to any title insurance company working in New York City. Their knowledge is unparalleled in the industry and their staff could not be more accommodating. If you plan on insuring title in New York, be sure to do so with SJ Carroll as your partner.
Two of my first friends in this business was S.J. (Jimmy) Carroll and his son, David. Since July, 1983, I have been using their services throughout the five boroughs of New York City. There has never been a time that S.J. Carroll, Jr., Inc. has disappointed me or the many client’s that I have sent to them for special services. Quite honestly, I can’t imagine navigating through the offices of the Tax Collector, Assessor, HPD, DEP, and the various municipal offices that provide us with the many departmental searches required as part of our title report, without the help and expertise provided by SJ Carroll, Jr., Inc. They are, far and away, the premier company providing such services. More important than their industrywide expertise, is their service. SJ Carroll’s staff provide services second to none! Each individual has proven time and again, when I’ve called them for help and understanding, answers which are provided quickly, and with clarity. I could not be happier with the association built between our companies, and with David and his staff. As I enter my second quarter century as Choice Abstract, I thank them for contributing to my success.
I have been a customer and fan of SJ Carroll for over 15 years. The data that SJ returns in its land records, tax and municipal searches is consistently accurate and reliably delivered. David and his team are industry veterans with deep and varied areas of expertise. Their willingness to share knowledge has made me a better and more successful title person.
They are efficient, and their customer service is exceptional.
I chose to work with the staff at SJ Carroll because they are knowledgeable and experienced. They provide research services in a rapid time frame. I highly recommend SJ Carroll.
The team at SJ Carroll has continuously provided expert service, knowledge and the personal commitment we rely on. Be it a simple answer or one that requires a conference call with the client- they are on point every time
SJ Carroll is our go to provider for all our tax and municipal searches in the boroughs. The combination of their expertise, professionalism, pricing, and timeliness is unsurpassed. Our staff completely trusts the entire SJ team to provide accurate searches. Additionally, the SJ Carroll team is always available to answer any questions we may have and to accommodate our turnaround time requests.

“I have known Dave & Frank for many years. SJ Carroll is very responsive in terms of timeliness for specific problems as well as the expertise needed to handle small and large issues. They are very responsive to the needs of their clients and aware of the issues facing the NY title insurance industry.”
“We’re in an industry where we have to be right. The product we put out has to contain correct information that we’re completely confident in. For decades, SJ Carroll has provided us with accurate information in a timely and professional manner. A title company has many options to choose from with Municipal searching companies. We choose SJ Carroll.”
"SJ's service and attention to detail are truly second to none. I know I can trust in them to provide the right answer. I highly recommend you contact this company for your research needs in the boroughs. You will not be disappointed!”
