Founded by Patrick Burns and Andrew Weisgall, Spruce provides an insurance product that protects real estate purchasers and/or lenders against issues with the chain of title to their property.

The Owner’s Policy premium is based on the value of the home and the Lender’s Policy Premium is based on the loan amount.
