Two things.....
Is this a transaction that falls under RESPA guidelines? If it is a cash deal, RESPA doesn't apply.
If the transaction does fall under RESPA guidelines, the seller may require use if they are paying for the title insurance. Many REO transactions contain this provision because the seller doesn't want another title company finding a problem that will delay the sale. In these cases, I believe the buyer is better served by hiring their own title insurer who will review the title without predjudice.
