A title company is one of the most critical (and overlooked) players in any real estate deal. Here’s what they do:
- Title Search: Confirms the seller actually owns the property and checks for liens, judgments, or disputes.
- Title Insurance: Protects buyers and lenders against undiscovered title issues.
- Escrow Services: Manages the transfer of funds and documents at closing.
- Closing Coordination: Prepares and records final documents, disburses payments, and handles legal filings.
Using a reputable title company gives both buyer and seller peace of mind — and reduces the risk of surprises after closing.
