WHY IT MATTERS
HOW YOU BENEFIT
TITLE
Title is your right to own or use your property. Title also establishes any limitation on those rights.

TITLE PROFESSIONAL

Your Title Professional has your back. They sweat the small stuff so you don’t have to, giving you peace of mind.
TITLE SEARCH
A title search is an early step in the home buying process to uncover issues that could limit your rights to the property.
Typically, if title issues are discovered your Title Professional works to take care of them without you even knowing.
The title search protects you from unknowingly inheriting a previous owner’s debts, legal obligations, or other title problems.
TITLE INSURANCE
There are two different types of title insurance: the Owner’s Policy and the Lender’s Policy. The Owner’s Title Insurance Policy is the best way to protect your property rights.The Lender’s Policy is typically paid for by the Buyer and the Owner’s Policy is paid for by the Seller.
Sometimes undiscoverable defects can come up after the title search. Title issues may include forgery, fraud, or clerical errors. Owner’s Title Insurance is the best way to protect your investment and your ownership of your property.
