Buyer Resources
What is Title Insurance?
Title insurance protects buyers and lenders against financial loss from defects in a title to a property. It covers issues such as liens, encumbrances, or defects that may have been unknown at the time of purchase.
The Closing Process
Closing is the final step in the home-buying process. Our team will guide you through every document, ensure all funds are properly disbursed, and make sure your title is recorded correctly.
What to Bring to Closing
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, a certified or cashier's check for closing costs (if applicable), proof of homeowner's insurance, and any documents requested by your lender.
Seller Resources
Understanding the Title Search
A title search examines public records to confirm the seller's right to transfer ownership and to discover any claims or liens on the property.
Seller's Closing Costs
Sellers typically pay for the owner's title insurance policy, real estate agent commissions, and any outstanding liens or judgments against the property.
