What Is Title and Why Does It Matter?
In real estate, a “title” refers to your legal right to own and use a property. If there’s an issue with the title—like a lien, claim of ownership, easement, or boundary dispute—it can affect your ability to sell, finance, or use the property as planned. Title services ensure that the property you’re buying or selling is free and clear of hidden legal problems.

Frequently Asked Questions – Title Services
What is a title search and why is it important?
A title search is a detailed examination of public records to confirm a property's legal ownership and identify any liens, easements, or restrictions. It ensures there are no legal surprises that could affect your right to own or use the property.
What kinds of issues can show up during a title search?
Common title issues include unpaid liens, judgments, boundary disputes, easements, clerical errors in public records, unknown heirs, or prior undisclosed ownership claims. These can delay closings or put your investment at risk if not resolved properly.
Do I need title insurance if I already have a title search?
Yes. Even with a thorough search, some problems—like forged documents or missing heirs—may not appear in public records. Title insurance protects you from financial loss if one of these hidden issues surfaces after closing.
What is the difference between the buyer's and lender’s title insurance policies?
The lender’s policy protects the mortgage company’s interest in the property, while the buyer’s (owner’s) policy protects your personal ownership. We typically recommend both policies for full protection during a real estate transaction.
What happens if a title issue is discovered before closing?
We take swift legal action to clear the issue—whether that means paying off an old lien, correcting an error in the deed, or resolving a boundary dispute. Our goal is to keep your transaction on track and ensure a clean title before closing.
How long does a title search usually take?
In most cases, a title search takes a few days to a week, depending on the property's history and the county records. We work efficiently to avoid any delays in your closing timeline.
