Understanding Real Estate: What Does A Title Company Do?

Title companies play an essential role in the home buying process.  Before you close on your new home, it is important to know:

• The seller actually owns the home and has legal rights to sell it
• The property is free from any title issues

Some of this information is available in the public records but for the most accurate information of a title policy needs to be ordered.  After selecting your title company they will place an order for the commitment and run a title search.  It is okay to shop around when choosing a title company.  Although the fees are very close, there are slight fluctuations from company to company.  Finding the right one for you is as easy as starting with the suggestions given by the  KW Selling Team :
