Services

Title Searches - We conduct thorough title searches to examine public records and verify the legal ownership of a property. This process ensures there are no outstanding liens, encumbrances, or claims that could affect the transfer of ownership.

 

Title Insurance - We provide title insurance policies to protect homeowners and lenders from potential legal issues related to property ownership, such as undisclosed heirs, forgery, or errors in public records.

 

Escrow Services - We act as a neutral third party to securely hold funds and important documents during real estate transactions, ensuring that all terms of the agreement are met before closing.

 

Real Estate Closings - We facilitate smooth closings for residential, commercial, and land transactions by preparing and reviewing all necessary legal documents, coordinating with all parties involved, and ensuring a seamless transfer of ownership.

 

Owner & Lender Title Policies - We issue both owner’s title policies (protecting buyers) and lender’s title policies (protecting mortgage lenders) to provide financial security in case of future ownership disputes or claims.

 

Property Research & Reports - We provide detailed property reports, including ownership history, tax status, and any recorded easements or restrictions, to assist buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals in making informed decisions.

 

Document Preparation & Recording - We prepare and record essential real estate documents, such as deeds, affidavits, and mortgage-related filings, ensuring they comply with local and state regulations.

 

1031 Exchange Assistance - For investors looking to defer capital gains taxes, we assist with the 1031 exchange process by coordinating necessary documentation and ensuring compliance with IRS guidelines.

 

For Sale By Owner (FSBO) Closings - We provide guidance and support for individuals selling their homes without a real estate agent, helping them navigate the closing process with confidence.

 

Title Curative Services - If title defects are found during a search, we work to resolve issues such as missing signatures, unreleased liens, or boundary disputes, ensuring a clear title before closing.

 

Notary Services - Our licensed notaries are available to witness and authenticate real estate documents, providing an added layer of security for transactions.
