Title Insurance

Even though many are unsure of what Title Insurance is, it is important when buying a home or piece of property.  Knowing a few key facts can save you hundreds of dollars at closing, and/or your real estate investment if problems should arise later.

Title Insurance protects in case there is a Title dispute. Title disputes are arguments over who legally has the right to the land.

Some common Title Insurance disputes come from:

• Undisclosed heirs
• American Indian tribal rights
• Contractor's liens
• Tax Liens
• Property boundaries

When you finance real estate, you will be required by the mortgage company to purchase Title Insurance at closing in the amount that you are borrowing to protect them.  Your home, property, any appreciation, or down payment, are not protected unless you get an Owner’s Title Policy also.

Title Insurance is a one-time premium insurance. You only pay for your Title Insurance at the closing of your new home. Title Insurance will then protect you from any claims against the Title of the property for as long as you own the home.

An Agent-Owner at AgentOwned Realty can help you get a Re-Issue Title Insurance Credit when closing on your new home which can save you up to 50% of your Title Insurance Premium.
