Title companies play a very important role in a real estate transaction. From the very beginning, a title company works with the many parties involved in a transaction, including both the buyers and sellers, lenders, real estate agents, home inspectors, home appraisers, surveyors, and more!
Working in the best interest of all parties, the purpose of a title company is to establish accurate ownership of the property by investigating the lien history, determining usability, verifying the accuracy of closing documents, and to facilitate the steps needed to convey clear title to the property between parties.
