Owner’s Policies
An owner’s policy protects buyers from “clouds” against the title, like liens, legal judgments or taxes. It also assures buyers that the owner owns the property and the right to sell. We search through public record, examining ownership chains and other issues that might affect whether title can be delivered to another future owner without complications. Our accuracy, thoroughness and speed provide you with peace-of-mind on your purchase.
Lender’s Policies
Lender’s policies, or Loan Policies, are typically based on the dollar amount of a loan. It protects lender’s interests in the property in the event of a problem with a title. We know how important it is to protect your investment, so we research titles thoroughly and efficiently.
Leasehold Policies
While tenants have traditionally overlooked the benefits of Leasehold Policies, this policy covers tenants who are prevented from using a property because of an uninsured title matter. If a tenant is evicted as a result of an uninsured title, a leasehold policy entitles the tenant to collect the value of the remaining lease.
Title Searches
Our accurate and thorough title searches verify the seller’s right to transfer ownerships and determine whether any claims, errors, assessments debts or other restrictions on the property exist. We are typically able to find and solve any problems without borrowers or lenders knowing there was ever an issue. Because we understand the importance of closing a sale, we pride ourselves on the efficiency and speed with which we conduct our title searches.
