Title Company

A title company is a firm that helps ensure the ownership of a property is clear and legally transferrable. When you buy or sell a home, the title company conducts a thorough search of public records to verify that the seller has the right to transfer ownership and that there are no outstanding claims or liens. They also prepare and issue title insurance to protect the buyer and lender from future disputes or financial loss related to property ownership. Essentially, the title company acts as a neutral party to facilitate a smooth, secure real estate transaction.
