Title Underwriters

Title underwriters are professionals who assess the risk associated with a property's title during a real estate transaction. They review public records and documents to ensure the property's title is clear of issues like liens, claims, or ownership disputes. Their goal is to confirm the seller has the legitimate right to sell the property and that there are no obstacles that could prevent a clear transfer of ownership. If the title is deemed clear, they provide insurance (title insurance) to protect the buyer and lender against future claims or hidden issues that might arise after the sale.
