NOTES FOR BUYERS AND SELLERS

Nearly every sale of a residential property involves the purchase of two policies of title insurance: an Owner’s policy and a Lender’s policy.

Notes for the Seller

The purchase of a home is one of the most expensive and important purchases most of us ever make. Your buyer will want to make sure that the property is indeed yours to sell and that there are no unknown liens, claims, or encumbrances held against the property. Your buyer likely was drawn to your property for its features and amenities. Enhancing these amenities with an Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance is just as important as the work you put in to maintaining and improving your property.

For the Buyer

For most of us buying buying a home requires help with financing. Your home loan is secured by the property you are buying and your lender will want to make sure that the security for their loan is protected by title insurance and that you are the owner of record.
