29 Jul What is a Title Search?

Posted at 21:20h in News by

Before any real estate transaction can close, it’s important to confirm that the property’s title is clear.

A title search reviews public records to verify ownership and uncover potential issues that could impact the transaction, such as liens, judgments, ownership disputes, or filing errors. It also establishes the property’s chain of title, helping ensure that ownership has been properly transferred over time.

Identifying and resolving these issues before closing helps protect buyers, sellers, lenders, and everyone involved in the transaction.

    • It also verifies the chain of ownership over time (chain of title).

    Why It Matters

    Issues must be resolved before closing.
