Title and escrow, in plain terms
If this is your first time closing on a property, here's what each piece actually means.
Title insurance
A policy that protects you and your lender if a past ownership issue — an old lien, a boundary dispute, a forged signature — surfaces after closing. We research the property's history before you buy, so problems get caught early.
Escrow & closing
A neutral party holds funds and documents until every condition of the sale is met, then releases them and records the transaction. We act as that neutral party, coordinating with your agent, lender, and the other side of the deal.
What we handle
One office, one point of contact, for the pieces that get a sale to the closing table.
