Title insurance is a policy that protects you against potential issues with the title of a property you are buying or refinancing. It provides coverage for title defects, liens, and other unforeseen problems that could affect your property rights. Title insurance is essential to ensure that you have clear and marketable title to your property.
Escrow services involve a neutral third party (the escrow agent) holding funds and important documents on behalf of both the buyer and seller during a real estate transaction. The escrow agent ensures that all conditions of the transaction are met before releasing the funds and transferring ownership of the property.
A 1031 exchange, also known as a like-kind exchange, allows you to defer capital gains taxes when selling an investment property and acquiring another like-kind property. This tax-saving strategy can help you preserve your investment capital and potentially increase your return on investment.
A title search involves researching public records to identify the history of ownership and any encumbrances on a property. A title examination goes a step further, with a thorough review of the title history to ensure that it is clear and free of any issues that could affect your ownership rights.
