Title company, real estate agents, sellers and home-buyers share a common goal: a smooth and timely closing.
Once upon a time, in Fort Myers, Florida where dream homes were waiting to be discovered, there lived many hopeful home-buyers and diligent real estate agents. After months of searching, a dream home was found, the sale price was agreed upon, the terms were set, and the offer was accepted. It was a moment of triumph, yet it marked the beginning of a crucial phase that both agents and home-buyers anticipated with a mix of excitement and trepidation: the journey to a smooth and timely closing.
The weeks leading up to the closing were often fraught with stress and anxiety. Real estate agent Sarah knew this all too well. “My last closing was a nightmare due to issues with the buyer’s lender, without the expertise of our title company team, we may never have closed at all.”
Meanwhile, a first-time home-buyer, Emily shared her feelings about the process. “The weeks before closing was both exciting and scary. Our title company was there to answer all our questions, and they were so patient and friendly.”
The central task of the title company is to dive into the muddle of public records, ensuring that the home’s title was free of any defects or issues. They meticulously checked for liens, unpaid taxes, and unknown heirs who might claim an interest in the property. Resolving such issues was crucial to completing the transaction.
But beyond their technical duties, the title company prided itself on the human side of the business. Integrity, approach-ability, and a friendly demeanor were qualities they believed every client deserved. An informal survey among agents and home-buyers revealed the attributes most valued in a title company:
- Professionalism – Expertise, honesty, and communication topped the list.
- Friendliness – A welcoming manner and approach-ability were highly recommended.
- Affordability – While many states regulated the fees charged by title companies, customers were pleasantly surprised by the reasonable fees.
- Customer Service – Flexibility, responsiveness, and assistance with the overwhelming paperwork were crucial.
Choosing a title company is typically the seller’s responsibility. However, since most sellers have limited knowledge about title work, they often rely on their real estate agent’s recommendation.
