Hiring a title company is an important step in your buying or selling journey, as they know the laws and the paperwork that must be followed and can help you protect yourself and your investment if something unexpected turns up on the title search. Aside from the title search itself, a title insurance agency can also ensure that all parties stick to what is agreed upon and there are no breaches of contract during the process.

Essentially, the biggest reason to hire a title company as a buyer or seller is to protect yourself, your assets, and your home against costs you did not incur. Title searches find these problems before the sale of a home happens, and the costs of any legal fees to fix the problems are covered by title insurance.

As a rule of thumb, you should have title insurance for every sale or purchase of real estate or property. Title insurance costs are sometimes a deterrent to people getting the insurance they need, but encountering a title issue while uninsured would ultimately come at a much higher cost. Because of this, although owner’s title insurance is optional, we strongly recommend title insurance.
