What is Title Insurance?
What is Title Insurance?
May 22nd, 2018
If you never have purchased a home, you might not be familiar with title insurance. Title insurance protects both home owners and lenders against loss or damage occurring from liens, encumbrances, defects in the title, or actual ownership of a property. Unlike traditional insurance, which protects against future occurrences, title insurance protects claims from past occurrences of record that are unknown to you. The two types of title insurance are lender's title insurance and owner's title insurance.
Lender title insurance policies protect the mortgage lender after the lender forecloses on your property. The lender's title insurance policy only protects the lender if a title or ownership problem arises after the property is foreclosed, therefore, it doesn't help you. A lender's title insurance policy is issued for the amount of the mortgage, and the coverage decreases as you pay down your loan. The lender's title insurance policy ends when you pay off your mortgage. If you borrow money to buy your home or property, your lender is most likely will require you to purchase a lender's title insurance policy.
Owner's title insurance polices protect the home owner for loss up to the full price of their home and legal costs defending your title if a title or ownership issue arises after they buy their home. This type of title insurance policy is issued for the amount the home owner paid for their home, and will cover the home owner as long as they own an interest in the property. The home owner is not required to purchase an owner's title insurance policy, but it is strongly recommended. It offers protection from any encumbrances on the property title that may have been missed after your property closing.

Role of a Title Company
Role of a Title Company
May 15th, 2018
Title companies have several roles in a common real estate transaction. Title companies generally act as the agent of the title insurance company and represent mortgage lenders, if any, in relation to a real estate transaction. Title companies review titles, issue title insurance policies, facilitate closings, and files and records paperwork.
Title companies have real estate title search and review departments. These departments review public records, in order to determine the status and condition of the title to the subject property. Title companies can also provide title search information involving the real estate property, upon request.
Title companies facilitate real estate transactions. This means the title company is an agent to all parties involved in the real estate transaction. The title company coordinates obtaining signatures for all the closing documents, and the title company receives and distributes payments related to the real estate property transaction. After all parties sign the documents, the title company will record these documents that need to be recorded in the local parish land records office.

What are Closing Costs?
What are Closing Costs?
May 7th, 2018
Everyone who has bought or sold a property in real estate has had to pay closing costs. Closing costs are expenses and costs over and above the purchase price of a property in a real estate transaction. Costs that may incur include loan origination fees, points, appraisal fees, title searches, title insurance, taxes, recording fees, realtor fees, home warranties, HOA dues, etc. These costs may be paid when the title is transferred from the seller to the buyer. The total dollar amount for title insurance usually depends on where the property is being sold, and the value of the property being transferred. Closing costs may be paid by either the seller, buyer, or both.

Selling Your Home Without an Agent
Selling Your Home Without an Agent
March 16th, 2018
So you are ready to start a new life adventure, and need to sell your home or property. Many homeowners think the only ways to market their property is to do it themselves or hire a real estate agent. The reality is that there's another strategy in getting their home sold without consuming their limited time and resources to list it themselves or paying out a realtor commission. Have you heard of this strategy?
There is a world of real estate investors out there that are always looking for properties to purchase. They are either looking for properties to rehab and put back on the market, or they are looking for rental properties to generate passive income. Your home or property might just be the one they are looking for in their next investment.
Many of these investors are looking to purchase homes with cash, which can bring your property to the closing table faster then traditional bank financing. You might be looking to move into your new property as quickly as possible, and can't wait 30 to 45 days to get your money for your agreed upon sale.
