What Is Title Insurance?

It feels good knowing both you and your home are protected with title insurance. 

What is title insurance? You may know that it protects your ownership, but what does that really mean, and how does that benefit you? Keep reading on as we get to the bottom of these questions. 

The function of title insurance is to protect your property ownership. What many do not understand about title insurance is that it is a fundamental part of homeownership that can save you thousands (even hundreds of thousands) of dollars in the long run. For example, you are required to have a clear title if you would like to sell your home in the future and get a return on your investment. Another example is that, without title insurance, it may be hard to decipher whether you truly own your title (surging title fraud has made this problem even more difficult). If you don't, you technically do not have any legal rights to your property. This makes you susceptible to blindsiding property loss at any given moment, which will ultimately result in some serious financial fallout. 

Without title ownership that has no strings attached -- this means no debt, no bankruptcy, no liens -- you are stuck in a constant cycle of what-ifs.

Look Out for These Obstacles When Buying a Home

  The housing market is hot right now, there’s no question about that!
