Title insurance protects property buyers and lenders by verifying ownership records and identifying potential risks that could impact a real estate transaction. It ensures clear ownership and safeguards against hidden liens, claims, and legal disputes.

Through detailed title searches and comprehensive coverage, title insurance helps prevent costly issues before and after closing. This protection provides long-term security, allowing real estate transactions to proceed with confidence, accuracy, and peace of mind.

FAQ

What is title insurance?

Title insurance acts as a safeguard for homeowners, protecting them from unexpected property issues that may surface later—such as ownership disputes, unpaid liens from past owners, or mistakes in public records.

Who pays title insurance?

Title insurance is usually paid by the buyer. However, for higher-priced homes or properties that have been on the market for a while, sellers may be open to covering it to help encourage a faster sale. In some local markets, sellers often pay for the owner’s policy while buyers cover the lender’s policy.

What are the types of title insurance?

Title insurance comes in two main forms based on who it protects: (1) an owner’s policy (available in standard or extended coverage) and (2) a lender’s policy. Most lenders require their own policy as part of approving your loan.

Who pays the transfer fee?

Realty Transfer Fee: Sellers are responsible for paying a 1% transfer fee on property sales. Buyers don’t pay this fee, except in cases where the purchase price is $1 million or more, then an additional 1% applies. More details on rates and possible exemptions can be found here.

How much does title insurance on a house cost?

The price of title insurance varies based on the type of policy, the home’s value, and your location. Most owner’s policies usually run between 0.5% and 1% of the purchase price, which typically comes out to about $1,000 to $4,000.
