Buyer Tip #7

•7)     Use an independent title company to do your closing.  The buyer is allowed to choose their title company.  The captive title companies (known as affiliated business arrangements) which are tied to the real estate or mortgage company are often not as competitively priced as outside vendors.  When have you or someone you know ever directed the selection of the closing/title company?  If you are like 99% of the people, the answer is never.  Yet, this one simple recommendation could save you hundreds of dollars.
