Where Have All The Title Companies Gone?

By
Real Estate Agent with Real Estate Masters

Have you ever given any thought to what can happen when a title company closes?

It can create a nightmare for both a buyer and a seller.  

A buyer's title insurance premium may not have been paid or a seller's mortgage may not have been satisfied.  Or what about the rest of the charges on the HUD?

Can you just imagine a seller getting a past due notice on a loan that they thought had been paid off.  Or a seller discovering title problems just before closing and then discovering they hadn't been insured?  I recently heard of both of these situations.  

We need to really consider how to protect our clients in this changing real estate market.

The best advise that I have been given is to use a company that has been in business a long time and that has strong financial backing.
