No matter how many times that you have bought and sold a home or an investment property, without a service oriented and professional title company like First National Title Company, the process can be a challenge. The property has to be inspected, financing (if applicable) has to be secured, and numerous documents and legal filings have to be executed. That’s why it’s so important to find the right professionals to guide you through the process.

Make sure that you understand every document that you’ll be expected to sign-Don’t be embarrassed to ask as many questions as you want. Your realtor, lender, and title professionals work for you, and you’re not inconveniencing them by asking them to explain documents. It’s their job.
Bring a cashier’s check drawn on a local bank to closing-Even though an increasing amount of business is transacted online, do you really want to take a chance with an online lender? A cashier’s check drawn from a local bank will be the best way to make your down payment and/or pay closing costs. It will also reduce your exposure to wire fraud, which is on the rise.
