Whether you’re purchasing farmland, planning on building your “forever home” from the ground up, or speculating, undeveloped land can be a great investment. After you find the right parcel and your offer is accepted, our team of title and closing professionals at First National Title (FNT) is ready to help you enjoy a smooth and hassle-free closing process!
We have 26 convenient Arkansas locations to serve you, and you’ll always be able to work directly with experienced professionals in or near your community. We operate independently of ownership from any real estate agency or financial institution and have the experience and expertise to help you close your transaction, even when difficult circumstances arise.
Before land can be sold, the owner must be able to convey clear and unencumbered property. If a property owner is delinquent on child support or property taxes or has any outstanding debts or legal judgments, his or her creditors might have placed liens on the property title that must be resolved before the property can change hands. Other encumbrances include clerical errors, which are usually relatively easy to resolve, and there might also be previously unknown heirs with a legitimate property claim if a previous owner died without leaving a will.
Contact us as soon as your offer is accepted, and our experienced agents will perform a thorough title search to ensure that the title is free from encumbrances. Once the closing has been completed, FNT will issue you an owner’s title insurance policy from a leading underwriter. We proudly offer title insurance products from top underwriters, including First American Title Insurance Company, Chicago Title Insurance Company, Commonwealth Land and Title Insurance Company, Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, and Old Republic National Title Insurance Company, and your policy will be effective for as long as you own the land. You’ll be able to proceed to closing confidently, and your policy protects you in the unlikely event of a future title dispute.
