We’re here to keep your property closing on schedule!

Every property has its own unique history, and it’s essential to learn as much as possible when shopping for a new home or investment property. Most prospective buyers look at eight or more properties before making an offer, and you owe it to yourself to leave no stone unturned in your search. And once you’ve found the right property, First National Title (FNT) is ready to ensure that your closing is smooth and hassle-free!

We’re proud to be Arkansas’ largest independent title and closing company, and you’ll always be able to work with an experienced agent in or near your community. Contact us as soon as your offer is accepted and the property is under contract, and let us put our experience to work for you! Before a property can be sold, the seller must be able to demonstrate the ability to convey clear and outright ownership, and we’ll perform a thorough title search to confirm that there are no encumbrances or liens against the property title.

Encumbrances are commonly known as “title clouds” because they cast shadows over the property closing process. The most common type of title clouds you’ll likely encounter are clerical errors or liens by creditors attempting to collect unpaid debts or legal judgments. There might also be previously unknown heirs with a legitimate property claim if a previous property owner died without leaving a will!

Once our title agents have completed the title search and are fully satisfied that title can properly be conveyed, and once the closing has been consummated with all recordings having taken place, and once all disbursement of funds have been completed, we’ll issue you an owner’s title insurance policy that will remain in effect for as long as you own your home. 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 we’ll find an insurer that best fits your needs. Your policy protects you in the unlikely event of a future title dispute, and you’ll enjoy true peace of mind after you close!
