Whether it’s your first home or your last home, buying a new home is a big move,. Most people only buy a new home 3-5 times over their lifetime, and it’s one of the most detailed processes that they’ll ever go through. That’s why it’s so important to partner with the right professionals to make sure that the process goes smoothly from the time that the offer is accepted, all the way up to closing.
We can all agree that e-mail and the internet are some of the greatest inventions of our time. We use them every day for business, entertainment, and up to the minute news updates. Unfortunately, they are also great tools for criminals to target victims throughout the world. Whether it’s damaging computers with viruses or stealing personal information, there are millions of people that are up to no good. That’s why it’s so important to always be vigilant. Most of the perpetrators are overseas, and their victims rarely recover their financial losses.

Investing in a home is a large financial obligation that isn’t limited to the agreed on sale price. Additional costs often include lender fees, appraisal fees, the cost of a home inspection, and usually a realtor’s commission. All of those expenses add up quickly, but one additional expense that is a must for your protection is the cost of an owner’s policy of title insurance.
There’s nothing like the thrill that comes from finding the perfect home and having your offer accepted! Most home buyers look at a lot of homes before they make their final decision, which is one of the most important decisions that they will ever make. You also owe it to yourself to make an informed decision when selecting a title company to help you make the necessary preparations for closing.
