Buying land? We’re here to help you protect your investment!

Whether real estate is a good investment depends on your individual circumstances, financial goals, and risk tolerance. Real estate can be a good investment, but it’s not a guaranteed path to riches. Carefully consider your personal circumstances, financial goals, and risk tolerance before investing. If you do decide to invest in real estate, whether you’re interested in investment property or buying property that will one day be the site of your “forever home,” First National Title (FNT) is here to help. And our pledge is to do everything we can to ensure that your transaction runs smoothly and remains on schedule.

We’re proud to be Arkansas’ largest independent title company, with 26 convenient locations to serve you throughout the Natural State. Our customer-focused team of professionals has the experience and expertise to help you consummate your land transaction, and you’ll be able to work directly with an agent in or near your community. Most importantly, we operate independently of ownership from any real estate agency or financial institution, and every decision we make is designed to conduct a smooth on-time closing.

Before a land transaction can proceed, the seller must be able to demonstrate clear title or ownership. Part of the responsibility of the Seller is the ability to convey property that is free from encumbrances. The most common encumbrances you’ll likely encounter are liens on the property title if the owner has outstanding debts or legal judgments, and those obligations must be fully resolved before ownership can be transferred. Additional encumbrances could involve other problems such as a previous owner dying without leaving a will, in this instance there could be unknown heirs with a legitimate property claim.

Contact us as soon as your offer is accepted and the land is under contract, and we’ll perform a thorough title search. Once our title agents complete their thorough title search, and our closing agents successfully complete the closing, we will issue you an owner’s title insurance policy. We proudly offer title insurance products from highly rated 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. Title insurance protects you from being in the unlikely event of a title dispute, protecting you and your land investment!
