The Team of title and closing professionals at First National Title (FNT) are always ready, willing and able to provide you with all of your real estate title and closing needs throughout The Natural State!
We’re proud to be Arkansas’ largest title company, and we operate independently of ownership by any real estate agency or financial institution. Our team of professionals has the experience and expertise to help you consummate your land transaction, and we’ll make sure you’re fully prepared and that you understand all of the documents you’ll be expected to sign. We have 25 locations to serve you throughout the State, and you’ll be able to work face-to-face with a dedicated local agent in or near your community.
Once your offer is accepted and your property is under contract, the first step FNT takes is to ensure that the land title is unencumbered and the owner is in a clear position to sell the property. The most common type of title encumbrances include liens from creditors if a property owner gets overextended. Those debts must be satisfied before the property can change ownership. Occasionally, there will be more serious problems, such as fraud, forgery, or even previously unknown heirs with a legitimate claim on the property.
Once our title search is complete and we’ve confirmed that the title is free from encumbrances, FNT will proceed to closing the real estate transaction and take care of all the accounting, recording disbursement needs. Once these steps are complete, we will issue you a title insurance policy that will be effective for as long as you own the property. Your title insurance policy protects your investment in the unlikely event of a future title dispute.
We proudly offer title insurance products through 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. You’ll be able to head to closing with confidence and enjoy true peace of mind with each new land investment!
