If you have a complicated real estate transaction, FNT is where you want to close!

When you enter into a real estate contract to purchase or sell real estate, it is everyone’s hope that the closing is relatively straightforward and uneventful. This only happens if you hire the right professionals to provide the necessary organization, communication, title research, and legal filings to consummate the sale. Sometimes, even then, things don’t always go according to plan, and when that happens, it takes an experienced and dedicated team to complete the purchase and sale!

First National Title (FNT) is proud to be Arkansas’ largest independent title and closing company, and we have 26 convenient locations to serve you throughout The Natural State. Our team has hundreds of years of combined experience, and we’re ready to put that experience to work for you! You’ll be able to work directly with local agents in or near your community, and we’ll endeavor to do everything we can to make sure that your closing is a smooth experience with no surprises.

Before a commercial property, home, or land tract can be sold, the owner must be able to demonstrate unencumbered ownership. Our seasoned title agents will perform a detailed title search to confirm that there are no liens or encumbrances and that the owner is in a clear position to sell the property. The most common encumbrances you’re likely to encounter are liens by creditors if an owner becomes financially overextended, and occasionally, there are more serious problems, such as fraud, forgery, or even previously unknown heirs who might have a legitimate claim on the property. Additionally, our Closing Agents will be working and organizing the way through a myriad of tasks that are necessary to properly and legally consummate the purchase and sale.

Once the title search is completed and our title agents confirm the property title is unencumbered, and once the closing has been completed and all properly disbursed and all documents have been properly recorded, we will then write an owner’s title insurance policy to protect your new real estate investment. FNT proudly offers title insurance products through the nation’s most 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. Your title insurance policy will be effective for as long as you own your real estate and protects you in the unlikely event of a future title dispute. Title insurance helps you enjoy true peace of mind as you proceed with your home or land investment!
