First National Title was founded in 1997 by Jim Pender, an attorney in Little Rock, Arkansas, and a native of the State of Arkansas who wanted to assemble a complete team of experts who could provide professional and efficient service customized to our clients’ needs. This team has subsequently grown to 200 professionals, and FNT takes great pride in being Arkansas’ largest independent title company. But we’ll never be too big to give you anything less than our undivided attention!
Whether you’re purchasing a new home for yourself and your family or investing in land or commercial real estate, we’ll ensure that you’re prepared for a smooth closing from start to finish. We operate independently of ownership from financial institutions and real estate companies, and every decision we make is based upon professional experience to complete the process correctly and efficiently. You’ll get to work with an experienced agent in or near your community, and you’re free to ask as many questions as you like. Contact us as soon as your offer is accepted and the property is under contract, and let us put our expertise to work for you!
The first part of consummating a real estate transaction is ensuring the property title is unencumbered and the owner is in a clear position to sell the property. If the owner is delinquent on taxes, HOA dues, or child support, creditors can place liens against the property title that must be cleared up before the property can change ownership. There could also be other issues, such as misfiled paperwork or even previously unknown heirs with a legitimate claim on the property.
Our researchers will leave no stone unturned to ensure that the title is unencumbered, and we will issue you an owner’s title insurance policy that will be effective for as long as you own the property. We proudly offer title insurance products through 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. In the unlikely event of a title dispute in the future, your policy protects you so that you can have ownership with peace of mind!
