Because land title insurance protects you from financial loss in the event that problems develop regarding the rights to ownership of your property, it is an essential part of any transaction. A title insurance policy also pays the cost of defending against any covered claim against your property.
That’s why finding an experienced, professional title insurance agent is so important. You’ll find a team of over 60 experienced escrow officers and title examiners in the title industry at First National Title Co., which was formed in 1997 and has since grown to five locations in Central and Northwest Arkansas.
Today’s global village of information is available with the click of your mouse, so it’s not surprising that more people are opting for do-it-yourself solutions for just about everything. We’re all for an educated consumer, but we want to caution you that in the case of performing a title search it is best to hire a professional title company.
While an “abstract of title” or “title search and exam” may sound foreign, it’s simply a summary of research activities conducted by an employee of a title agent determining ownership of a property gathered from searching public records. Buying or selling a home requires a search of the public records to properly determine ownership, and most rely on professionals like First National Title Company, the largest independent title agent in Arkansas.
