There are many great reasons to invest in land, which can be an excellent "hands-off" investment with numerous long-term possibilities. Whether you're planning to develop the land yourself or purchase it for future resale, it's important to hire the right team of professionals to help you keep the closing process on schedule. First National Title (FNT) has 26 convenient locations to serve you throughout The Natural State, and we're ready to help you enjoy a smooth, hassle-free experience from contract to closing!
We're proud to be Arkansas' largest independent title company, and we operate independently of ownership by real estate agencies or financial institutions. You'll be able to work directly with an agent in or near your community, and you can always count on the personal touch! Contact us as soon as your offer is accepted and the land is under contract, and we'll begin with a thorough title search to identify and address any potential issues that could delay your closing.
Before homes, land, or commercial properties can be sold, the owner must be able to convey a clear, unencumbered title. If the seller is delinquent on taxes, HOA dues, or child support payments, his or her creditors may have filed liens against the property title until those debts are resolved. And if a former owner died without leaving a will, there could even be previously unknown heirs with a legitimate property claim!
Once our title agents have completed the title search and our closing agents have finalized the transaction, our final step will be to 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 property. Your policy protects you from being forced to pay most legal fees out of pocket in the unlikely event of a future title dispute, and you'll be able to enjoy true peace of mind as you proceed with your land transaction!
