Whether you're buying a new home for yourself and your family or investing in commercial real estate, it takes an entire team of professionals to make all the necessary arrangements for closing. Hiring the right team is the key to a smooth transaction, and it always helps when you know exactly who you're dealing with! First National Title is proud to be Arkansas' largest independent title company, and we have 26 locations to serve you throughout The Natural State. You can always count on the personal touch at FNT, and you'll work directly with experienced, customer-focused agents in or near your community from contract to closing!
Contact us as soon as your property is under contract, and our escrow and title professionals will get right to work. Before a property can be sold, the seller must first be able to demonstrate that clear, unencumbered ownership can be conveyed. The most common encumbrance our clients encounter is a lien on the title due to outstanding debts; it's the seller's responsibility to resolve those debts before the sale can proceed. Occasionally, there might be more serious problems, such as fraud or forgery, or even previously unknown heirs with a legitimate property claim if a previous owner died without a will! Our escrow professionals and title agents will leave no stone unturned to ensure that the property's title is clean and unencumbered so that the closing can proceed as scheduled.
Once the closing is complete and ownership has been transferred, our final step will be to issue you an owner's title insurance policy from a highly rated insurer. We 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. The premium is paid at closing, and your policy will remain in effect for as long as you own the home. Your policy protects you from being forced to pay most legal fees out of pocket in the unlikely event of a future title dispute.
Our team has hundreds of years of combined experience, and you can always count on prompt, professional, and accurate service! If you have any questions, contact us online or at any of our 26 Arkansas locations listed below.
