Most home buyers and real estate investors spend up to three months looking for the right property and view an average of eight or more homes before making an official offer. Once the offer is accepted, a team of professionals will assemble to conduct the necessary inspections, title research, and legal filings to prepare for closing. With so much at stake, it's absolutely crucial to hire professionals who have your best interests in mind. First National Title (FNT) has a dedicated team of nearly 200 experienced title and closing professionals who are ready to serve you, and you'll always be able to work directly with local agents in or near your community!
We're proud to be Arkansas' largest independent title and closing company, and we operate 26 convenient locations throughout The Natural State. Contact us as soon as your property is under contract, and we'll work diligently to ensure that you enjoy the smoothest possible experience from contract to closing. Before a home or land tract can change hands, the owner must first be able to successfully convey clear, unencumbered ownership. If the owner is delinquent on taxes, child support, HOA dues, or other debts, his or her creditors may have liens in place that must be cleared before the property can be sold. And if a previous owner died without leaving a will, there might also be previously unknown heirs with a legitimate property claim.
Once the title search is completed and our agents have verified that the property title can be conveyed as clear, clean, and unencumbered, you'll be ready to proceed to closing. Once the closing has been consummated, our final step will be to issue you an owner's title insurance policy to protect your new home investment. We proudly offer 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 protects you in the unlikely event of a future title dispute and will remain in effect for as long as you own your home.
