Shopping for a new home or investment property can be a lengthy process, and once your offer is accepted, your focus will turn to closing. It takes an entire team of professionals to perform the necessary inspections, title research, and legal filings, and hiring the right team makes a huge difference! First National Title (FNT) has a team of nearly 200 experienced title professionals ready to serve you, and we'll do everything possible to make sure you enjoy the smoothest possible experience from contract to closing.
We're proud to be Arkansas' largest independent title and closing company, and you'll be able to work directly with local agents in or near your community. Contact us as soon as your property is under contract, and let us put our experience to work for you!
Before a home or land tract can be sold, the owner must first demonstrate that they can convey clear and unencumbered ownership. The most common encumbrance you're likely to encounter is a creditor's lien if an owner becomes financially overextended; those debts must be satisfied before the property can change hands. Occasionally, there are more serious problems, such as fraud or forgery, and if a previous owner died without leaving a will, there may also be previously unknown heirs with a legitimate property claim.
Once the title search is completed and our title agents have verified that the property title can be conveyed as clear clean and unencumbered, and once our closing agents have consummated the closing, we will issue an owner's title insurance policy that will be effective for as long as you own your home. 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.
Title insurance helps you enjoy true peace of mind as you proceed with your home or land investment, and you can always count on the personal touch when you work with our team at FNT!
