Insurance offers protection from life’s unexpected situations and events, and you’ll require more than one type to protect your home: homeowner’s insurance covers the cost of repairing or replacing the home when disaster strikes, and title insurance protects you by ensuring you have good and marketable title to your property. First National Title (FNT) is proud to be Arkansas’ largest and most trusted independent title company, and we’re always a phone call away any time you have questions about title insurance!
We have 26 convenient locations to serve you throughout The Natural State, and you’ll always be able to work one-on-one with an experienced agent in or near your hometown as you make the preparations for closing on your new home, land, or investment property. We take our commitment to legendary customer service very seriously, and we’re here to ensure that you enjoy a smooth and hassle-free closing! Contact us as soon as your offer is accepted and your property is under contract, and we’ll begin by performing a thorough title search to ensure that there are no liens or encumbrances on the property title.
A lot can happen over a property’s lifetime, and the title search is the first step toward keeping closing on schedule. The most common type of encumbrance or “clouds on title” that could appear in regard to real property could involve outstanding debts or legal judgments. And more serious issues that do sometimes occur are unknown heirs who claim to have an unresolved interest in the property.
After the title search is complete and our title professionals are satisfied that the property title is clean and unencumbered, our next step is to conduct a closing of the real estate transaction. Once the closing has occurred, and all recordings have been made, and all monies disbursed, you’ll receive an owner’s title insurance policy that will be effective for as long as you own your home. Title insurance is a “must” to help you protect your new home or investment property, and we’re proud to partner with the nation’s most trusted title insurance companies. We offer title insurance products from 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. A title policy from these companies issued by First National Title Company will provide you with the security you need on your new property!
