A title search is an examination of public records to confirm legal ownership of a property and to identify any liens, encumbrances, or other issues that may affect the transfer of ownership.

The timeline for a title search can vary depending on the complexity of the transaction and the availability of information. Typically, the process takes around 1-2 weeks.

A closing is the final step in a real estate transaction where the buyer and seller sign all the necessary documents to transfer ownership of the property. The closing is conducted by a settlement agent or closing agent, who ensures that all the funds and documents are in order.

You should bring a valid photo ID, any documents required by your lender, and any funds required for closing costs and the down payment.

In most cases, the buyer has the right to choose their own title company. It is important to choose a reputable and experienced company that can handle the transaction efficiently and accurately.

Title fees can include the cost of the title search, title insurance, closing agent fees, and recording fees. These fees can vary depending on the location and the complexity of the transaction.
