There is a key player in the home buying process that often goes overlooked, that is, until you start the process of buying your own home. The title company is the agent of agents, the place in which the home buying process comes together under one roof. Your title company works for everyone involved in the purchase of your home the buyer, the seller, and the mortgage lender.
In many ways, the title company serves as a communal agent of sorts – the buyer’s, the seller’s, the insurance company’s – and even at times, the mortgage lender’s. The first task of the title company is to perform a title search by reviewing public records to inform all interested parties on the status and condition of the property’s title, as well as information related to any type of legal action involving the property, such as a foreclosure.
