Residential Title & Escrow Services

In real estate, “title” refers to your legal right to own and use a property, along with the official records that show its ownership history and any claims or restrictions tied to it.

A clean title means there are no unresolved issues, allowing the property to be legally transferred to you. It matters because it protects your ownership rights—ensuring the home you’re buying is truly yours, without future disputes.

A title company plays a critical role in guiding a real estate transaction from contract to closing. Title agents:

• Verify the seller’s legal right to sell the property
• Identify and resolve title issues
• Provide title insurance to protect buyers and lenders
• Coordinate the closing process and legal documentation
• Securely manage and disburse funds

Because real estate transactions involve significant amounts of money, security is critical. Wire fraud remains one of the most common cybercrimes in the United States, particularly in the real estate industry. In 2020 alone, 13,638 individuals were victims of wire fraud in the real estate and rental sector—a 17% increase over 2019—resulting in losses exceeding $213 million, according to FBI data. Eagle Title utilizes secure communication systems specifically designed to safeguard sensitive information and help minimize the risk of fraud.

Often, buyers and sellers rely on recommendations from their real estate agent or lender. However, buyers have the right to choose their own title company.

Eagle Title provides resources and guidance to help buyers feel confident in their choice and fully understand the role their title company plays in protecting their investment.

Choosing the right title company matters. Look for a team like Eagle Title, that offers:

Closing is the final step where ownership of the property officially transfers from the seller to the buyer.

At closing, you will:

• Review and sign all final documents
• Pay any remaining closing costs or funds due
• Confirm loan details (if applicable)

Once everything is signed and funds are received, the transaction is recorded with the local jurisdiction, and you receive the keys to your new home.

Even in a cash transaction, title insurance protects you from potential issues such as:

• Unknown liens
• Errors in public records
• Undisclosed heirs or ownership claims

Without title insurance, you would be responsible for resolving these issues on your own. With it, you’re protected from financial loss tied to past ownership problems.

A title search is a detailed review of public records to confirm the seller has the legal right to transfer ownership.

During this process, the title company looks for issues such as:

• Outstanding mortgages or liens
• Unpaid taxes
• Errors in public records
• Ownership disputes or missing heirs

If any issues are found, they are addressed and resolved before closing to ensure the property can be transferred with a clear title.
