Services

Overview

We handle all aspects of the transfer of title for our Clients’ real estate transactions so that we can protect the title to their investments.

Escrow Closing Service

Our professional closers are capable of closing all types of transactions. Our escrow officers will prepare a complete closing package with both buyer and seller settlement statements; prorate taxes and rent; and prepare a final closing statement for each party indicating amounts to be disbursed for services and any further amounts necessary to close escrow.

Residential

The purchase and sale of residential real estate is a highly personal experience, and we listen to your needs and concerns and are responsive to your questions so that you understand your transaction.

Commercial

Your deal is a big deal to us, whether a simple commercial deal or a complex transaction, we have experience with acquisitions, dispositions, refinancing, and construction-to-permanent financing.

Farm and Ranch

These transactions are as unique as the underlying properties.  The sale of farm and ranch property typically includes more than just a transfer of land and buildings—it can also require knowledge about the transfer of equipment, property leases, minerals, and water rights.

Lender

We have experience with refinancing and construction-to-permanent financing conversions

Commitment for Title Insurance

The Commitment for Title Insurance is issued when the company can expect that a policy of title insurance will be issued. Title commitments consist of 4 Schedules A, B, C, and D. Schedule A provides details of the current transaction such as the current owner of record, current sales price/loan amount, proposed buyer, lender, etc. Schedule B contains exceptions to title, meaning that the items listed will not be covered by any title policy/ies issued. There is no charge for this form in Texas.  Fees for title insurance is collected only if a title policy is issued.

Lien Search

A report showing only ownership and liens of record for a date range specified when the lien search order is placed. The fee for this service will be determined by the range of years we would need to research. Invoice will be issued and must be paid prior to any work beginning.

Title Report (no liability – not a form of title insurance)

A title report is an examined report pertaining to a specific piece of property. The report will contain current owner, easements, leases, deeds, and outstanding liens of any type. Although it does contain the same information shown in a title commitment for title insurance, the company has no obligation to issue a policy or subsequent commitment pursuant to same. Invoice will be issued and must be paid prior to any work beginning.

Nothing Further Certificates

This certificate is normally requested by banks or lien holders requesting the title company to certify that “Nothing Further” has transpired since their last policy date that would affect the priority of their lien. Our office would provide the certificate as well as copies of all recorded documents filed of record. Invoice will be issued and must be paid prior to any work beginning.

Abstractors Certificate

A chronological list of all matters filed of record against a particular piece of property from a specified date range including items indexed against a particular named party or subject property. Invoice will be issued and must be paid prior to any work beginning.
