Title Companies: Behind the Scenes of your Real Estate Transaction

Shortly after a home buyer goes "under contract" in buying a house, your agent sends the contract over and the title company starts a file. These are the important steps that are handled in a title company:

Hold Earnest Money
Title Search
Title Insured
Survey Ordered and Reviewed
Judgement Search
Issue Deed
Prepare Settlement Statement (HUD1)
Document Signing
Closing

The buyers and sellers often times don't interact much with the title company until they are ready to walk into closing, but the processor at the title company is busy preparing the deal for closing.
