Buyers

Title Insurance provides coverage for certain losses to the title that occurred prior to your ownership. Title insurance protects against such prior fraud or forgery that might go undetected until after closing and possibly jeopardize your investment.

When you buy a home, you expect to enjoy certain benefits; a one-time premium is all the title insurance will cost you! Title insurance offers many beneficial aspects such as protecting your home against title defects and forgery.

 

Buyers’ Checklist:

– Preparing for your Signing with bt&e:
