How Our Process Works
Step 1. Title Order
Contract and title request are received. Order is opened. Buyer and seller information is requested. Earnest money and option fee are collected.
Step 2. Title Search & Examination
Title search is completed using public records. Name searches are run through the OFAC SDN list. Title documents are reviewed before being sent out to all parties.
Step 3. Title Commitment
Title commitment is issued in Schedule A–D format to show requirements, exceptions, and Title Company details.
Step 4. Curative Work
Requirements on Schedule C are cleared, such as liens, judgments, or probate. Existing survey is reviewed or a new one is ordered. HOA resale documents and home warranty coverage plans are requested.
Step 5. Preparation of Closing Documents
Final settlement statements, legal documents, and loan documents are prepared. Settlement statements are shared with both buyer and seller.
Step 6. Closing
Buyer and seller sign the documents. Closing funds from the buyer and lender are deposited with the Title Company.
Step 7. Disbursement
The Title Company pays off prior liens, judgments, taxes, commissions, and other closing costs. The remaining proceeds are given to the seller.
Step 8. Recording
The Title Company records the Deed, Deed of Trust, and all other required documents with the County Clerk’s Office.
Step 9. Title Policy Issuance
After closing, disbursement, and recording, the Owner’s Policy is issued to the buyer, and the Loan Policy is issued to the lender.
