Title insurance is like a life preserver on a boat. You will probably never need it, but if you do, you will be very glad that it is there! How does title insurance work, and how does it protect you in the home buying process?

A title search will be ordered before you buy a home, to make sure that the sellers legally own the property, and that no one else has a legal interest in the home. The title company will also check through the ownership records for any liens, easements or other encumbrances on the title. This search should turn up any transactions that may not appear on the public record, such as an unsound transfer that occurred many years ago. Title insurance protects you against future claims against your home.

Your real estate agent can give you more specific information about the cost of title insurance and the types of coverage available in your area.

We will provide the best service possible for every client we represent. We will never tell a client what they want to hear - if it is not reality. We will never enter into a client relationship where we know what is expected of us cannot be done in good faith. We will never enter into an agreement with a seller who is unrealistic with regard to proper pricing. When hired to sell a client's home, we will always make the recommendations that can assist their home's value or help reduce its marketing time even if it means telling them things they do not want to hear. We acknowledge that we may periodically lose business because we are truthful with our clients while a few of our competitors may tell them what they want to hear to temporarily get their business. We will always remember that to have a winning relationship with our clients, we must always have a mutual goal.

We will never lose sight that our honesty, loyalty, understanding, accountability, and creativity are what makes us so very different from the real estate masses. We will always utilize a well trained staff to assist us in the complex home selling process. We will prioritize our time so that we are working only with people who are serious about either buying or selling real estate. We will always treat all parties honestly and fairly and will always offer our properties without regard to race, creed, religion, sex, ancestry, national origin, handicap, or family status. We will always promote the best interests of the owner. We will strive to obtain the best price for our owners, and we will always disclose to our owners all facts that might affect or influence their decisions.

We assure you that during our real estate careers we will always strive for excellence, and we make a commitment to continued education so that we may better serve our clients.

We look forward to Serving You!
