When it comes to buying or selling property, title insurance often sparks curiosity. As an Illinois REALTOR®, being well-versed in title insurance will help you confidently guide your clients. This article answers the top three questions buyers and sellers ask about title insurance while introducing the benefits of partnering with Listing Agent Advantage.
What is Title Insurance? 🤔
Title insurance protects buyers and lenders from financial losses due to title defects, such as liens, encroachments, or ownership disputes. Unlike other types of insurance, which cover future events, title insurance safeguards against past issues that could impact property ownership.
Do I Need Title Insurance? 🏡
For Buyers:
- Ownership Assurance: Ensures there are no legal claims against the property.
- Financial Protection: Covers potential legal costs if disputes arise.
- Peace of Mind: Protects one of your biggest investments.
For Sellers:
- Clean Transaction: Resolves title issues before closing.
- Market Appeal: A clear title makes your property more attractive to buyers.
- Legal Safety: Reduces risk of post-sale disputes.
How Much Does Title Insurance Cost? 💸
Title insurance costs vary based on property value and location. In Illinois, the cost typically ranges from $1,900 to $3,500. However, partnering with @Home Title Services can save your clients significant money through Listing Agent Advantage’s Contract-to-Close concierge service.
