Watch Now: Essential Insights on Title Insurance with Shari Sanders
Have you ever wondered what title insurance is and why it’s crucial for property owners? Title insurance is designed to protect property owners and lenders from financial losses due to issues related to a property's ownership. Unlike home insurance, which covers future risks, title insurance addresses problems from past events—such as fraud, encroachments from neighboring properties, unpaid liens, and zoning violations. These potential issues can be costly, making a one-time purchase of title insurance a valuable investment and sometimes a requirement from lenders. If you missed our live Island Living Today talk on September 5th, don't worry! The recording is now available for you to watch.
