What does a title company actually do?

In Arizona, title companies handle both title insurance and the escrow closing process, unlike some states where attorneys do this work. The title company searches public records to verify the seller actually owns the property and that there are no liens, judgments, or claims against it. They issue title insurance to protect you and your lender if a problem is discovered later. They also act as the neutral escrow holder, collecting and holding your earnest money, coordinating with lenders, preparing closing documents, recording the deed and deed of trust with the county, and disbursing funds to the seller and any lien holders at closing. They ensure everyone gets paid correctly and that ownership transfers properly. The specifics depend on your situation and a licensed title professional should confirm, and Jon can connect you with one.
