How does title insurance work with For Sale by Owner homes?

You’ve made the decision to sell your home yourself or to buy a for sale by owner home. You will need a title company who can assist you with researching your title and avoiding any surprises, securing your private information, closing on your home and filing the necessary documents with the county after closing.

Be secure

During the entire process, a secure method to transfer information and documents is extremely important. Email is not secure, never send personal information like social security numbers or documents as an attachment to an email. Edina Realty Title has proprietary technology so you can feel safe that your personal information is not going to be hacked.

Avoid surprises

You will want to make sure there are no liens against your property.  Hiring a title company to do a title search is a benefit to you because they can help you if there are any problems that need to be taken care of.

Have an advocate

The title company can schedule your closing, prepare the closing documents, guide you through the documents and signing process, securely handle funds and record your sale with the county.
