Title Insurance

(Owner’s and Lender’s Policy)

* I recommend enhanced coverage (Old Republic Homeowner’s Title Policy), which will be ordered for residential purchases unless otherwise specified. Rates are subject to change and are not controlled by my office.

$4.00 per $1,000 of sale price (approximate)

+ $100 for lender’s policy*

$4.90 per $1,000 of sale price for enhanced policy

+ $100 for lender’s policy

*If you can obtain a recent title insurance policy from the owner/seller of the property, we can usually use that policy to obtain a re-issue title insurance rate, which may save up to 40% on the costs of title insurance.
