A title exam is a search into the public records that pertain to your property to verify your ownership and to disclose any liens against it. This exam is mandatory in order for you to obtain title insurance. If this exam uncovers problems - such as unreleased mortgages, misfiled paperwork, or typos on filed documents - you as the seller must fix all outstanding issues to ensure that your title is marketable & insurable. Waiting to have a title exam performed can result in delays in receiving your proceeds check, not being able to move on time, or even losing your buyer!
With Smart Start®, you are paying for the same title exam that you are required to have before you can transfer your property.
But, if you get a Smart Start®, we do the exam NOW, before you have a buyer, and give you enough time to resolve potential problems. The exam is good for one year - giving you plenty of time to sell. This also gives us enough time to resolve any issues your title may have so that you are not delayed at closing.
