What does a title company do and why do I need one to sell or purchase real estate?

A title company plays a crucial role in real estate transactions by conducting a thorough investigation of a property's title history to ensure that the property can be legally transferred from one owner to another. They search for any outstanding liens, easements, or other issues that could affect the property's ownership. This process helps protect both buyers and sellers by providing peace of mind that the property being bought or sold has a clear title. Utilizing a title company is necessary in real estate transactions to mitigate the risk of potential legal disputes or financial complications that could arise from undiscovered title issues.
