A common question we’re asked is, “What is a title company, and do I need one to sell my home in Dallas?” A title company is a company that specializes in the transfer of property. Title companies are experts in real estate paperwork. They can help you with many aspects of selling a home, including paying for the commission and negotiating with lenders to get paid for their services. Whether you need a title company depends on your circumstances.
The most common reason why people use a title company is that they don’t want to deal with the hassle of paperwork and negotiation. It’s a lot of work, and you might not know where to get started. Title companies will take care of all of this for you, so it’s possible to get your home sold quickly for a reasonable price. A title company will work with lenders to make sure that they’re paid for their services, which can include:
Not every title company is the same, which is why many homeowners research title companies before hiring one. We recommend starting with their website or calling them for more information to see what their qualifications are. Doing so will give you a good idea of how much experience they have and whether they’re qualified for your job.
It’s a good idea to get quotes from different companies before deciding who to use. Additionally, there are government-sponsored programs and discounts for low-income families if your finances prevent you from hiring a title company.
The cost of a title company will depend on where you live and the type of property you’re selling. Title companies generally collect their fees from the buyer–both at closing and in advance.
Title companies typically charge a flat fee that covers all costs. The seller might choose to use long-term financing instead of cash to close on the sale of the property. If that’s the case, there will likely be additional costs associated with obtaining a loan. That’s because it is more difficult for lenders to give out long-term loans without a title company. After all, they have limited information about what is going on with the property.
