Each jurisdiction sets its own transfer or recordation taxes. These are based on the sales price and loan amount and are paid at closing. Typically they are split equally between buyer and seller, but like many details in a real estate transaction, they may be negotiated in the contract.
The Closing Disclosure (CD) is a five-page form from your lender that details every cost of your loan and transaction — loan terms, monthly payment, closing costs, and cash to close. By law, you must receive it at least 3 business days before closing. Review it carefully and compare it to your Loan Estimate. Contact us or your lender immediately if anything looks different than expected.
After contract ratification, we conduct a thorough title search, review the chain of title to verify the legal conveyance of each deed in the chain, identify and clear liens, and issue title insurance policies protecting the buyer and the lender. We also:
- Coordinate with your lender and all parties to the transaction
- Prepare the settlement statement and closing documents to transfer the title
- Facilitate closing day when documents are signed and ownership transfers
- Disburse all funds according to the terms of the contract and settlement statement
- Record all documents to legally transfer title.
Yes! Title insurance protects you against hidden defects in the property’s ownership history — things like an undiscovered lien, a forged deed in the chain of title, or an unknown heir with a claim to the property. Your lender will require a Lender’s Policy and we will issue an Owner’s Policy at closing — it’s a one-time premium that protects your equity and property rights for as long as you (or your heirs) own the home.
RSI Title acts as a neutral third party that coordinates the entire closing. We conduct the title search, prepare all documents, collect and disburse funds (including your down payment and lender proceeds), issue title insurance, and record the deed after closing. We make sure money and property legally change hands at the same moment.
