Residential Related FAQ’s

When do I choose a title company as a seller?2026-05-28T02:02:09+00:00

In most Maryland, DC, and Virginia transactions, the buyer selects the title company — it’s one of their standard rights under the contract. However, sellers can negotiate title selection, and in some cases (such as new construction or certain investor transactions) the seller or builder may choose. If you’d like to work with RSI Title, let your agent know early in the process so it can be written into the contract.

What is a deed of trust, and how is it different from a mortgage?2026-05-28T01:47:24+00:00

Both are legal instruments that secure your home loan. Maryland, DC, and Virginia all use deeds of trust rather than mortgages. The practical difference: a deed of trust involves three parties (borrower, lender, and trustee), which can make foreclosure slightly faster if you default. For most buyers, the day-to-day experience is identical — you make monthly payments and own the home subject to the loan.

What does a title company actually do at settlement?2026-05-28T01:42:49+00:00

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.

What is escrow, and how does it work?2025-10-30T00:56:40+00:00

Escrow means we hold funds (such as your earnest money) in a secure account until all contract conditions are met. At closing, we disburse funds to the seller, lenders, and other parties. We are licensed, insured, bonded and have decades of experience to ensure the utmost professionalism and security of your funds. We also invest in the most advanced technology to further protect your personal data.

Can I close remotely?2025-10-30T00:58:41+00:00

Yes. We offer remote online notarization and virtual closings in Maryland, Virginia, and D.C., subject to lender approval and other restrictions based on the laws of the jurisdiction.
