Refinance
Refinancing your mortgage is a smart way to lower your interest rate, adjust loan terms, or access equity — and at RSI Title, we make sure the process is seamless from start to finish. As your closing and escrow agent, we coordinate with your lender to manage all requirements, verify your property’s title history, and clear any issues so your new loan can be recorded without delay.
Our refinance services include a full title search, issuance of lender’s title insurance, preparation of settlement and payoff statements, collection and secure disbursement of funds, and recording of the new mortgage with the appropriate county office. We also ensure your old mortgage is properly paid off and released, eliminating future complications.
With RSI Title, you can expect clear communication, secure handling of your documents and funds, and flexible closing options that fit your schedule. Whether you’re refinancing to save money or restructure your loan, our experienced team provides the guidance and efficiency you need to complete your refinance with confidence.

No. Most title companies, including RSI Title, require a wire transfer or certified/cashier’s check for amounts over a small threshold (usually $500–$1,000). Personal checks are not accepted for down payments or large closing costs because they can be returned after the transaction closes. Contact us for exact wiring instructions well before your closing date.
We recommend wiring your cash-to-close at least 24 hours before your scheduled settlement time. Always call our office to verbally verify wire instructions before sending — never rely solely on emailed wire instructions, as wire fraud is a real risk. Once funds are verified received, we’ll confirm you’re clear to close.
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.
We are fully licensed, insured bonded and regulated in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. You may verify our licenses through each state’s insurance commission.
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.
