Your lender is required by law to issue a Closing Disclosure at least 3 days before settlement (for the Buyer). RSI Title will also provide your final settlement statement prior to closing. We can prepare preliminary statements so that you have an understanding of the costs well before the closing date.
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.
Customs vary by jurisdiction. Typically, the buyer pays for both the lender and owner’s policy. The owner’s policy and settlement fees may be split or negotiated in the contract.
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.
Fees vary depending on property, loan type, and jurisdiction. Typical costs include:
- real estate commissions
- Lender fees (buyer)
- Title insurance premiums
- Settlement fees
- Recording costs
- State or local transfer taxes
You’ll receive a detailed settlement statement before closing and we offer free quotes and estimates. We always guarantee our title fees upfront.
