Residential Related FAQ’s

What is title insurance, and do I really need it?2026-05-28T01:43:53+00:00

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.

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.

What kinds of title issues might come up?2025-10-30T00:56:22+00:00

Common issues include unpaid liens, errors in public records, judgments, identity theft, or disputes over boundaries. RSI Title works to resolve these before closing so your ownership is secure. Title insurance protects the homeowner from future issues that may arise after closing such as boundary disputes, zoning violations or unpaid, undisclosed charges affecting the property.

What happens if the title search reveals a problem?2026-05-28T01:46:01+00:00

This is exactly why the title search happens before closing. If a lien, judgment, or defect is found, we work with the seller and their title to resolve it before settlement. Common issues include unpaid contractor liens, estate matters, or old mortgages that were paid off but never formally released. Most issues are resolvable — and catching them early is the whole point.

Can I use a personal check for my closing funds?2026-05-28T01:45:43+00:00

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.
