Lenders
Buying a home may be the biggest investment you will make in your lifetime. Working with a skilled real estate agent, knowledgeable mortgage lender, and an experienced title company is key to ensuring a successful home purchase. We treat each transaction as a partnership and are available to answer all questions, before, during and even after the settlement. We even offer free consultations and can point you to an experienced agent or lender to meet your needs.

Buyer Related FAQ’s
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.
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.
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.
Always confirm wiring instructions with our office by phone (301-610-7777) before sending funds. RSI Title will never change wiring instructions via email at the last minute. You should never accept wire instructions from anyone other than the title company. Wire information should be never be verified number listed on the wire instructions.
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.
