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.
Below are links to tips, guides and more, catered just for you, the buyer. We want you to have access to all the resources available for a smooth and successful closing! Click the images to view PDFs on all of the information you may need or call us with any questions.
Buyer Related FAQ’s
Most transactions close within 30–45 days, depending on lender timelines and whether title issues arise. We offer quick turnaround for cash transactions, refinances or if the parties require expedited processing and can close in as little as 2 weeks.
You’ll review and sign all necessary documents. Once funds are collected and disbursed, RSI Title records your deed and mortgage, officially transferring ownership.
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.
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.
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.
