Protecting Your Interests For Generations To Come

Buying real estate is a big investment. Before you sign your name on the dotted line, you'll want to be confident that you are making a wise and safe investment for you and your family. Part of this assurance comes from working with a mortgage professional to verify how much house you can safely afford. The other part comes from working with a reliable title company at the Lake of the Ozarks to ensure that your chosen property does not come with any hidden hazards that may threaten your ownership rights.

Arrowhead Title Is Your Trusted Title Resource

 At Arrowhead Title, Inc., we recognize the immense trust you place in the title company you choose to assist with your transaction, and we value it immensely. When we facilitate a transaction, we handle all of the details with the utmost precision and accuracy. We recognize that your business is a privilege (not a right), and we do everything we can to earn that privilege. Ensuring that your needs are met and that your expectations are exceeded is our highest priority.

 Protecting Your Right To Use And Occupy Your Property

 Your financial future is on the line when you purchase real estate at the Lake of the Ozarks, and it is our job to ward off any potential hazards that could threaten your right to use and occupy your property after closing. Believe it or not, there are actually several things that can threaten new property owners. Here are a few examples:
  • If his/her signature was not obtained at closing, the ex-spouse of the seller could express ownership rights over the property.
  • An unknown will could surface and promise ownership rights to someone else.
  • If an unsatisfied lien is uncovered, you could be financially responsible for it.
  • Errors in public records can compromise your ownership rights.
  • If it is later discovered that one of the signatures at closing was unauthorized, the validity of the sale may be compromised.

In addition to limiting your right use and occupy your property, these types of scenarios (and the countless others that present every year) can potentially bring financial loss.

Why Accuracy Matters

Accuracy is important in any line of business, but it is especially critical in the title industry. As your title professionals at the Lake of the Ozarks, it is our job to conduct a thorough title search to uncover any of these potential issues before closing. Identifying these issues prior to closing allows you time to negotiate them into the sale. For example, you may request that the closing date be delayed so that the seller can resolve a certain issue before closing. Depending on the severity of the issues uncovered, you could also have the choice to walk away from the sale altogether.

Protecting Your Interests For Generations To Come

Even with the most in-depth title search, some hazards may occasionally remain hidden. In order to protect your interests going forward, we will issue you a owner's title policy at closing. Should a hidden hazard arise, this policy will be your first line of defense. This policy will remain in effect as long as you and your heirs have a vested interest in the property; you will not have to renew it or pay additional premiums.

Title Commitment vs Title Report

Do you know the difference between a title commitment and a title report? While these documents may sound similar at first, they actually serve very different purposes and should not be confused.
