Choosing a title company in the Madison area
A title company searches public records for liens or ownership problems, issues title insurance, and often handles the closing itself.
Ask for an itemized estimate of title and closing fees, and compare them against your Loan Estimate if you're financing.
Wire fraud targets home closings. Never wire money based on emailed instructions alone; call the title company at a phone number you found independently, never one from the email. If you think you've been targeted, contact your bank immediately.
