In the real estate industry, the activities of title companies closely follow the natural timeline of a transaction. Before the closing schedule, the title company searches for the current owner, outstanding mortgages, liens, and taxes paid to prepare the title commitment document. Once all the requirements are cleared, the title insurance can be issued to anticipate any potential issues with property ownership. The company also ensures that all discrepancies are resolved before scheduling the closing for a smooth experience.
