Talking with a Title Company


When you are looking at selling a house in the Green Bay WI area you will need to do a few things in order for the transaction to go smoothly. The first being, make sure you are in contract with a legitimate home buying company. Don't sign a contract with someone just looking to assign their interest & leave you high and dry if things don't work out. The next being, you need to work with a GREAT title company!

How do you begin the title process?

Every time we put a property under contract here at CB Home Solutions I reach out to Closing and Title Services. They have offices in Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh, and Wautoma. I send them an email stating we would like to order a new title policy for the property at 123 Main St, Appleton, WI.

They begin the title search process & make sure all the proper documentation is completed prior to us purchasing the property. Title searches are NEEDED in order to verify that there are no leans or encumbrances against the title of the property. You don't want to take ownership only to find out that you now owe a $45,000 lien for a contractor who did work on the house 8 years ago & was never paid.

I would NEVER buy a house where the owner will not allow a title search. It will put you and your company at risk & cause more of a headache than it is worth.
