A clear title is necessary for a real-estate transaction. This is necessary for claims or liens of any kind before it can be issued. A Title Insurance, therefore, protects lenders and homebuyers from financial loss sustained from defects in a title to a property. There are two types of Title Insurance and includes different costs, policy endorsements, title commitments and vesting issues. It is usually part of the real-estate closing. As a real estate agent, it is important to know the basics of title insurance to serve as a guide to individuals in any real estate transaction.
