What Is Title Insurance—and Why Is It Important?

Your home is one of your biggest investments. Protecting your ownership rights deserves just as much attention as finding the perfect property! 🔑

Title insurance helps protect against financial loss from covered title issues, such as undisclosed liens, unknown heirs, recording errors, fraud, or forgery.

🛡️ Did you know? Owner’s title insurance is purchased with a one-time premium at closing and generally protects your ownership for as long as you own the property, subject to the policy’s terms.

At Ocean View Title & Escrow, we help you understand the closing process so you can move forward with confidence.

🏡 FAQ FRIDAY | FAQ #014

What Are Documentary Stamp Taxes—and Who Pays Them?

You may see “doc stamps” listed among your closing costs, but what do they mean? 🤔

Documentary stamp taxes are Florida taxes that apply to certain documents, including deeds and mortgages. They’re a normal part of many real estate transactions.

✔️ Deed doc stamps: Typically paid by the seller and based on the consideration paid for the property.

✔️ Mortgage doc stamps: Typically paid by the buyer obtaining financing and based on the amount secured by the mortgage.

✔️ Who pays: Your purchase contract determines how these closing costs are allocated between buyer and seller.

📍 Key Takeaway: Understanding your closing costs before closing day helps you plan ahead and avoid surprises. Our team is here to walk you through the details!

🏡 REAL ESTATE FAQ FRIDAY | FAQ #013

What is a title search—and why is it important?

A title search is a detailed examination of public records to identify any liens, judgments, easements, claims, or other matters that could affect ownership of a property.

This important step helps confirm that the seller has the legal right to sell the property and that the buyer can receive clear title at closing. A thorough title search can uncover potential problems early—before they become costly surprises.

📍 Key Takeaway: Knowledge today provides peace of mind tomorrow.

🏡 REAL ESTATE FAQ FRIDAY | FAQ #012

What Is an Estoppel Certificate... and Why Is It Important?

If you’re buying or selling a home in an HOA or condominium community, an estoppel certificate is an important part of the closing process.

Issued by the association, it shows amounts owed on the property, including dues and assessments, and may identify open violations. Reviewing it before closing helps everyone address association charges or other issues before ownership changes hands.
