I never understood how important it is to have a good title company until I got in to the business.
Three things I wish I knew...
1. Anyone can choose the title company in a real estate transaction. It's directed by the purchase contract. In Central Ohio, it's traditionally the seller who chooses, therefore their real estate agent is typically making the decision.
A lot of time that decision is driven by choosing a company who does a great job and offers everyone great customer service. Although, sometimes listing agents are offered a financial incentive to use the title company. If you're a buyer or seller, make sure you understand and are aware if there is a financial agreement there. It can create a situation where you're getting inferior service at an increased cost. WCT doesn't pay anyone for business. We rely on great customer service and great marketing to win business.
2. A title company is a great place to get a referral for a real estate agent, a lender, a home inspector, etc. We deal with them all. And like anything, there are good people in the business and there are those to stay away from. We're happy to help you find the good ones.
3. Understanding your costs when buying and selling important. I had not idea how much closing costs were. WCT can give you a free quote before you even think about listing your home. We're happy to help.
Happy to help with any questions or assist in anyway.
