Title insurance is practically a necessity when it comes to selling real estate. Title companies such as First Priority Title Company are responsible for conducting the closing and running the title search. Title insurance is there to protect parties in the event there is an issue with the insurable title to the property. Title insurance is separate from that of the lender or mortgage company.  The value of the home isn’t covered by the lender, therefore, title insurance is obtained.

Jean-Luc Andriot explains why autumn is a great time to purchase a luxury home or condo in South Florida.

Fewer competitors

“Just like the seasons, the housing market experiences ebbs and flows,” Jean Luc Andriot says. “In the spring, sellers are hot to get their properties on the market. It’s a more popular time to put a home on the market, and the season is quite busy with home transactions.”

“However,” Jean-Luc adds, “homeowners will often list their home prices too high, which leads to a series of price reductions in the coming months.”

Boca Raton buy or sell my house with or without an agent

Should I buy or sell my house with or without an agent?

With such a high volume of gizmos and gadgets that allow buyers and sellers to conduct their own real estate transactions, it may seem tempting to proceed without an agent, even in the luxury market. Surely, it is possible to save money going about it by yourself, but it can also end up costing far more than a real estate agent's commission in the longrun. Buying a home is a tremendous financial and emotional process that can be made more efficient with the support of an agent.

Save time and get better access
