Real Estate FAQs

For many people, a home is the largest purchase they will ever make. Title insurance protects that purchase against claims that the house — or another parcel of real estate — is not legally theirs. In order to issue title insurance, the provider reviews the title to make sure it is clean, meaning it is free from known claims. The insurance policy helps provide some reassurance that ownership of the property is secure.

Every real estate transaction differs, and thus may require that different documents be provided to finalize the sale. However, there are a few items that are commonly required in Florida real estate closings:

• Proof of identification – a driver’s license or passport will suffice

• Proof of insurance

• Payment of costs related to closing
