Title Insurance

A title policy is an insurance contract that ensures the validity of the title of the property you are purchasing or refinancing. It protects you against any defects or errors that may arise in the title to the property. At Western Wisconsin Title Services, LLC, we are an issuing agent for Stewart Title Guaranty Company, First American Title Company, and Old Republic Title Insurance. We work closely with these reputable title companies to provide our clients with the highest level of title insurance coverage.

The process of ordering title insurance begins with a thorough title search, during which our team of title agents will search all relevant records to identify any defects or problems with the title. If any issues are discovered, we will work with you to resolve them before closing. If a title defect is overlooked or arises later, your title insurance policy will cover the cost of resolving the issue or compensate you for your loss. Title insurance is essential for any real estate transaction, as it protects the buyer, seller, and lender from any potential title disputes.

Closing/Insured Closing and Escrow Services

The process of closing on a real estate transaction involves the exchange of funds and documents between the buyer and seller. At Western Wisconsin Title Services, LLC, we coordinate all the parties, documents, and funds to ensure that everything is under control. Our experienced closing agents work with all parties involved to ensure that the closing process is smooth and stress-free. We proudly offer our clients the option of holding their closings at our offices in Durand, Pepin, Alma, and Mondovi.

Title Searches

A title search is a thorough review of the real estate title from the time the current owner took title to the present. Our title agents will search all relevant records to identify any liens, judgments, or encumbrances attached to the property. This process helps identify any potential issues with the title before closing, allowing you to resolve them before completing the transaction. Our team of experienced title agents utilizes the latest technology to ensure a comprehensive and accurate title search.
