Title Search & Examination

Thorough title searches and examination to surface liens, encumbrances, and defects — and clear them before you close.

What We Handle

Know exactly what you're buying

A property is only as good as its title. Our examiners search the public records — deeds, mortgages, judgments, tax records, probate filings — and trace the chain of title to confirm who owns the property and what claims stand against it. When we find an issue, we tell you plainly what it means and what it takes to cure it.

Search and exam work is included in every closing we handle, and also available as a standalone service for investors, attorneys, and lenders who need answers before committing.

  • Full title searchesOwnership and encumbrance searches across Pinellas, Hillsborough, and surrounding counties.
  • Lien & judgment reportsMortgages, code enforcement liens, HOA claims, tax certificates, and recorded judgments identified and explained.
  • Chain-of-title examinationDeed history traced and examined for gaps, defective conveyances, and probate or heirship issues.
  • Curative workPayoff negotiation, release tracking, and corrective documents to clear defects before closing day.
  • Pre-foreclosure & auction diligenceKnow what liens survive before you bid — searches tailored for auction and distressed-property investors.

What to expect

Give us the property address or parcel number and what you need to know. Standalone search reports typically come back within a few business days, faster when a deal is moving. Every report is reviewed by an examiner — not just machine-generated — and we're available by phone to walk through what we found and what it means for your transaction.

Found something on a property you're pursuing? Don't guess at what a recorded lien means. Send us the details and we'll tell you whether it's a deal-breaker or a routine cure.
