Title company serving Tampa, Florida

Title insurance, escrow and closings for Tampa

Autograph Title & Escrow coordinates residential purchases and sales, commercial transactions, refinances and title searches in Tampa and Hillsborough County. Your file starts with the property, the contract and a clear explanation of the parties and closing date.

Tampa transactions can involve an urban condo, a residential resale, a commercial acquisition or an investor purchase. The title requirements follow the property and deal structure, not the neighborhood label. Tell us early about association approvals, entity ownership, a second contract or lender conditions.

Choose the service your file needs

• Residential title and escrow: title insurance, settlement and coordination for buyers and sellers.
• Commercial title: acquisitions, sales, entity documents and lender requirements.
• Refinance and lender services: title requirements, payoffs and closing coordination for a new loan.
• Title search and examination: examination of recorded matters and policy requirements.
• Investor transactions: assignments, double closings and files needing title clearance.

Local details to raise before closing

Hillsborough County records are a starting point for recorded ownership matters. Municipal searches, association information and surveys answer different questions. Ask your closer which searches are included, especially if the purchase involves improvements, open permits or a commercial use.

We serve properties in South Tampa, Seminole Heights, Westchase and New Tampa. Share the specific address and parcel information if available; the applicable records and requirements depend on the property itself.

Understand your closing figures

The contract controls who pays each cost. An owner’s title premium, searches, settlement charges, government costs, lender charges and prorations are different items. Compare estimates using the same price, loan details and closing date. Our Tampa Bay closing-cost guide includes an illustrative sale breakdown.

Use the title insurance calculator for an original-policy estimate and the seller net sheet for proceeds planning. A quote for your actual file can account for details those tools cannot determine.

From contract to closing

1. Open the file. Supply the contract, contact information and transaction structure.
2. Examine and clear title. We identify requirements and coordinate documents, payoffs and releases as needed.
3. Confirm the figures. The parties and lender work from the settlement requirements and verified amounts.
4. Arrange signing and disbursement. Confirm the location and follow the closer’s verified funding instructions.

Where will my signing take place?

We serve Tampa from our Clearwater office at 4590 Ulmerton Road, Suite 300. This is a service-area page, not a Tampa branch office. Ask about mobile signing arrangements or remote options for a qualifying transaction before scheduling travel.

Questions about a Tampa closing

Can you review a file before we have a signed contract?

Contact us with the address and your questions. We can explain the appropriate title and settlement service and what information is needed to scope the work.

What if the seller inherited the property?

Tell us at the start. Review the inherited-property checklist and involve estate counsel where legal authority or probate issues need advice.

Can a title issue delay a cash closing?

Yes. A cash purchase still needs the applicable ownership, title, funding and settlement requirements satisfied. Our title-problem guide explains what evidence may be needed.
