Why You Need CourthouseDirect.com
Property transfers, mortgage and lien agreements, and other such tasks in the title industry should go smoothly. Some property agents prefer gathering title documents the old-fashioned way, but the internet, especially sites like ours, have streamlined the process and enhanced security in the title industry.
In every county, there is a public record office where property owners can have their deeds and other written property documents recorded permanently. These records are meant to provide indisputable information regarding the rights and interests of property owners. However, public record offices go by different names in different locations. Documents are not stored the same way from state-to-state. The information in property documents may become confusing, especially if you are new to the title industry or handling documents in more than one location. Unknown heirs, forgeries, and ongoing ownership disputes may prevent crucial sales, purchases, and other activities. Outside factors affecting property ownership such as marriages, divorces, or guardianship also complicate matters for title agents.
With CourthouseDirect.com, you don’t have to worry about unexpected ownership developments. Our site is designed to keep track of any document remotely related to property ownership. These include assets, comprehensive property histories, title certificates, and deed and lien runsheets. Additionally, CourthouseDirect.com will tell you if a property has had an easement or involuntary lien, which may affect buyer and seller interest, real estate closings, and other factors.
As with other processes, CourthouseDirect.com streamlines and eases the title exam process. A thorough title exam ensures property buyers and sellers, as well as mortgage lenders, have their needs met in full before a real estate closing. This protects interested parties from long, drawn out closings or disputes about what one party expects from another.
If you are unfamiliar with CourthouseDirect.com, we encourage you to investigate our site and try our features today. Whether you live in Texas or out of state, you will find the documents you need to ensure your needs are met, along with the needs of your clients.
