The title company that will conduct the "Settlement" is normally chosen by the buyer. The title company essentially handles the legal side of the deal.

The title company manages lien releases and recording of legal documents - such as titles, deeds, etc. It also conducts a title search to ensure proper transfer of ownership and issues title insurance for that property. Title insurance protects the lender and/or owner against lawsuits or claims against the property that can result from disputes over the title. Title companies also often maintain escrow accounts which contain the funds needed to close on the home.

An experienced, trusted, professional title company can alleviate a lot of heartache before, during, and after the sale of a home.
