What is a title insurance agent?

A title insurance agent prepares paperwork related to mortgage insurance when homeowners are preparing to enter escrow on a home. Title insurance protects against monetary loss for mortgage lenders and owners in a home purchase transaction. One of the main responsibilities for a title insurance job involves searching property records for information to ensure that the process goes smoothly for both the lender and the purchaser of the property. Duties include working with homebuyers and sellers, preparing paperwork, and communicating with real estate agents and other professionals.
