Property Title Searches
During our
property title search, Key Title & Escrow looks at past deeds, wills, and trusts filed during the previous 30 years regarding a specific property to ensure that the property's title has been correctly passed to each new owner. Our examiners will also try to verify that all mortgages, judgments, and other liens on the property have been paid in full.
File Your Homestead Exemption
When buying a piece of real estate, a change of ownership can reset the assessed value of the property market value, in turn, raising property taxes. A
homestead exemption could save homeowners up to $50,000 on their taxable value. Be wary of non-ad valorem assessments that can impact your property tax bill as they are not based on the property's value.
Judgment & Lien Searches
A
judgment and lien searchis a detailed search used to uncover any unsatisfied judgments against a group or an individual. This search protects both the buyer and lender of the property as it will show whether the property belongs to someone else and if the property is clear to purchase.
Record Owner Searches
A
record owner search needs to be thorough and accurate to discover any claims, defects, or other problems with the property. By looking through deeds, court records, properties, and other documents, this search can uncover any defects, liens, encumbrances, and other restrictions on the property.
1031 Tax Deferred Exchange
Under
Florida 1031 exchange law, owners of real estate held for investment or used in a trade or business can exchange their property, tax-free, for real estate of "like-kind," which includes apartments, rental houses, retail properties, and office buildings. Without this law, property investors will need to pay taxes each time they move from one investment property to another.
