Unlike most purchases, paying money for real estate and receiving a deed to the property doesn't guarantee the buyer free and clear title. Once the settlement is final, the buyer is responsible for any valid claims made against his or her property, which means any unsettled matters involving the property and its past owners could become the problem of the new owner. It makes sense to protect such a large investment with title insurance. And it makes sense to get your title insurance from an agency that has been providing title services since 1964; South Jersey Title Agency, the oldest independent title agency in Ocean County and one of the oldest in the state of New Jersey. “Experience the Best.”
