Let's talk about Real Estate and Title Insurance.

The real estate process consists of three phases; the purchase contract, the closing preparation, and the closing itself. A buyer or seller can engage a title company, without representation; which is the problem, as the buyer or seller does not have anyone representing their interests.

The law firm of Tim A. Shane P.A. will represent you from start to finish. We will assist you in the contract preparation and negotiation, in the preparation for the closing (the inspections, survey, title insurance), and at the closing itself.

Our law firm is a policy-issuing agent of Attorneys' Title Insurance Fund, Inc. and Stewart Title. The Fund is the largest title insurance underwriter in Florida and 7 th largest in the U.S. The Fund was awarded an “A-“ claims paying ability by Duff & Phelps, and an “A” rating by LACE Financial and by Demotech, Inc. Stewart Title, established in 1893, provides title insurance nationwide, through its 8000 offices. We are proud to be one of its agents.

The advantage of working with a member of the Fund, and/or Stewart Title is that the buyer or seller will get the title insurance and also be provided with counsel. We attempt to be extremely competitive for title insurance charges!

Our firm does not charge to meet with you initially, and our attorney fees are based on a project basis. The average attorney fees range from $500-$600 for a average closing, and this fee is often waived if we are doing the title work.
