Are title companies necessary or can you close an RE deal without one?

[Jared DeValk]

As a former agent, I never questioned the use of title companies. I understand that they provide title insurance, but what exactly do they do that I can't do myself?

[John Moore]

I would think of all places to attempt to save money, title work would not be one of them. As you are aware it is rather time consuming and the comfort level of having Title Insurance is worth the money. Use your valuable time finding good deals, not doing pick and shovel work. Not a legal opinion, just food for thought
