TITLE SEARCH GUARANTEED?

Hello,

I am buying a single family home in Florida,closing will happen in one week,

I am using a title company that handles the closing and that do the title search to be sure there are no liens,dues etc..

my question is what happens If it is said to be clear and clean and that when I resell the house in 2 months or 2 years or whatever some liens/debts/or others belonging before my first purchase date appears.. would that be possible? if yes what can I do to prevent this from happening,I did of course a bit of search myself but still,I am paying the title company for this so I expect them to do it right and especially to sleep well at night

Thank you

That’s what the title insurance, in addition to the title search, you are paying them for covers.....the insurance itself is about 0.55% of purchase price.
