🔎 WHAT IS A TITLE SEARCH?

Ever wonder what happens before you get to the closing table?

A title search is the process of reviewing public records to uncover anything that could affect ownership of a property - like liens, unpaid taxes, judgments, or other claims.

Think of it as checking the property's history before you make it yours. 🏡

A Pittsburgh native and former college baseball player, Dominic knows a thing or two about teamwork, competition, and putting in the work to get better every day.

As our newest 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 & 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿, he’ll be connecting with agents and lenders throughout the Pittsburgh area; building relationships, learning the business, and becoming a resource our partners can count on.

He may be new to the title world, but his approach is simple: show up, listen, learn, build real connections, and be dependable. We think that’s a pretty great way to start!

Welcome to the team, Dominic! ⚾🏡
