🏡 How Sun National Title Company Handles Your Real Estate Closing

Whether you're buying, selling, refinancing, or investing in real estate in Southwest Florida, Sun National Title Company plays a central—and often underappreciated—role in ensuring your transaction is legal, smooth, and secure.

1. What Is A Title Company and Why It Matters

At the heart of any property deal, a title company functions as the settlement agency responsible for:

Conducting a title search into public records to detect any liens, easements, ownership disputes, or other defects that could cloud clear ownership. Often, more than a third of property transactions reveal title issues requiring resolution before closing ( Sun National Title Company, ).
Helping to clear defects by facilitating payoffs, releases, or supplementary actions so that the property can transfer cleanly.
Holding funds in escrow, coordinating payoffs and distribution of sale proceeds to ensure all financial elements align at closing time.
Finalizing the deal by delivering the deed, recording it with the county, distributing funds to sellers/lenders, and issuing title insurance policies to protect both buyer and lender.

Because Sun National Title is an independent agency—not tied to any lender or real estate brokerage—they can serve as neutral facilitators focused entirely on compliance and client protection (Sun National Title Company).

4. Why Title Insurance Matters—and How Sun National Fits In

Title insurance protects buyers and lenders from losses due to title defects that existed prior to closing—such as undisclosed liens, fraud, missing heirs, or errors in public records.

Sun National, acting as a licensed title agent, issues title insurance on behalf of underwriters. They perform the search and documentation work while the underwriter backs the policy’s financial liability.

Claims, if needed later, are handled by the insurer—but the agent (like Sun National) remains the key facilitator at closing.
