John Roy. John leads Title Forward, Redfin's title and settlement business.
But Title Forward—a wholly-owned subsidiary of Redfin—is working to revolutionize the title, escrow and settlement aspect of the residential real estate process, as well as do away with some of the industry's more archaic methods.
Since then, the company has expanded its offerings to include not only a full-service real estate brokerage, but also iBuying, title & escrow, and lending services.
Closing at a title company usually takes 1-2 hours. You check in, review and sign legal and lender documents, wait for lender approval, and authorize wire transfers. The closing finishes with you receiving keys and the recorded deed. First-time buyers or situations involving financing may take slightly longer.
While the home closing process usually takes 30 – 60 days, you should be prepared to close as quickly as possible.
One of the reasons that closing can take a long time, and one of the main reasons a title company gets involved, is to make sure the deal is air tight. They want to make sure that the person who claims to own the home really owns the home, that there are no liens or debts attached to it.
– The title company prepares all the necessary legal documents required for the closing, including the settlement statement, deed, and any additional documents specified by the lender or local regulations.
A simple title report is typically completed in less than two weeks, if not faster, from order to receipt. That's manual. That's admin to a title officer back to admin. You can verify ownership through the county assessor and usually pull the last deed online.
