If you’re entering the world of commercial real estate, there’s a good chance you’re about to put down a large amount of money or secure a fairly hefty loan as part of your investment. When the financial stakes are high, you want to know that your money is safe, and that’s where a title services team comes in. Besides helping you secure a commercial property, our goal is to ensure you are financially protected as you navigate the world of commercial real estate, and we offer a number of services that do just that. In today’s blog, we spotlight seven ways a title services team can offer some financial safeguards for your commercial investment.

Protect Your Finances With A Title Services Team

Our goal is to uncover and mitigate risk so that you can make the best possible decision for your commercial investment. Many of our services are designed to protect your investment or ensure there aren’t any unwelcome surprises down the road. Here’s a look at just some of the ways that we can safeguard your commercial investment.

Title Clearing - First and foremost, we’ll dig into a potential property’s title chain to determine if there are any issues that need to be cleared up before you purchase the property. If these concerns aren’t taken care of before you close, they can become your problem and your financial obligation once you are the owner, so making sure a title is clean prior to closing is a must.
Title Insurance - Despite our best efforts, there’s no way to guarantee with absolute certainty that there are no undiscovered issues with the property. To protect against those fluke issues, we offer reasonable title insurance policies that provide additional peace of mind for as long as you own the property. Title insurance can be secured with a one-time fee, and it will continue to provide coverage for as long as you own the property.
Secure Payments - We use secure payment portals and have safeguards in place to ensure your money is transferred quickly and safely. We’ll always explain what to expect and how payments will be handled so that you can know with certainty that your money is secure before you send payments electronically.
Escrow Distribution - We offer escrow services so that buyers and sellers can move forward with confidence that payments will be made as expected during the process of the sale. Our third-party escrow services ensure that both buyer and seller follow through with their obligations before earmarked funds are passed along to the correct party.
Construction Disbursement - Similarly, if you’re having work performed on a property, you can take advantage of our construction disbursement services. We’ll hold funds and distribute them to contractors and subcontractors based on contractual obligations. This way contractors aren’t hounding you for payment, and you don’t need to personally pay them before the work has been completed.
Tenant Improvement Allowances - We can also hold funds for tenants that have been offered a tenant improvement allowance to make renovations to their business or leased commercial space. We talk more about TIAs on this blog, but know that we can act as the middleman to provide your tenant with payments as dictated by the contract so that it’s one less thing for you to manage. This also protects your investment by ensuring the funds you provide to the tenant are used for the agreed upon purposes.
Scam Warnings - Finally, scammers have become more common in the world of commercial real estate. If something looks too good to be true or the seller wants you to rush through a deal without conducting the right steps to protect yourself, we’ll step in and ensure everything is conducted by the books. We know what red flags to watch for, and we’ll ensure you aren’t scammed out of your hard-earned money.
