Real Estate Services
+Closing Services
Cornerstone is licensed by the State of Ohio, a “filed-rate state.” As such, virtually all premiums are filed and approved by the State of Ohio and are nearly identical among all title insurance agencies.
The difference with Cornerstone is the personal relationships we foster with our clients. We have built a reputation for protecting buyers and lenders in real estate transactions. Our Cornerstone team combines market knowledge with responsiveness and flexibility to provide clients excellent service from the initial title search through the real estate closing.
+Title Searches
Before issuing a title insurance policy, our agents thoroughly examine relevant public records for debts, legal judgments, and other potential issues. An in-depth real estate title search helps reduce the risk of ownership issues occurring in the future. If any problems are found during the title search, Cornerstone can often assist in resolving them before the title is issued.
+Property Lien Search
Our property lien search services are essential for uncovering any outstanding liens or encumbrances that may affect the property’s title. Identifying and addressing liens during the due diligence process, we help ensure a clean title transfer and mitigate risks for buyers and lenders alike. With Cornerstone Title Agency, you can trust that your property lien search is thorough and accurate.
+Property Surveys
Cornerstone Title Agency offers property survey services to provide valuable insights into a property’s physical boundaries and characteristics. Whether purchasing or refinancing real estate, a property survey can help identify potential boundary disputes, easements, or encroachments that may impact your ownership rights. Our team connects clients with licensed surveyors to ensure a clear understanding of the property’s boundaries before completing the transaction.
+1031 Exchange
Cornerstone Title Agency can assist with transactions involving 1031 exchanges, a powerful tax-deferral strategy for investors. While we do not act as a qualified intermediary, we facilitate the title and closing process for buyers and sellers engaged in 1031 transactions. Our knowledgeable team ensures that all necessary title-related aspects of the exchange proceed smoothly, helping investors comply with IRS regulations while maximizing the benefits of their property transactions.
+Escrow
Cornerstone Title Agency provides reliable escrow services for secure and efficient real estate transactions. Our escrow agents act as neutral third parties, holding funds and important documents until all transaction conditions are met. Whether buying, selling, or refinancing property, you can trust our experienced escrow team to handle your funds with the utmost care and professionalism, ensuring a seamless closing process.
