Buying More Than Title Insurance: 3 Factors to Consider

9/19/2026

 
Buying title insurance
When you’re making the biggest investment of your life, it’s a good idea to protect both you and the property you’re buying.
 
Buying real estate isn’t always a transparent transaction, as much as all parties concerned are committed to that end.

What Our Clients Are Saying


Great place to do your home buying with. Tammy knows what she is doing. Carol Ashman

The crew at Lilly Title and Settlement are the best! When they handle a settlement, I never have to worry. I never have to ask about the status of a closing because they send me weekly updates, and if there is anything I need to know in the meantime, they contact me right away.

As a busy Realtor, that's extremely important. Their knowledge and years of experience are simply unbeatable. In all the years I have worked with them, I have not seen a mistake.

​Tammy Lilly is meticulous in making sure every document is checked and double-checked before it leaves her office. I always trust Lilly Title to operate with total integrity and to always have a positive "can-do" attitude! Ed Davis, Realtor
