For Buyers & Sellers

The closing table shouldn't feel like a final exam.

We believe you deserve to understand every document you sign. We slow down, explain everything in plain language — and for our Spanish-speaking clients, in español — and don't consider a closing successful unless you leave feeling confident.

Bilingual Services

We have the largest bilingual title department in the region.

Our bilingual team handles every aspect of your closing in Spanish — the title search, insurance binders, settlement statements, and every document you sign. No translators. No delays. Native fluency.

What to Expect

Five steps. Zero surprises.

From contract to keys, here's exactly what we do and when we do it.

01

Contract is signed

Your realtor or attorney sends us the purchase agreement. We open the file, confirm everyone's contact info, and send you a welcome email within the hour.

01 · en español

Se firma el contrato

Su agente o abogado nos envía el contrato de compra. Abrimos el expediente, confirmamos la información de contacto y le enviamos un correo de bienvenida en menos de una hora.

02

Title search

We search the public records — sometimes going back 50+ years — to confirm the seller has a clean right to sell and that there are no outstanding liens, judgments, or surprises.

02 · en español

Búsqueda de título

Investigamos los registros públicos — a veces hasta 50 años atrás — para confirmar que el vendedor tiene derecho legítimo de vender y que no hay gravámenes, juicios ni sorpresas pendientes.

03

Title insurance issued

You receive an owner's title insurance policy that protects you — and your heirs — from any defect discovered after closing. It's a one-time premium. No renewals. Ever.

03 · en español

Se emite el seguro de título

Recibirá una póliza de seguro de título que le protege a usted y a sus herederos de cualquier defecto descubierto después del cierre. Es una prima única. Sin renovaciones. Nunca.

04

Closing day

We walk you through every document in plain language. You ask every question you have. We don't rush. When you sign, you understand exactly what you signed.

04 · en español

Día del cierre

Le explicamos cada documento en lenguaje sencillo. Haga todas las preguntas que tenga. No hay prisa. Cuando firma, entenderá exactamente lo que firmó.

05

You're covered for life

Our Lifetime Customer Program means future closings, referrals, and real estate questions come back to us — and we remember you every single time.

05 · en español

Protegido de por vida

Nuestro Programa de Clientes de por Vida significa que los cierres futuros, referencias y preguntas sobre bienes raíces regresan con nosotros — y siempre lo recordamos.

Owner's Title Insurance

What it is. Why it matters. What it covers.

Owner's title insurance is a one-time premium that protects your ownership rights forever. Not just while you own the home — for your heirs, too. Louisiana's unique property law makes it more important here than almost anywhere else in the country.

Outstanding liens

Unpaid mortgages, contractor liens, or HOA balances the seller forgot to mention.

Forged signatures

A previous deed in the chain signed by someone who didn't have authority — or who forged a name.

Unknown heirs

Louisiana's forced heirship laws mean a relative you never knew about could surface with a valid claim.

Clerical errors

A misspelled name or wrong parcel number on a 30-year-old act that clouds your clear title.

Boundary disputes

Survey disagreements that put part of your property legally in someone else's name.

Undisclosed easements

Rights of way or utility easements that affect how you can build, park, or use the land.

"One-time premium. Lifetime protection. Your heirs are covered too."

Unlike homeowner's insurance, you pay once at closing — never again. The policy stays active as long as you or your heirs have an interest in the property.

Lifetime Customer Program

Most title companies close once. We close for life.

After your first closing with us you're enrolled automatically. Every future closing gets a reduced rate. Referrals earn you credit toward closing costs. And your file never goes cold — we remember you every time.

See how the program works
  • Reduced rates

    Every closing after your first costs less.

  • Referral credit

    Refer a friend, earn closing cost credit.

  • File memory

    We already have your history — no starting over.

  • Heir coverage

    Your children inherit the program, not just the house.

Buyer & Seller FAQ

Questions we hear at every closing.

How long does a typical closing take?

From contract to keys, most residential closings take 21-30 days. We'll give you a realistic timeline from day one and update you every step of the way.

What do I bring to the closing table?

A government-issued photo ID, a certified or cashier's check for your closing funds (or confirmation of wire transfer), and any documents your lender or realtor flagged. We'll send you a complete checklist 72 hours before closing.

Can I close remotely?

Yes. We offer remote online notarization (RON) for most transaction types. Ask when you schedule and we'll confirm eligibility for your specific file.

What if there's a problem with the title?

That's exactly why we search it before you close. If we find an issue, we work to cure it before the closing date. After closing, your owner's title insurance policy covers any defects that surface later.

Do I need a real estate attorney?

Louisiana is an attorney-required closing state, meaning an attorney must supervise the closing. Our attorneys handle that — you don't need to separately retain one for the closing itself.

¿Atienden en español?

Sí. Contamos con el departamento bilingüe más grande de la región. Todo el proceso — búsqueda de título, póliza de seguro, declaración de liquidación y firma de documentos — se realiza en español sin necesidad de intérprete.
