Home Buyers
Eastern Title guides you through every step of closing — title search, title insurance, settlement coordination, and same-day recording — so you can take ownership with confidence.
Start Your OrderPartner Overview
Buying a home is one of the largest financial decisions of your life. Eastern Title is the settlement company working on your behalf to make sure the property you're purchasing comes with a clean title, your ownership is protected, and your closing goes exactly as planned. We explain every step so there are no surprises.
Why It Matters
Title insurance protects your ownership rights if a prior claim, lien, or defect surfaces after closing. Without it, you could face legal costs or even lose your property. We ensure you understand what you're buying and that your investment is protected for as long as you own the home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need owner's title insurance?
It's not legally required, but it's strongly recommended. Owner's title insurance protects your ownership rights if a prior claim or defect surfaces after closing — a one-time cost for lifetime protection.
What is a title search?
A title search is a review of all public records related to the property — deeds, mortgages, liens, judgments, and more — to confirm the seller has the right to transfer ownership and identify any issues that need to be resolved.
What does 'cash to close' include?
Cash to close is the total amount you'll need to bring to closing, including your down payment, title fees, lender fees, prepaid items, and any prorated taxes or HOA dues.
Can I close remotely?
Yes. We offer remote online notarization (RON) closings in eligible states, allowing you to sign your closing documents from anywhere with a secure video connection.
