The Closing Process with The Title Haus
Closing on a property in Florida is the final step in a real estate transaction. It’s when ownership officially transfers from seller to buyer and when funds are properly disbursed. While exciting, this process can also feel complex without the right guidance. At The Title Haus, our attorney-backed team ensures every step is completed with precision, transparency, and care.
What Is the Closing Process
Closing is the legal and financial process that finalizes a property sale. It includes document preparation, escrow handling, title insurance issuance, and recording the deed. The goal is to ensure the buyer receives clear ownership and the seller receives payment without disputes.
Title Search and Examination
Before closing can happen, The Title Haus performs a detailed title search.
What the Title Search Covers
- Confirming the seller is the legal owner
- Identifying liens, judgments, or unpaid taxes
- Checking easements or restrictions on the property
- Ensuring there are no ownership disputes
If issues are found, our team works to resolve them quickly so the closing can move forward smoothly.
Escrow Management
The Title Haus acts as a neutral third party, managing escrow accounts with accuracy and security.
How Escrow Works
- Buyers deposit earnest money and loan funds into escrow
- Sellers provide payoff details for mortgages or liens
- Funds are disbursed only once all conditions are met
Escrow ensures fairness for both parties and adds financial security to the transaction.

Common Documents Prepared
