Escrow Service

When escrow / earnest money services are part of the contractual agreement, Cherokee Title Company serves as a neutral party for oversight of those funds. With decades of experience in handling these funds, we can ensure a smooth, successful process from conception to completion.

Our staff is committed to preserving the integrity of the transaction without prejudice or preference to either party.

Home Mortgages
Commercial Property

Partnership Interests
Cash Transactions

Title Examination

When any property changes ownership, it is imperative that a thorough title examination is performed to prevent impediments to the deed. A comprehensive investigation will follow the chain of title to ensure the seller has a clear title to sell, and to help protect the buyer.

Here’s just a few common encumbrances:

Public Record Errors
Debt Liens

Missing Heirs
Tax Liens

Closing Process

From the original agreement draft to the final closing package, our experienced staff communicates closely with sellers, buyers, lenders, and other parties to ensure a seamless process.

Throughout the decades, we have developed a dynamic protocol for efficiently transitioning from one phase of the closing process to the next – offering an exponential value to our clientele.
