Who selects the Title Agency?
• Consumers may shop for title insurers for the best closing fees. Typically the buyer’s Realtor® (selling agent) or lender will select the title agency, but consumers should talk with their Realtor® or an attorney regarding this title agency choice. Consumers should be aware that Realtors® or lenders may have ownership interests in the title agency (called “affiliated business arrangements” or “joint ventures”). REMEMBER: THE CHOICE IS YOURS!
