What's scarier than ghosts and ghouls? Not getting title insurance! Title insurance is the only way to protect your property rights.

Without it, your property rights could be at risk!

"Realtors can usually count on their biggest season being spring, followed by summer. But nothing about 2020 has been normal, including home-buying patterns. With shut-down orders in the spring, summer became the new home-buying season, and homebuyers were still incredibly active in August." Read the full article here: http://ow.ly/cUWC50BJIqF
