Delays experienced by homebuilders can be minimized by contacting an experienced title agency early in the building process. Actions initiated by a proactive title agency that will minimize problems down the road can include the following:

• Setting a meeting with all parties from the onset (homebuilders, developer, attorney, engineer, architect, escrow holder, etc.). Establishing time frames, responsibilities and expectations from the beginning improves efficiency and project effectiveness.
• Expediting title/ lien searches and examining those records early on for potential issues.
• Coordinating with subcontractors so their concerns can be dealt with in the early stages of the project.
• Advising on mechanic’s lien coverage and other title insurance needs of parties to the transaction
• Setting up sale escrow accounts for timely disbursements upon closing
• Title agency personnel can help homebuilders or developers establish ownership rights to property, ensuring local government that a project is worthy of proceeding. This can expedite plat approval. The title agency can also insure titles to individual lots in a development on a mass production basis, often at a reduced rate, so new owner’s policies can be promptly furnished to home buyers with a simple title update.
• Additionally, a pre-existing title insurance policy on the land makes construction loan financing considerably more attractive to a buyer’s lender. Construction loans can free up home builder’s cash flow and provide more investment opportunity.
