When purchasing a home, you want to be as knowledgeable about the property as you can. Buying a property is a huge investment, and it’s important to understand the history of the property and be aware of any other information associated with it. The best way to do so is with a property search, and there are two main forms of this: a title search and a lien search. If you’re not familiar with either, you’re probably wondering, “Which one is the best choice?” or “what’s the difference between the two?” Let’s explore these questions.

If I were to mention code enforcement rules and regulations in a conversation, most people would automatically tend to think of Home Owner’s Association standards and assume I’m talking about houses being painted an “off” color, or yards not being maintained to a certain standard. Although some municipalities have code regulations that cover this spectrum, code enforcement, in general, goes much deeper than just the outward aesthetics your home or yard.

We at Elite think our staff are pretty awesome and want to give you the pleasure to get to know them as well!

80% of properties researched have some sort of issue to be addressed that is NOT included in their title search.
