Monroe County Title Insurance

Monroe County Title Quote

Are you purchasing or refinancing property in Monroe County, Pennsylvania? You need to make sure you have title insurance. If you don’t have title insurance, your real estate transaction might not go through, and it has the potential to derail the entire transaction.

Your real estate agent or lender is probably going to offer a title insurance provider, but you should not feel compelled to choose that option. Instead, you need to exercise your right under federal law to choose your title insurance provider.

The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) allows you to do so, and that is where we can help you. We are World Wide Land Transfer, and we are a Pennsylvania title insurance company serving Monroe County. We have connections that we can use to help you find the right title insurance plan to meet your needs.

We understand that you may have a difficult time evaluating all of your options, and that is why you need to work with our real estate lawyer. We have a team in-house that will take a look at your mortgage documents and title paperwork with you at no additional charge. That way, you can decide which option is right for your needs.

We do not have any conflicts of interest because we are not affiliated with a real estate agent or bank. Contact us today to speak to our team, and let us help you find title insurance for your upcoming transaction.
