What Is a Title Search? The Hidden Step That Can Make or Break Your Home Purchase!

Have you ever heard of a title search and wondered, “Do I really need that?” Spoiler alert: YES, you do! 🏡 Before you pop the champagne on your new home, there’s a behind-the-scenes hero working to protect your property rights—and it’s called the title search.

Hi, I’m Michael Brannon with Coldwell Banker Elite, your go-to real estate guide in Northern Virginia. In this episode of “What That Really Means – Real Estate Terms Broken Down,” I’m pulling back the curtain on what a title search actually is, why it matters, and how it could save you from a world of legal headaches.

Here’s the scoop: a title search is like a background check for your house. It digs into the property’s history to make sure the seller really owns it, checks for unpaid debts (liens), sneaky easements, or any ownership disputes that could haunt you after closing. If anything’s off, it gets fixed before you sign on the dotted line. And yes, that’s why title insurance is your new best friend!

Think of it as your home’s “clean bill of health”—because you want to know what you’re getting into before you commit, right? (Just like dating, but with fewer awkward dinners.)
