What Is a Title Search?

The Foundation of Every Closing

A title search is a thorough review of all public records related to a property — going back 30+ years — to verify the seller has legal ownership and identify any outstanding claims, restrictions, or defects that could affect the title.

Without a proper title search, buyers can unknowingly inherit unpaid mortgages, tax liens, contractor judgments, or boundary disputes. Atlantic Title Firm's licensed examiners leave no record unturned.

What We Search

A Complete Title Examination

30-Year Title Search

We review the complete chain of ownership going back 30+ years, verifying every deed, mortgage, satisfaction, and transfer that has occurred on the property.

Lien & Judgment Search

We identify all recorded liens — including federal and state tax liens, contractor liens, HOA liens, code enforcement fines, and money judgments — that must be cleared before closing.

Property Tax Search

We verify current and prior-year property tax status, confirming that all taxes are paid or will be prorated correctly at closing to protect the buyer from inheriting delinquent taxes.

HOA Lien Verification

We check for unpaid HOA dues, special assessments, and association violations that could result in a lien against the property — a common issue in Florida communities.

Detailed Title Commitment Report

Upon completion, we issue a comprehensive title commitment report documenting all findings, open requirements to close, and a title insurance commitment from a top Florida underwriter.

48-Hour Rush Available

Need results fast? Our rush title search option delivers a completed search within 24–48 hours — ideal for investors, time-sensitive contracts, and pre-approval title reviews.
