    What Does Title Mean When Buying a House?

    Title is a foundational concept in real estate. Here's what it means and why it matters.

    Title refers to the legal ownership rights associated with real property. When you buy a home, you're taking title — becoming the legal owner.

    During a transaction, title work helps identify certain ownership, lien and other issues that may need to be addressed before closing. This protects the buyer and the lender.

    Title insurance helps protect against certain defects that might not be discovered during the title search.

    Jerry's previous title-company experience gives him familiarity with this part of the process — another piece of the transaction he understands from the inside.
