Title Insurance for Real Estate Professional Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is not just for real estate professionals. It can be used by paralegals, notary signing agents, homeowners, ... anyone and everyone who is involved in real estate transactions and who wants to gain a better understanding of what title insurance is and is not. It's an excellent text for self study, and it lends itself well for use in a classroom for continuing education courses. It can be used by the novice as well as the expert.
Each of the 6 chapters begins with a set of clearly defined learning objectives. You will know from the beginning what you will be able to do when you have completed the chapter. There is also a list that contains many key terms. Just about every conceivable term that relates to title is included in these lists. At the end of the reading there is a summary. Each chapter concludes with review questions to test your knowledge. There are also stimulating discussion topics. You can attempt to answer them on your own, or they can be used by classroom participants.
It would require too many words to say in this review what you will learn from this book. There is so much that you will learn. This is one of the most thorough treatments of title insurance that you will find. You will learn what title companies do, what title insurance is and the benefits of it, the truths about title insurance versus the many myths about it, how to read a title commitment, all of the things that can affect title, the various types of title insurance policies, the steps involved in the title insurance process leading up to the closing and issuance of a title policy, the role of the title abstractor and other key participants in the title process, and so much more. There is not a single wasted word in this textbook.
The last several pages, which make up the appendix, contain title insurance forms and samples. You will be able to see what an actual title insurance policy looks like and all of its stipulations. In addition to the key terms listed in each chapter, there is a glossary of terms at the back of the book. If you answered the review questions at the end of the chapters, you can evaluate yourself with the answers that are provided at the end of the book.
The author, Jeanine Johnson, is highly qualified to write a book on this subject, having served in many different positions and facets in the title insurance industry. If you're looking for just one book to learn about title insurance, I highly recommend this textbook.
