Southern Capital Title

Southern Capital Title is a title and escrow company that handles real estate closings for buyers, sellers, real estate agents and lenders. Its work starts with a thorough title search to confirm ownership and uncover liens or other issues, followed by a title insurance policy that protects the buyer's investment. The team also clears liens, prepares closing documents, handles escrow funds, and works with lenders across the country on FHA, VA, conventional, construction and commercial loans.

A title insurance policy carries a one-time premium with no renewal costs. Closings usually take 30 to 45 days from contract, though financing and title clearance can change that, and the signing itself typically takes about an hour. Buyers should bring a government-issued photo ID, and any wire funds go through the company's secure instructions. The Maitland office is one of several in Florida, with others in Jacksonville, Boca Raton and St. Augustine.
