Council Bluffs TItle & Escrow

Council Bluffs Title & Escrow is a title company in Council Bluffs, IA. It handles residential and commercial title services and abstracting, serving Southwest Iowa and the surrounding areas. Its work covers every type of real estate transaction, from leasing and development to the acquisition, financing and development of residential multi-family and single-family homes, and real estate purchases and sales for individuals. It also prepares and enforces covenants for property owners' associations, and offers closing services with fee schedules for lending institutions. Abstracting services are provided to lenders and processing companies, with O&E reports that include vesting information and a copy of the current vesting deed, pending lawsuits filed within the land records, and tax information including where payments should be made. A Pre-Foreclosure report gives a foreclosure attorney or lender a picture of the matters associated with a property, covering vesting, pending lawsuits, tax information, assignments and where notices should be sent, copies of all open items, information on any "out sale" of part of the subject property, and probate matters affecting the property. The company also handles REO work. Closings are prepared and conducted according to the terms agreed upon in the sales contract. A homeowner's insurance policy is required by the lender, and the insurance agent must call the company with the new policy information so final closing figures can be prepared. Anyone in the transaction who cannot attend must notify the lender and the company at least 3 business days before closing and execute a Specific Power of Attorney, subject to lender approval. The company accommodates extended hours, a closing location convenient to the client, and weekend access. The office is at 501 S Main St in the Kiel Building, a short walk from Council Bluffs City Hall, Council Bluffs Community Hall, Council Bluffs Fire Department Station 1 Headquarters, and the Council Bluffs Public Library, all about 0.1 miles away. Council Bluffs Title & Escrow holds a rating of 3.00.
