Its just like selling real-estate were you dont need that agent....anisews original post above.
yes --- without the words "title insurance" stated ANYWHERE therein, which was exactly my point.
Perhaps it's a matter of misunderstood terminology.... In Florida, for example, all *non-timeshare* real estate transactions are completed through title companies. Title insurance may not be involved (or even available). In Massachusetts, as another example, title companies don't even exist at all (lawyers handle all real estate transactions). In timeshare transactions, closing entities are generally regarded and referred to as CLOSING companies (many of whom cannot and do not offer title insurance at all). As always, the devil is in the details...
