And to complicate matters, chances are you're not selling your home to go travel the world and live out of a suitcase. You're probably moving into another home. Thus, you have the dual task of selling your current home and buying a new home at the same time. (For guidance on the latter topic, click on Buyer Overview.)

Every home is unique. So is every sale.
Whether you sell your home by yourself or use a real estate agent, certain steps have to be followed from beginning to end. That doesn't mean those steps will be predictable, however. Every buyer is different, and so is every negotiation. That's why bringing in a real estate attorney early on can help you get what you want out of the sale—and keep you from stumbling into any hidden pitfalls along the way.

And why should you listen to us?
We're glad you asked. Attorneys' Title Insurance Fund, Inc.—or simply The Fund—was created in 1948 in Orlando, Florida. The Fund is the nation's sixth-largest title insurance underwriter. With almost 25% of the state's title insurance market, we're by far the leader in Florida, which is the third largest title insurance market in the U.S. Not only do we underwrite over 300,000 title insurance policies every year, we also support over 6,000 attorney agents in Florida who practice real estate law.

We're not a public corporation. We're not owned by a conglomerate. We're here to support the real estate practices of our attorney members and their protection of the public. With over 50 years in the real estate profession, we have seen it all, and we'd like to share what we've learned with you.

Onward!
In the Seller section of this web site, we'll guide you through the steps from putting your home on the market to final sale. Although we're real estate attorneys, we know "legalese" isn't your first language, so we promise to cover all the issues you'll face in plain English.
