At Trilogy Title Agency, we believe in full transparency. Below is a breakdown of common title-related fees and what each one covers. These fees may vary depending on the complexity of the transaction, property location, and transaction type (purchase or refinance).

This fee covers the cost of facilitating the closing process. It includes preparing the closing documents, managing the funds, coordinating with all parties, and overseeing the final signing.
A fee paid for the thorough review of public records to trace the property’s title history. This process helps identify any issues—such as liens, unpaid taxes, or ownership disputes—that need to be resolved before closing.
