Title Services & Insurance — Handled With Personal Care
Licensed title insurance agent providing comprehensive title examination, insurance, and escrow services throughout Northeast Florida.
Protecting Your Ownership Rights
Title issues are one of the most common reasons real estate transactions fall apart. At Stromberg & Associates, we take a thorough, detail-oriented approach to title work because protecting your ownership rights is not something that should be rushed or automated.
Sam Stromberg is a licensed and bonded title insurance agent in the State of Florida. Every title examination, every insurance policy, and every escrow matter receives his personal attention — the same level of care whether it is a first home purchase or a complex commercial acquisition.
Title Examination
A thorough title examination is the foundation of every secure real estate transaction. We search public records to verify the property's ownership history and identify any issues that could affect your rights. Our title examination includes:
- Full chain-of-title search through public records
- Identification of outstanding liens, judgments, and encumbrances
- Review of easements, restrictions, and covenants
- Verification of legal descriptions and survey accuracy
- Resolution of title defects before closing
- Preparation of title commitment and final title opinion
Title Insurance
Title insurance protects you from financial loss if a title defect is discovered after closing — things like undisclosed heirs, forged documents, recording errors, or undiscovered liens. As a licensed title insurance agent, Sam Stromberg can issue both owner's and lender's title insurance policies.
Unlike some closing operations that outsource title work, we handle everything in-house. That means faster turnaround, more thorough examination, and direct communication when questions arise.
Escrow Services
We provide secure escrow management for earnest money deposits and closing funds. Every dollar is accounted for in our trust account, held in compliance with Florida Bar regulations. You will receive clear documentation of all escrow activity, and Sam is available to answer questions directly throughout the process.
Why Work With a Licensed Title Agent Who Is Also Your Attorney?
Many buyers and sellers do not realize there is a difference between a title company and a title agent who is also an attorney. When Sam Stromberg handles your title work, you get legal expertise combined with title services — one professional who can identify legal issues, resolve them, and close the transaction.
This means fewer delays, fewer surprises, and a smoother path to closing. It is one of the reasons realtors and lenders throughout Jacksonville Beach and Northeast Florida refer clients to Stromberg & Associates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does title insurance cover?
Title insurance protects against losses from title defects that were not discovered during the title search — such as forged deeds, undisclosed heirs, recording mistakes, and undiscovered liens. It is a one-time premium paid at closing.
Is title insurance required in Florida?
Lender's title insurance is typically required by mortgage lenders. Owner's title insurance is optional but strongly recommended. It protects your investment for as long as you or your heirs own the property.
How long does a title search take?
A standard title search typically takes 5 to 10 business days. If issues are found, resolution time varies. We communicate any findings promptly and work to resolve them efficiently so your closing stays on schedule.
