Your Little Rock Team
Andrew Adkins leads our Little Rock office, which closes roughly one in six of all real estate transactions in Pulaski County. The approach here is to do the work before you arrive: files are prepared and reviewed in advance, so the closing table is for signing rather than for solving problems, and most signings take only a few minutes. For complicated files, this is also the office other title companies in the market call when a transaction looks like it cannot be closed.

Little Rock Title & Closing FAQ
Clear answers to common questions about closing in Little Rock and Pulaski County.
-
Who pays for owner’s title insurance in Arkansas?
In Arkansas, the seller customarily pays for the owner’s title insurance policy and the buyer customarily pays for the lender’s policy, though either can be negotiated in your contract. Your closer will confirm exactly how it is split on your file.
-
How much does title insurance cost in Little Rock, Arkansas?
You pay for title insurance once, a single premium at closing, and we give you the exact figure up front so the cost never catches you off guard. What you pay is based on your deal: the purchase price sets the owner’s policy and the loan amount sets the lender’s policy, so a bigger purchase means a bigger premium. Arkansas does not set one statewide rate, and pricing can vary from one title insurance underwriter to the next, which is why there is no flat "it costs $X" answer. The surest way to know your number is to ask us, and we will have it ready well before you sign.
-
Where is my deed recorded in Pulaski County?
Deeds in Little Rock and the rest of Pulaski County are recorded by the Real Estate Department of the Pulaski County Circuit and County Clerk at 401 West Markham Street in downtown Little Rock. We handle recording for you as part of our standard closing workflow.
-
Do I need an attorney to close on a home in Arkansas?
No, Arkansas allows a title or abstract company to handle your closing. If a title issue comes up, our team works through it to keep your closing timeline on track.
-
Can you handle a title problem another company turned down?
Often, yes. Complex title work is what our Little Rock office is known for, and other title companies in the market refer files to us when a transaction looks like it cannot be closed. Broken chains of title, heirship questions, old unreleased liens, boundary and easement problems, and tangled entity ownership are routine here. Send us the file and we will tell you honestly whether there is a path to an insurable closing.
-
Do you close commercial, apartment, and rental property transactions?
Yes, and it is a core part of what this office does. We handle multifamily and apartment acquisitions, rental portfolios, retail and office transactions, and entity purchases across Little Rock and Pulaski County, including the endorsements and survey review your lender will require.
-
How long does a closing take at your Little Rock office?
The signing itself is usually brief, often under half an hour, because the work happens before you arrive. We prepare and review the file in advance so the closing table is for signing rather than for solving problems. Call us with your contract dates and we will tell you what is realistic for your transaction.
-
What’s the difference between a deed and a title?
A deed is the signed document that transfers ownership and gets recorded with the county. A title is your actual legal ownership of the property. The deed is how the title gets transferred to you.
-
How do I send my closing funds safely?
By wire transfer or certified/cashier’s check, never a personal check. Always verify wiring instructions by calling our Little Rock office directly before sending, using the number on this page rather than a number in an email.
