North Little Rock Title & Closing FAQ
Clear answers to common questions about closing in North Little Rock and the surrounding area.
-
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 North 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 North Little Rock, Sherwood, Maumelle, Jacksonville, 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 I close on a North Little Rock property if I live out of state?
Yes. We close regularly for sellers and buyers who are not in Arkansas, including people relocating in or out of the area. We coordinate signing, funding, and recording remotely where the transaction allows it, and we tell you up front which documents have to be signed in front of a notary. Call us early and we will build the timeline around your move rather than the other way around.
-
Do you handle military relocations near Little Rock Air Force Base?
Yes. PCS orders move on dates that do not negotiate, and Jacksonville and the surrounding North Pulaski County market sees a steady stream of them. We coordinate with relocation companies, lenders, and VA loan requirements to keep the closing on the date you actually need.
-
Do I need to use a title company if I’m paying cash?
Paying cash means you have more of your own money at risk if a past title problem surfaces. It is a one-time premium that protects you for as long as you own the home. It is always best practice when purchasing real estate to have an owner’s title insurance policy.
-
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 North Little Rock office directly before sending, using the number on this page rather than a number in an email.
