To say the last few weeks around the office of Federal Title & Escrow Company have been busy would be an understatement. As the clock counts down to the deadline for the federal homebuyer's tax credit, our staff is working diligently to facilitate as many smooth closings as possible.

Despite the bustle, our very own Todd Ewing was able to take some time out of his busy schedule yesterday to sit down with NPR business reporter Tamara Keith to speak about the mad dash of homebuyers hoping to close before the June 30 deadline.

The story appeared today during Morning Edition and aired here in Washington, D.C. and across the country. Here's a link to the story "Mad Dash as Homebuyer Tax Deadline Arrives" in case you missed it.

 

    Why title insurance?

Title insurance protects you and your real estate investment. Should a claim arise, title insurance covers losses and legal fees. It's generally required at closing, and homebuyers may select their closing company.

About 70 percent of closing costs that are variable are title related. People who close with Federal Title generally pay less.
