Title insurance protects against ownership disputes, liens, or errors in public records that surface after closing. It's a one-time cost that protects you for as long as you own the home.

It's more than unlocking doors. A buyer's agent negotiates price and terms, coordinates inspections, reviews contracts, and manages deadlines — typically at no direct cost to the buyer.

Earnest money is a good-faith deposit showing you're serious about the purchase — typically held in escrow and applied to your down payment at closing. It's refundable in most situations covered by your contingencies.

Before you fall in love with a home, ask for the HOA's financial statements and rules. Dues can change, special assessments happen, and some restrictions affect resale more than people expect.
