In Florida, the person who pays for the title insurance gets to pick the title company or title agent. The person paying (buyer or seller) for the owners title insurance policy is specified in your real estate sales/purchase contract. Tradition as to who normally pays for the owners title insurance policy varies according to the county that the property is located, but can always be negotiated between the parties in the contract. In the case of a refinance, you should know that you probably have an existing owners title insurance policy from when you bought your property and you can give a copy of the owners title policy to whoever is handling the title insurance for your refinance so that you will be entitled to a reissue credit. This can save you a significant amount of money. Probably the most important thing to remember is that whoever is paying for the owner's title insurance policy gets to pick the title company. Almost equally important is understanding that you should compare companies so that you can make sure you are getting the best price for title insurance and title-related fees, as well as the best service from a reputable company. Remember not to let someone else (like a realtor or mortgage broker) pick a service that you will be paying for unless you have personally compared their price and service with that of other companies. It is illegal to for a realtor to steer you in the direction of a particular company, and you should be aware that sometimes unethical relationships exist.
