Property title: what the record shows
Title is who owns a property, as the public record shows it.
Your Homeowner Research Document traces every owner and recorded interest in your property, connected and dated, with alerts when anything changes.

Deeds, mortgages and other title records
- Deeds. The documents that move ownership from one owner to the next.
- Mortgages and assignments. Loans secured by the property, and the papers showing who holds each loan now.
- Releases and satisfactions. Records that a mortgage or lien was paid or released.
- Liens and judgments. Claims for money owed. More on liens.
- Court notices. A notice filed when a lawsuit affecting the property begins, such as a foreclosure in a state where foreclosure goes through court.
Deeds and mortgages are recorded in the county where the property sits. See how title records work for New York City properties.
Title research for your property
Homeowner Research Document
Research and data built around your property’s title record:
- Every record, found and sourced. Each deed, mortgage, assignment, release, lien and court notice recorded against your property, with where it came from.
- Connected. Each deed tied to the one before it, and each mortgage to its assignments and release, so the history reads as one story.
- The numbers. Amounts and dates on each deed and mortgage, and how often the same kinds of filings show up across similar homes.
- Homes like yours. The public records of homes with similar title filings, set beside your own.
- Kept current. Alerts when a new deed, mortgage, lien or notice is recorded against your property.
It is not title insurance. For a quiet title matter, see quiet title research.
If you are facing foreclosure, it includes a full report on your foreclosure file.
The price is quoted for your document, based on the research it needs.
Not offered for properties in California or New Jersey, where we coordinate attorney referrals only.

Free help is also available.
You do not have to pay anyone for help with a foreclosure. HUD-approved housing counseling agencies give free counseling nationwide. Call 1-800-569-4287 or visit hud.gov. Many states and counties also run free foreclosure prevention programs. We want you to know about them, whether or not you ever hire us.
If you have a sale date or a court date coming up, call a licensed attorney today.
