Welcome to Insurance in Real Estate!

Insurance requirements have become such an integral part of the real estate and loan transaction, that they must be included in any comprehensive discussion of real estate finance. Every purchase transaction will require title insurance, and every mortgage will require homeowners insurance. In some situations, lenders may also require flood insurance and/or mortgage insurance.
