One of the services you will need when you purchase a house is that of the title company. In order to understand its role in the home purchase process, you need to check out what happens during the closing as well as the steps taken to make sure that it is successful. As you may already know, the closing is the final step in buying a house. In order for it to be successful, you will need a closing agent. If he was not able to do his job right, the transfer of ownership may not happen.
