Our Services
At AFX Research, we specialize in delivering precise, certified title research services tailored to the unique needs of our clients. Whether it's a property ownership verification, lien search, or detailed title report, we ensure accuracy, compliance, and efficiency in every report.
From verification of the current owner of record to the legal description of the property, our certified title researchers confirm vesting and chains of title against official public records before any transfer of ownership.
Our title search reports include federal tax liens, mechanics liens, tax liens, and other encumbrances that may affect a real estate transaction. These financial burdens need to be identified to mitigate risks before the closing process.
AFX Research provides mortgage lenders, mortgage brokers, and title companies with verifications of outstanding debt, loan modifications, and foreclosures — documenting every financial interest in the property for accurate closing costs.
