A buyer is purchasing a property and is concerned about the title, so she wants to have a title search performed. Who can perform the title search?

A property inspector focuses on evaluating the physical condition of a property, including structural integrity and safety issues. While important for assessing a property's value and livability, property inspectors do not have the expertise or authority to conduct title searches, which require legal and historical knowledge of property ownership.

While a buyer may have a vested interest in understanding the title, they typically lack the legal expertise and access to public records needed to perform a comprehensive title search. It is advisable for buyers to rely on professionals, such as title insurance companies, to ensure thorough and accurate investigations.

The buyer agent's brokerage agency may assist in the real estate transaction process, but they do not specialize in conducting title searches. Their primary role is to facilitate the buying process, provide market insights, and negotiate on behalf of the buyer, rather than to perform title investigations.
