** It costs $100.00 to order a status certificate. However, if you or your realtor have already ordered a status certificate, and if that status certificate will be less than 90 days old on your closing date, JTOverholt can use it and save you this additional $100.00 cost.

If you require the payout of additional mortgages, lines of credit, bridge loan security, notices of security interest, etc., additional legal fees and disbursements will be added to your invoice over and above the cost of the Condo Refinance Package.

Title insurance is an insurance product that protects homeowners and lenders from title fraud and other out-of-the-ordinary closing complications.

Because the cost of a title insurance policy varies with a transaction’s mortgage amount, please click here to obtain an approximate policy quote based on your unique circumstances. And please remember that said quotes are subject to change by the title insurer at any time.

Forget fighting through downtown traffic so you can drop into our office for a ten-minute signing appointment. Instead, enjoy the ease of us coming to you.

As your closing date approaches, we’ll contact you to book an appointment, and then we’ll meet you wherever you want within the greater London area (your place of business, your home, or even a coffee shop) to collect your signature.

Or, if you’d prefer, we have a downtown office we’d be happy to meet you at instead. It’s totally up to you!

Once your transaction has been completed, we’ll arrange delivery of your net refinance proceeds too!
