Selling on your own? We take care of the title and closing work so you can focus on finding a buyer. Title and closing services for Wellington-area deals are provided by Level 10 Title.
Title and closing services provided by 
Going the FSBO route gives you more control over the sale and can save you money on agent commissions. But it also means you're responsible for the title search, title insurance, closing setup, and all the paperwork that comes with transferring ownership.
That's where a lot of FSBO sellers get stuck. Without an agent handling the coordination, you need someone in your corner who knows the title and closing process inside and out.
Here's the good news: you don't have to figure it out alone. At Wellington Title Company & Closing Services, we handle the title search, insurance, closing setup, and all the paperwork. You focus on selling — we'll handle the rest. Title and closing services are provided by Level 10 Title.
We do a thorough title search to find any problems with the property's title — liens, mortgages, errors, or anything else that could delay or derail the sale. We find issues before the buyer's attorney does.
We issue title insurance policies for both you and the buyer. The buyer's lender will require a lender's policy. Owner's insurance protects the buyer — and helps make the deal more attractive. See Florida rates.
We schedule the closing, prepare all the documents, coordinate with the buyer's side, and make sure everything is ready for signing. We handle the communication so you don't have to.
Here's everything we handle so you can focus on selling your Wellington property:
We pull all relevant public records and do a full title search. We look for liens, mortgages, errors, and anything else that could affect the sale. If we find problems, we help you resolve them before listing.
If the title search finds problems — an old lien, a missing signature, a recording error — we work with you to get them fixed. This might involve paying off liens, obtaining releases, or correcting records. We handle the details.
We review the purchase contract to make sure it includes the necessary provisions for title insurance, closing costs, and the transfer of ownership. We help you understand what's standard in Florida and what to watch out for.
We issue the title insurance policies — both the lender's policy (required by the buyer's bank) and the owner's policy (protecting the buyer). In Florida, the seller typically pays for the owner's policy. See who pays for what.
We prepare the settlement statement, all closing documents, and coordinate the fund transfers. We make sure everything is accurate and ready for closing day. See our closing services page for more details.
On closing day, we oversee the document signing, fund transfers, and deed recording. After closing, we deliver all final documents and make sure everything is properly filed with Palm Beach County.
When you sell without an agent, you need a reliable title company more than ever. Here's why:
Working with a licensed title company gives your FSBO listing more credibility. Buyers feel more comfortable knowing a professional is handling the title work and closing. It makes the deal feel legitimate.
A thorough title search catches problems early — before they derail the sale. Without a title company, you might not find out about a lien or title defect until closing day (or after).
Title insurance protects both you and the buyer from hidden title problems. Without it, you could face lawsuits or financial losses if a title issue surfaces after the sale.
A closing involves a lot of moving parts — documents, funds, recording, insurance. Having a professional handle the details means fewer mistakes and a smoother transaction.
If the buyer is getting a mortgage, the lender will require a title search and lender's title policy. You can't skip this step — you need a title company involved regardless.
While you'll pay for our services, you're saving money by not paying a listing agent's commission (typically 2.5-3% of the sale price). Our flat closing fee of $695 is a fraction of that.
In Florida, the seller typically pays for the owner's title insurance policy. This is the policy that protects the buyer — not you. But it's an important part of the deal because:
Most buyers — especially those getting a mortgage — expect the seller to provide owner's title insurance. Not offering it can make your property less attractive compared to agent-listed homes.
If the buyer has a mortgage, the lender will require a lender's title insurance policy. This is non-negotiable. The buyer typically pays for this one. See who pays for what in Florida.
Title insurance rates in Florida are regulated by the state. Every title company charges the same base rate. What differs is the service, the team, and the local knowledge. See our full rate schedule.
Here are some practical tips for selling your Wellington property without an agent:
Don't wait until you have a buyer to do a title search. Get one done before you list so you know exactly where you stand. If there are problems, you'll have time to fix them without delaying the sale.
In Palm Beach County, the seller typically pays for the owner's title insurance, and the buyer pays for the lender's policy and closing fee. But everything is negotiable. See our pricing page for a full breakdown.
Without an agent, you need to make sure every agreement is in writing — from the purchase price to the closing date to who pays for what. We can help you understand what should be in the contract.
Even in a FSBO deal, the buyer will likely want a home inspection. This is standard. Be prepared for the buyer to negotiate based on the inspection results. We handle the document changes if the deal terms need to be adjusted.
Wire fraud is a serious risk in real estate transactions. Never send wire instructions by unencrypted email. Always verify wire instructions by phone. We take wire fraud seriously and provide clear guidance to keep your funds safe.
Even if you're saving money by not using an agent, don't try to handle the title work yourself. The title search, insurance, and closing process are too important to get wrong. A professional title company is worth the cost.

FSBO title work is just one piece of the puzzle. Here are the other services we offer in the Wellington area:
Yes. Even without an agent, you need a title company to do the title search, issue title insurance, and handle the closing. If the buyer has a mortgage, the lender requires it. Even in cash deals, title insurance protects both parties from hidden problems.
In most Palm Beach County FSBO deals, the seller pays for the owner's title insurance policy and the buyer pays for the lender's policy. The closing fee is typically paid by the buyer. But everything is negotiable in the purchase contract. See our pricing page for details.
You'll pay for the owner's title insurance premium (based on the sale price — see our rate schedule) and potentially half of the closing fee. The buyer typically pays for the lender's policy and the other half of the closing fee. We'll give you a detailed estimate when you contact us.
It's common to find issues — that's why we do the search. Most problems can be resolved before closing. We work with you to fix liens, correct errors, and clear the title. If serious issues come up that can't be resolved, you may need to renegotiate with the buyer. See our title search page for more details.
You can look at public records yourself, but a professional title search is much more thorough. Our team knows what to look for, where to find it, and how to interpret the results. More importantly, a professional search allows us to issue a title insurance policy — which you can't get on your own.
Simple — contact us with your property details and deal information. We'll set up the file, start the title search, and guide you through the entire FSBO closing process. You can also call us directly at (561) 956-3829.
We'll handle the title and closing so you can focus on selling your Wellington property. No agent needed.
