Title company serving Miami Shores, FL
Skybridge Title closes home sales and refinances in Miami Shores, just south of our North Miami office. Miami Shores is a village of mostly single-family homes, many of them decades old, and older homes need a careful title search.
Why older homes need extra care
A home that has been renovated over the years can carry open or expired permits, additions that were never closed out, or old mortgages that were paid but never released in the records. Any of these can stop a closing. We order a municipal lien search from the Village of Miami Shores and check the county records early, so there is time to fix what we find.
Closing costs on a Miami Shores home
Miami Shores is in Miami-Dade, so single-family homes get the county's lower deed tax rate and the buyer usually pays the owner's title policy.

|---|---|---|
| $600,000 | $3,600 | $3,075 |

Frequently asked questions
What is an open permit and why does it matter?
A permit for work that was started but never got its final inspection. The city can hold it against the property, so it usually must be closed out before or at the sale.
Who pays for the title policy in Miami Shores?
By Miami-Dade custom, the buyer usually pays the owner's policy and chooses the title company. The contract can change this.
How long does a closing take?
A financed purchase usually takes 2 to 4 weeks from signed contract. Starting the title search early helps on older homes.
