So if you feel that someone somewhere could come and lay claim to your tiny bit of this huge development, get the policy but hold out for a second offer. They’re just trying to get as much money as possible out of every sale.

We bought a home in 2019 and the closing document shows a charge of 1700 for title insurance from the sellers funds. Did the seller get ripped off? This was all done through Peninsula Land and Title. I never met the seller until months after the sale because we closed over the phone using docusign.
