Protecting Your Home: Unlocking the Power of First American's Eagle Owner's Policy in National Homeowner's Month



June isn't just about celebrating dads and grads; it's also National Homeowner's Month, and this June marks the 242nd anniversary of the bald eagle's selection as our national emblem in 1782. These fun June facts set the stage perfectly to discuss an essential aspect of protecting your home: title insurance.

At Broker’s Title & Closing, we emphasize the importance of safeguarding your most valuable asset with the right coverage. Specifically, we highlight the Eagle® Policy from First American Title Insurance, offering the most comprehensive protection available for homeowners. This includes coverage for a wide range of issues, such as:

  • Building permit and zoning violations
  • Encroachment of improvements onto easements and setbacks
  • Subdivision violations
  • Restrictive covenant violations
  • Post-policy forgery
  • Post-policy encroachments by neighbors
  • Post-policy adverse possession
  • Post-policy easement by prescription

What sets the Eagle® Policy apart from standard title insurance? Let's consider a scenario: You decide to make improvements to your home and obtain the necessary permits. Later, it's discovered that the previous owner had made unpermitted improvements that are not up to code. This could lead to fines and remediation costs. While basic title insurance might leave you unprotected in such situations, the Eagle® Owner’s Policy ensures you're covered.

Similarly, if you inadvertently violate a restrictive covenant and face legal action from neighbors, standard title insurance won’t defend or indemnify you. However, our enhanced Eagle® Policy will provide the necessary protection.

Eagle® Policies are not limited to natural persons; they are also available for certain trusts and entities, as well as investment properties including multi-units, second/vacation homes, and rental properties.

Your home deserves the best protection available. For more information about title insurance and the Eagle® Policy offered at Broker’s Title & Closing, contact us today. Protect your home, your investment, and your peace of mind with the comprehensive coverage of the Eagle® Policy.
