Title Commitment

Mike Starr·Reviewed August 2026

A title commitment (also called a title binder) is a preliminary report issued by a title insurance company before closing that outlines the conditions under which it will issue a title insurance policy. It identifies the current property owner, any existing liens or encumbrances, and the requirements that must be met before the insurer will guarantee a clear title to the new buyer.
