The Lexington Park market is no exception. Of course, this is contrary to good sense but since most people will go ahead with the Buy then Sell approach. Lexington Park Real Estate Title InsuranceBuying a new home is the single largest financial investment for most families but there are risks. What if the seller doesn’t really own the home? What if there are mortgages, judgements or liens against the property? What if the property taxes have not been paid for several years?
