Homeownership is the American dream, and it’s one of the most important steps that you will take in life. We don’t sell homes or provide mortgage loans, but we provide title insurance and settlement services when one purchases a home. If you are not sure whether to buy or rent, consider the information below which shows the amount of rent you might pay over the course of 30 years and the economic disadvantages it has when compared to buying.
