Pennsylvania

Closing in Pennsylvania? Consider it covered.

SmoothTitle is based in Wayne, New Jersey — but plenty of our closings happen on the other side of the Delaware. If you’re buying, selling, or refinancing in Pennsylvania, you get the same team, the same plain-English updates, and the same on-time closing day.

One agency, two states, zero confusion. We handle the paperwork differences so you never have to think about them.

PA vs. NJ

Two states, two rulebooks, one steady team

Pennsylvania and New Jersey both regulate title insurance, but they package it differently. In Pennsylvania, the filed rate is generally all-inclusive — the title search, examination, and related work are bundled into the premium you see. New Jersey itemizes more of those pieces as separate line items. Neither approach is cheaper or sneakier than the other; they’re just two ways of printing the same story. We work in both every week, so your estimate arrives in the right format for your state — no surprises at the table.

  • PA premiums are filed with the state, so pricing is consistent from agency to agency
  • All-inclusive PA rates mean fewer separate line items on your closing statement
  • We prepare PA-specific documents and handle local recording and transfer-tax requirements
  • You get one point of contact whether your deal is in PA, NJ, or one of each

How it works

Your Pennsylvania closing in three steps

The process feels the same on either side of the river. Here's what happens after you say go.

01

Tell us about your deal

Send us the basics — property address, purchase or refi, and your timeline. We'll confirm what Pennsylvania requires for your transaction and open your file the same day we hear from you.

Open an order
02

We search, examine, and clear

Our team digs into the county records, examines the chain of title, and flags anything that could slow you down — old liens, open mortgages, unpaid taxes. Then we work the issues so they're resolved before closing, not discovered at it.

03

Close and celebrate

We coordinate with your lender and agent, prepare the settlement, and run closing day itself. You sign, you get your keys, and your title policy protects you for as long as you own the home. That part deserves a toast.

Good to know

Pennsylvania questions, straight answers

Can't find your question? Ask us directly — a real person answers.

You're based in New Jersey — can you really handle my Pennsylvania closing?
Yes. We regularly close transactions in Pennsylvania and prepare everything to PA requirements, from the title commitment to recording with the county. You work with the same SmoothTitle team either way, and we coordinate a signing that's convenient for you.
How is title insurance different in Pennsylvania than in New Jersey?
The protection is the same idea in both states: a one-time premium that covers you against hidden title problems for as long as you own the property. The main difference is packaging — Pennsylvania's filed rates are generally all-inclusive, bundling the search and examination into the premium, while New Jersey breaks more of those services out as separate charges. We'll show you exactly how your estimate is built either way.
Do I need an attorney to close in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania doesn't require one — title companies like ours commonly conduct the settlement. Some buyers still choose to bring an attorney, and we're glad to work alongside yours if you do. Either way, we handle the settlement logistics from start to finish.
