Request a property profile for a South Bay or Westside address
Ownership, vesting, tax, and transfer history for one address. This is not a preliminary title report.
What a property profile is
A property profile is a courtesy report on one address: who owns it, how title is vested, the tax picture, and the transfer history. It is the sheet an agent reads before a listing appointment or a buyer call. It is not a preliminary title report. A prelim is produced after a title order is open, and it is the document escrow and the lender work from. If you are already in contract, open an order. A profile will not insure a buyer or clear a lien.
Agents use profiles on South Bay and Westside addresses: Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes, El Segundo, Culver City, Playa Vista, Venice, Santa Monica, and the rest of the markets the team covers. The request is for one parcel or one unit, not a whole neighborhood.
What to send
The form asks for the street address, city, state, and ZIP. Your name and email are required so the report can be returned. Phone and brokerage are optional and help when a unit number or a lot split needs a confirmation. Use the notes box if you need a particular recorded item called out, or if the address is a condo and the unit number is easy to miss.
If what you actually need is the title company's preliminary report for an escrow, use the prelim request. That form opens the file. This one asks for a profile on an address.
Questions
- Is a property profile a preliminary title report?
- No. A profile is a courtesy look at ownership, vesting, tax, and transfer history. A prelim comes from an open title order and lists the exceptions and requirements for a policy.
- What address details do you need?
- Street address, city, state, and ZIP. Add the unit number in the notes when the property is a condo.
- Who is this for?
- Agents preparing for a listing conversation or a buyer call. Escrow and lenders with a live file should open a title order.
