A Title Examiner is the one who examines real estate records and titles to determine who has the legal ownership of property. They also search for any liens that could preclude the buyer from taking complete ownership. This type of work is done in an office on a computer. Occasionally a Title Examiner's work might take him to find public recordings against the property, if the information isn't available with an online search. Public records are kept in public offices where records are available to be researched upon request.

How does one become a Title Examiner? Here are five steps that are suggested to make the path very straightforward:

''Step 1. Acquire the education to become a Title Examiner that is being required by the company you have an interest to pursue. This is at least a high school education, and may even be a bachelor's degree from an accredited college. Some employers look for paralegal training or real estate training and maybe just vocational training if you’re fortunate to get it in high school. The request can vary from no training, to an associate’s degree to a 4 year degree in business administration, banking, finance, real estate, or math, because these are good training for the position.

Step 2. Work as a title searcher and abstracter for two to four years prior before applying to be a Title Examiner. This work will prepare you for getting the position of Title Examiner.

Step 3. Verify details, and know how to read legal documents. Classes in law involved with titles and documents would benefit a Title Examiner.

Step 4. Know the restrictions on land due to liens and unpaid taxes. Learn how to search for these items and how they become attached to the property. When a lien is attached which collector has priority?

Step 5.  Understand real estate language and terms that are used by Realtors and mortgage companies.''1
Title Examiner can be a very interesting career choice and the salary is in line with the work. Title Examiners research for property ownership, prepare descriptions of properties and assist in preparing leases, grants, deeds and easements. The average salary is $36,500 per year but some recruiters have seen the salaries as high as $60,000 in 10% or the positions reviewed. The outlook for jobs is expected to be normal with a possibility of a negligible decrease due to the economic situation. Many people who might have been in real estate prior to the economic turn down might find a good shift to this occupation as their skills fit. It's a good place to be if your interests lead you there.
