Daniel S. Balkun, President & Founder, began his title-and-closing career in 2004 and opened the company in June 2016. Our Rhode Island office is at 33 College Hill Road, Building 10, Warwick. For an East Greenwich inquiry, one useful first check is whether the property is actually within the town, rather than relying on the mailing address alone.
Confirm the town before requesting the record
The East Greenwich Land Evidence page links both an East Greenwich street list and a separate list of Warwick streets using an East Greenwich ZIP code. That distinction matters when identifying the office responsible for a property's recorded documents. Give the closing team the actual municipality and available parcel information.
If the mailing address and municipal records appear different, bring that question forward. Do not choose a recording office based only on the postal description. For property that may extend across a municipal boundary, ask the professionals preparing and reviewing the documents what additional information is needed.
Use the right kind of record copy
East Greenwich's land-record system distinguishes online viewing images, purchased copies and certified copies. Ask the closing team what is needed for the particular task before ordering documents. A screenshot useful for an initial question may not be the form required for a later filing or legal review.
The town also describes different online coverage for indexes, document images and maps. If an older item is missing from the online view, do not assume the underlying document never existed. Share the reference with the person examining title so the appropriate records inquiry can be made.
Match the service to the transaction
For a purchase, explain the financing, property type and any recorded right that matters to how you expect to use the home. A seller should identify existing loans and any change in ownership or signing authority. A refinance may require new title and loan documentation even though the homeowner is staying in place.
Our title search services address the records-review part of the transaction. A survey, inspection, lender review or attorney's advice can have a different purpose. Ask which professional owns each unresolved question and how it will be brought back into the closing plan.
Title and escrow: compare the work, copies and funds
A title and escrow quote can contain several different categories. Ask which amounts cover professional work, proposed insurance, recording or copies, and which amounts are funds being held for the transaction. Comparing two totals without the scope can hide a difference in what is included.
Clarify how deposits and any credits appear in the final figures. Money handled for closing is different from a mortgage escrow account for future taxes and insurance. Verify payment instructions through an independently confirmed contact, and ask whether a changed date or property detail requires an updated breakdown.
Leave with a clear follow-up plan
Before signing, confirm the appointment, outstanding documents and the expected sequence for funding and recording. Ask how the team will communicate that recording is complete and when you should expect final documents. Keep the contact information with the closing file so a later question reaches the right person.
If you are planning a fence, addition or a different use of the property, raise it before your transaction depends on an assumption. Our survey-versus-title-search guide can help you separate the questions to ask; it does not replace property-specific professional review.

Before you get started
A few good questions.
Clear answers to help you take the next step.
Ask us a questionDoes an East Greenwich ZIP code establish the property's town?
No. The town's Land Evidence page separately lists Warwick streets with an East Greenwich ZIP code. Confirm the actual municipality and parcel before selecting records or preparing documents.
Where is Balkun's office for this area?
Contact our Warwick office at 33 College Hill Road, Building 10. Confirm your assigned team member and signing location before making appointment or travel plans.
Do I need a certified deed copy?
Ask the professional requesting the document. The right copy depends on its purpose; an online viewing image and a certified copy are not interchangeable for every task.
