Title Searchers and Examiners

Outlook

Employment of title searchers and examiners is expected to decline by 3 percent through 2029, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook. The health of the title insurance business is directly tied to the strength of the real estate market. In prosperous times, more people buy and sell real estate, resulting in a greater need for title searches. While the real estate business in America continues to operate during periods of recession, activity does slow a little. The real estate market has also been affected by the coronavirus pandemic, which has caused lockdowns, business closures, and an economic slowdown. Post pandemic, there will be more employment opportunities for title searchers and examiners. In general, title searchers and examiners can usually find consistent work in any area of the country with an active real estate market.
