Property Abstracts

Property Abstracts was co-founded by Andrew Cooch and Kimberly Bowen more than 30 years ago. We search property titles in most counties in the State of Maryland.  We offer excellent service at competitive rates.

An important step in the settlement process, the property abstract, also known as the title abstract, will identify all previous owners of the property that is being bought, and will list any recorded deeds, titles, mortgages, easements, covenants, etc. The abstract documents that the seller is the valid and legal owner of the property, and is in a legal position to sell.  Property Abstracts will comb through all recorded documents to compile the history of the property and to ensure that all people with a legal interest in the property are parties to the sale.
