Closing services
Preserve Title Company can serve as the central point for all of the realty document gathering and title settlement services you’ll need to complete your real estate transaction. Sellers can select our preferred title company upfront, and buyers can request to close with us during negotiations.
Warranties and security
Once you’ve purchased a new home, make sure that you’re covered when it comes to potentially costly replacement and repairs. RBFCU Insurance Agency partners with Cinch® Home Services to help you protect your home’s most essential systems and appliances.
Property appraisals
Our RBFCU Appraisal Team works with mortgage lenders to review homes for both buyers and sellers. The goal is to ensure properties are assessed and valued appropriately — which can give buyers and lenders greater peace of mind.
Insurance coverage
Your home is both an investment and a refuge. With the right insurance coverage in place, you can protect it. RBFCU Insurance Agency can help assess your coverage by providing a free quote. (And don't forget to ask how you might save money by bundling your home and auto insurance, too.)

How does the RBFCU Member Benefit Program work?
To be eligible for the credit, you must be an RBFCU member, use an RBFCU preferred real estate agent (Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty) and at least one preferred provider* (Domain Mortgage NMLS# 862516, Preserve Title Company or RBFCU Mortgage NMLS# 583215), and notify the RBFCU preferred real estate agent of your interest in the program prior to the projected closing date and execution of contract.
Buying a home
Choose an RBFCU preferred real estate agent as your buyer’s representative and use an RBFCU preferred mortgage lender for your home financing needs. A real estate transaction sales price below $3 million will receive a credit of $1,000 to apply towards closing costs and prepaid items. A real estate transaction sales price of $3 million or above will receive a credit of $5,000 to apply towards closing costs and prepaid items.
Selling a home
List your home with an RBFCU preferred real estate agent and RBFCU’s preferred title company for your escrow and title insurance needs. You will earn a credit of $1,000 at closing for a real estate transaction sales price below $3 million. For a real estate transaction sales price of $3 million and above, you will earn a credit of $5,000 at closing.
*Buyer is required to use Domain Mortgage or RBFCU Mortgage to finance the purchase of the property; Seller is required to use Preserve Title Company for the sale of the property to be eligible for the credit.

Should I get preapproved before talking to an RBFCU preferred real estate agent?
By securing a mortgage loan preapproval before starting the homebuying process, you’ll be better able to provide your agent with critical information about your purchasing power. Start the preapproval process now.

How do I choose an appraiser?
As the buyer of a property, you do not have to address any appraisal questions. RBFCU Mortgage or Domain Mortgage, an affiliate of RBFCU, will order a property appraisal to assess the true value of your selected property and to protect your interests.

When can I use Preserve Title Company?
There are several ways to use Preserve Title Company.
- When selling property through a real estate agent, instruct the agent to use Preserve Title Company as your closing agent.
- When selling a property on your own, include Preserve Title Company as the closing agent on your contract.
- When purchasing property, the seller normally chooses the title company to use, but it is still an item you can negotiate with the seller. Inform the seller and real estate agent of Preserve Title Company’s fees and settlement services.
- When refinancing your property, instruct your mortgage lender to use Preserve Title Company and ask them to fax their closing instructions to us.
- When building a home, instruct your builder and lender, if applicable, to use Preserve Title Company as your closing agent.
