About Portland, N.E. Portland, and Gresham
PORTLAND
The City of Roses, The City of Bridges, The
City of Parks--all of these appellations refer to the city recently named
"North America's Best Big City" by Money magazine: Portland Oregon. Full of
friendly people and surrounded by breathtaking scenery this city has gained
national distinction for being one of the best places to live.
The climate is mild, the water is clean, and
natural wonders are just around the corner. The city of Portland prides itself
on its lively local scene, accessible public transportation and public minded
spirit.

of Portland. There are dozens of school districts, private schools and several
community and state colleges within the Portland area, which reflect both the
community's commitment to education and affordable higher learning. The city of
Portland offers a comprehensive program of health care, with excellent

proactive focus on education with a strong emphasis on neighborhood
involvement. With a collaborative school district and the Mt. Hood Community
College, Gresham residents are dedicated to imbuing students with life-long

Insurance >The Purpose of Title Insurance
When you finance a home through a lender, you will be required to purchase title insurance to cover the amount of your mortgage loan. At the closing you will be given the option to buy additional coverage to protect your investment.
Before the closing, the title company will order a title report to make sure the sellers actually own the home and that no one else has a legal interest in the property. This process will identify any potential title problems or liens. Title insurance covers you against any future claims that did not appear on the title report. It is a one-time charge that you pay at the closing of the transaction, and it covers your future equity up to a stated maximum amount as your property increases in value. It's a small price to pay to protect such a major investment.
