Title attorney: that'll be $2000 for me to google the address and another $500 for the insurance policy in case i frick up.

Every house I've ever bought the title fees were pretty reasonable compared to the lender's origination fees, the commissions, the homeowner's and flood insurance, etc.

And it's a little more than somebody googling the address . It's a pretty big purchase for most people, so it's not an investment you want to leave up to a minimum wage employee just "googling around."

You obviously don't know what it covers, and obviously don't know anybody that's had to file a claim. But it's optional, so go ahead and take the risk on your next house. After all, you could just DIY and google around yourself
