With a special warranty deed, there could still be liens and judgements clouding the title of the home. In order to sell with a general warranty deed, a special warranty deed is required. Traditional financing usually requires a general warranty deed. A special warranty deed does not include title insurance. We do not provide title insurance at our office.
