Jim sits down with Brett Haller, aka “Your Go-To Title Guy,” from Express Title to unpack the vital role title companies play in home buying and selling. With 14 years of experience in real estate, Brett brings a wealth of knowledge from both the buying side and title side of the transaction.
What Does a Title Company Do?
- A title company acts as the glue that holds a real estate transaction together, coordinating between buyers, sellers, lenders, and agents.
- They ensure the property’s title is free of encumbrances, liens, or other legal issues before ownership is transferred.
- Title companies handle escrow deposits, verify all necessary documentation, and oversee the closing process to finalize the sale.
The Title Process:
- Start with a Contract: Once a contract is signed, the title company opens a file and begins coordination.
- Title Search & Municipal Search: They check for issues like unpaid liens, open permits, and ownership disputes.
- Resolving Issues: If problems arise (e.g., permits, probate), they work to resolve them quickly to avoid delays.
- Closing Coordination: They ensure all parties—buyers, sellers, lenders, and insurers—are prepared and all documents are accurate and signed.
Common Title Issues:
- Probate Issues: Previous ownership complications.
- Fraud: Ensuring sellers are legitimate owners.
- Unpermitted Additions: Unresolved permits can delay or derail a transaction.
Title Insurance:
- Owner’s Policy: Protects buyers from future title disputes.
- Lender’s Policy: Required by lenders to safeguard their investment.
Tips for Buyers & Sellers:
- Stay Organized: Know your deadlines for deposits, inspections, and other contingencies.
- Respond Promptly: Provide requested documents (e.g., bank statements) quickly to avoid delays.
- Ask Questions: Be proactive, especially when dealing with new construction or complex contracts.
