Wednesday Wisdom

Just because your tax assessment says one thing doesn’t mean your house will sell for that amount.

And just because Zillow says another thing doesn’t make it gospel either. 😉

The market doesn’t care what Zillow thinks, what the tax assessor thinks, or what your cousin’s friend’s neighbor got three years ago.

The market cares what buyers are willing to pay TODAY.

If you’ve been wondering what your home is worth in this market, let’s talk!!

MONDAY MOTIVATION

Some people see a Monday…
I see fresh listings, new beginnings, answered prayers, and doors getting ready to open.

Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a chapter of your life, or still praying for “someday” ….don’t give up. The right timing matters, and so does the right person beside you through the process.

This week’s reminder:
Progress is still progress, even when it feels slow.
Every showing, phone call, and late night is building something bigger.
God’s timing is always worth trusting.

Here’s to a week of opportunities, contracts, foo foo drinks, and maybe a little controlled chaos.

Realtors can have fun!!! For me, having fun is being at church! Even when it’s NOT Sunday!!!
What about you?

Today was closing day!!!! So excited for my sweet seller, Miss Susie, and my amazing buyer Santos!

A real estate title company is a company that makes sure a property has clear legal ownership and handles the paperwork and money transfer at closing. They help ensure the property can legally be sold. The title company does three important things related to the transaction:

1️⃣ Conduct a title search
2️⃣ Issue title insurance
3️⃣ Manage the closing process

During the title search, they review public records to confirm the seller legally owns the property, and there are no unpaid liens (tax liens, contractor liens, judgments), ownership disputes, or unknown claims against the property. If something is found, it must usually be resolved before closing.

Title companies typically issue two title insurance policies. The lender’s policy - required for financed purchases - which protects the lender, and the owner's policy - optional but highly recommended - which protects the buyer. Title insurance protects against future claims related to past ownership issues.

In many states, the title company:

Prepares closing documents
Coordinates with the lender
Collects and disburses funds
Records the deed and mortgage
Ensures everyone signs correctly

Without a title company (or attorney managing title work), buyers could unknowingly purchase property with legal issues, sellers could face delays due to unresolved liens, and lenders would not fund the loan

Bottom line: A title company protects ownership rights and ensures the transaction is legally clean from contract to recording.
