FAQ
What is a title issue?
A title issue is a problem related to ownership, registrations, or items on title that may need to be addressed before closing. We can explain what it means in your situation once we review the file.
Can a deal still close if an issue comes up last minute?
Sometimes, yes. It depends on the issue and the timeline. Our role is to assess options quickly and tell you what is realistic.
What if my closing date is extremely soon?
Contact us right away. The earlier we see the documents, the more options we usually have.
Will title insurance help in a tight closing?
In some situations, title insurance can be a helpful tool when time is tight or certain requirements need an alternative solution. We can explain whether it is appropriate once we review the file details.
Do I need to contact my realtor or lender too?
Often yes. We coordinate with them as needed, but it helps if everyone is aware of the timeline and the issue early.
