A verbal agreement doesn't update the contract. 📑

Imagine the seller agrees to provide a $7,500 credit toward the buyer's closing costs. Everyone knows about it — but the addendum never makes it into the title file.

When the settlement statement is prepared, that credit may not be reflected because title didn't receive the documentation supporting the change.

🎃 Quick Tip: Anytime the financial terms of the deal change, send the fully executed addendum to title as soon as possible.

Don't make your closer hunt for missing paperwork at the eleventh hour. 👻

📍 Title Talk Thursday: Surveys Matter! 🏡

That fence, shed, driveway, or pool may look like it’s exactly where it belongs—but property lines can tell a different story! A current survey can uncover encroachments, boundary issues, and potential problems before they turn into closing-day surprises.

A little knowledge now = a smoother closing later. 🔑✨

🎒📚 CLASS IS BACK IN SESSION! 🍎✏️

The kids aren’t the only ones heading back to class — this week’s Title Talk lesson is Title Insurance 101! 🏡🎓

Today’s lesson: Why does title insurance matter?

📌 One-time fee: Unlike homeowners insurance, title insurance is typically paid once at closing.

🔎 We do the homework: Before closing, the title process includes researching the property’s history to identify issues that could affect ownership.

🛡️ Protect your investment: An owner’s title insurance policy helps protect your ownership rights from certain covered title issues — even after the closing is complete.

💡 Peace of mind: Because nobody wants a surprise pop quiz after they get the keys! 🔑😉

At Westside Settlement Advocates, we believe an educated buyer is a confident buyer, and we’re always happy to help explain the “why” behind the title process.

🍎 Today’s homework: Save this post and share it with someone getting ready to buy a home!

Smart knowledge today. Smooth closings tomorrow. 🎓🏡
