For a moment in time, I get to orchestrate the moving parts and obstacles that most people never fully see…

And when it all comes together, there’s a quiet kind of accomplishment in knowing that behind someone’s new beginning was a process handled with quick thinking, precision, and solutions all to carry across the finish line.

Myth Busters - Understanding a contract and where responsibility lies.

Myth 6️⃣: title is responsible for delivering contract and amendments to the lender

Truth: title is not a party to the contract. The licensed agents or their TC should be delivering documents to all parties. Lenders should be checking with agents directly for these documents.

We can forward them as a courtesy; however the responsibility of delivery rests on the agents.

Myth 5️⃣: Title is tracking your appraisal.

Truth: that’s not our lane. The appraisal is ordered and managed by the lender. Title does not have visibility into it, we’re not notified when it’s complete, and it has zero bearing on our work. Two parallel tracks.

It’s best to check with the lender directly for status of the appraisal.

Myth Busters - Understanding a contract and where responsibility lies.

Myth 4️⃣: title is responsible for ordering HOA documents.

Truth: title can place an order as a courtesy if asked; however, it is the buyer/seller responsibility to deliver these documents as outlined in the contract. Always check with title to see if they are ordering the HOA docs. Assuming could cost you and every closer is different.

Myth 3️⃣: title manages contract timelines

Truth: The licensed real estate agents have a fiduciary duty and are legally and professionally responsible for managing contract timelines and keeping their clients informed. Title is not a party to the contract.

Myth Busters - Understanding a contract and where responsibility lies.

Myth 2️⃣: title is responsible for ordering survey

Truth: title is not a party to the contract and has no contractual obligation to order survey. Procuring and delivery of the survey are the buyer/seller’s responsibility as outlined in the contract.

Verify if title will order this as a courtesy. Even then the responsibility still rests on the parties of the contract.

Myth Busters Series - Understanding a contract and where responsibility lies.

Myth 1️⃣: title requires survey

Truth: We follow the terms in the contract. The contract and the coverage the lender is requesting on the lender’s policy dictate whether or not survey is a requirement for closing.

There are few times that title originates a survey requirement and usually involves an easement or boundary issue.

Morning thoughts on AI as I watch it play out daily in the professional realm.

AI can enhance creativity, but it can’t replace originality and that’s still the currency of trust. Originality requires self awareness and critical thinking.

Take writing for example back when we read blogs. If typos and grammatical errors were present, the writer lost credibility with their audience; it signaled carelessness, lack of investment and disrespect for the readers time. We all learned it in college composition.

Real estate is a relationship business built on “know, like, trust.” When a client meets an agent in person after seeing an AI polished version of them online, the disconnect is immediate and it starts the relationship with a subtle sense of deception.

We can compare this to online dating. All of us have friends, or first hand experience complaining about the use of filtered photos leaving people feeling catfished; same concept.

You show up ten years older, twenty pounds different, with a different energy than the curated AI version projected and that gap costs you before you even say a word; same as aged business card photos.

I get it, it’s fun. But think about the public perception and how it potentially degrades trust which is exactly what you are trying to build, no?

Final thought: peer validation is not the same as professional validation.
