A signed contract doesn't automatically mean a smooth closing.
There are a lot of moving parts in a transaction, and some of the biggest challenges aren't discovered until the title work begins.
Existing liens. Survey issues. Ownership questions. Access concerns. Entity documents.
None of these are particularly exciting topics, until one of them threatens to delay a closing.
One thing I've learned working in title is that the earlier the right people start communicating, the more opportunities there are to address potential issues before they become problems.
I'm curious, for those of you working in real estate:
What's the most unexpected issue you've encountered during a transaction?
