Property descriptions haven't always been as straightforward as street addresses and lot numbers.

In this edition of Read the Deed, we're taking a look at one of the colorful ways land was described centuries ago—using landmarks that definitely wouldn't make it through a modern survey.

It's a fun glimpse into real estate history and a reminder of how much work goes into ensuring every property has a clear, accurate chain of title.

Every property has a story. Previous owners, recorded documents, easements, liens, and transfers all become part of that history.

Before you become the next chapter, title professionals work to ensure there aren't surprises waiting in the pages before you.

That's one of the many ways we help protect homeownership. 🙌

Your seller can’t make it to settlement.
Now what?

A lot of agents still assume the answer is simple:
📦 Overnight the documents.
🖊️ Find a local notary.
📬 Send everything back.

That’s not how modern settlements work anymore.

Today, title companies use controlled notary processes, meaning the notary must be arranged and approved through the title company. Sellers who can’t attend in person may need a coordinated mobile notary, Remote Online Notarization (RON), or an alternate settlement location.

The key?

Tell your title company early.

Last-minute coordination can create unnecessary delays, stress, and added costs. Early communication keeps your transaction moving toward a smooth settlement.

Most people don't think about title insurance until they're sitting at the closing table.
But its real value isn't what happens during settlement.

It's what happens if a problem surfaces after the keys are handed over.

Title insurance exists to protect homeowners from issues that may have been impossible to uncover before closing—giving buyers confidence that their investment is protected long after the transaction is complete.

In this short video, we break down the real impact of title insurance and why it's one of the most important protections in any real estate transaction.

Old liens, probate questions, trust documents, and ownership issues can delay a sale. Getting ahead of potential title concerns early can save everyone time and stress later.

The closing is in Maryland.
The lender is in Wisconsin.

What could go wrong?

More than you might think.

Real estate transactions don't happen in a vacuum. When parties are spread across different states, timelines, regulations, funding requirements, and communication challenges can create unexpected hurdles that put a closing at risk.

The good news? Most of these challenges can be managed when everyone understands the process and works together early.

In this real-world story, a seemingly straightforward transaction revealed how distance, timing, and coordination can complicate a settlement—and why experienced title professionals play such a critical role in keeping things moving.

Because a smooth settlement often depends on the details no one sees.
