On this episode of the podcast, we sit down with Riley Williams of J. Riley Williams, PLC to break down a part of the real estate transaction that most buyers and sellers don’t fully understand — the title company.
What does a title company actually do? Why does it matter who you choose? And what can go wrong if the title work isn’t handled correctly?
Riley walks us through:
What a title search really uncovers
How liens, judgments, and unpaid taxes can impact a deal
The difference between a title company and a real estate attorney
Why title insurance protects more than most people realize
What happens behind the scenes before you ever sit down at the closing table
If you’ve ever wondered why closing costs include title fees — or assumed the lender handles everything — this episode will clear it up.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer, seasoned investor, or agent navigating contracts daily, understanding the role of the title company is non-negotiable. One missed issue can derail a transaction — or cost you thousands down the road.
This is the episode that helps you protect your deal, your investment, and your peace of mind.
