Realtors’ FAQs About Florida Titles
Our Title Group for Realtors Answers Common Questions About Florida Titles
Many questions arise during this stage of a real estate transaction. We are happy to field our clients’ inquiries and invite you to reach out if you have any of your own. Below are a few of the questions we regularly receive, including a short answer for each.
-
A seasoned real estate title group for realtors will perform title work and closing services.
-
When a seasoned Florida real estate title group for realtors is handling your title services, you can expect them to find problematic issues during the process. When they encounter a snag, you will be quickly notified to discuss the next steps.
Depending on the nature of the problem, you may need additional guidance or some work done.
-
When the title is free and clear, and there are no issues, the entire process should not take longer than ten business days. After that, a closing day meeting will be scheduled, which shouldn’t last more than a few hours. During this final meeting, the buyer and seller sign the papers and breathe a sigh of relief, and you, as the realtor, get paid.
However, if there are title problems, it’s reasonable to expect a delay, depending on the issue. Whether there is a delay and how long the delay lasts depends heavily on the professional you use for your title services.
Having the right title group for realtors on your side can make a big difference. Turn to the team at Pillar Title Group for skilled support for your real estate transaction. Give us a call today at 904-206-7036.

Problems Our Title Group Can Resolve for Realtors
We Are Committed to Resolving Your Title Issues and Getting You Through Closing
If title searches were problem-free, there would be no need for seasoned professionals to tackle the issues that arise. However, title searches are far from being free of problems. In fact, seasoned professionals in the title services industry know that problems with titles are to be expected, so they’re ready for them.
Public Records Errors
Public real estate records sometimes contain errors that need to be fixed before a title can be cleared. Oftentimes, the errors have no significant impact on the business of your typical buyer and seller. However, the mistakes must be resolved for the transaction to continue through closing.
When you work with an experienced title group, they quickly and efficiently find and remedy public records errors, which means a faster closing for your clients.
Liens
Property liens are a way for individuals, businesses, and governments to attempt to get payment from a party for a variety of reasons. When it’s a government agency that has the lien, the reason for the lien is often a county or federal tax debt or a child-support lien.
When the lienholder is an individual, the reason for its existence may be a failure to pay for services rendered. For example, contractors can put a mechanic’s lien on a piece of property when the owner of the property fails to pay for services they received.
A lien must be resolved before the property can be sold. Usually, this requires payment of the financial obligation forming the basis of the lien.
Foreclosures
Foreclosures can create title messes that require an in-depth knowledge of real estate and property law to clear up. For example, foreclosures sometimes omit subordinate interests. However, these interests still exist and must be addressed before the title is deemed clear.
Newly Discovered Will
A title search might uncover an old will deeding the property to another person. If this is the case, then the property cannot be sold unless the beneficiary of the will consents. This consent could be difficult to obtain and may prove costly, depending on the situation.
Additionally, if the beneficiary of the will has passed on, then the circumstances may get even more complex. The heirs of the beneficiary would likely have to be contacted. Regardless, an undiscovered will is an eventuality you want to have handled by an experienced professional with options.
Unknown Heir
Even if all of the wills have been accounted for, an unknown heir may still make an appearance and potentially spoil the transaction. If a previous owner of the property in question died intestate, the absence of a will means their heirs would have a claim to the property.
The discovery of an unknown heir is unfortunate for all parties who enter the title process. However, locating a missing heir is why the title process exists. Better for your title group to uncover this problem now than have an heir appear after the contracts are signed and the money disbursed.
Easements
Easements are often innocuous and don’t deprive property owners of the full use of their land. However, for some, they may be a deal-breaker. Additionally, easements are not described in as much detail as the property to which they are attached, so there may be some dispute about their exact size and location.
Although potentially disruptive problems, easement issues can often be resolved quickly with the right strategies.
Forged Documents
Property transactions generate a wealth of documents. At some point in a property’s history, a party could have forged a signature on any of this paperwork. If a signature on a deed was forged, then the resulting transaction (and any transfer after that) would be void.
In Florida, forged deeds are rampant and a way for thieves to acquire other people’s homes. As a realtor, you spend your time bringing buyers and sellers together in good faith and put your reputation on the line with each client you take on. You need peace of mind that your title services will uncover forgeries and help you protect your clients.
Invalid Prior Deeds
Each deed filed in a property’s conveyance history must be valid to produce a current, clear title. However, title searches sometimes uncover deeds from the past that are void due to one of the following reasons:
- Deed signed under duress
- Deed signed by a minor
- Deed signed by an illegal immigrant
- Deed signed by a mentally incapacitated person.
The potential damage that can result from closing on a property with an illegal deed could be catastrophic in some instances. The importance of verifying each deed cannot be overstated and is one of many tasks we take seriously at Pillar Title Group.
