What does a title attorney actually do and why does it matter more than most people realize? On this episode of The Loan Doctor Podcast, Richard Brandt sits down with Kim De Biase of Empire Title Services to walk through the real role of a title attorney from contract to closing.
They break down why owner’s title insurance is critical, share real stories of unexpected title claims, and explain how issues like unsatisfied mortgages, probate complications, open permits, and improper signatures can create major problems if not handled correctly. They also discuss escrow deposits, wire fraud prevention, underwriting, 1031 exchanges, FIRPTA, and what buyers and sellers should be doing before they ever sign a contract.
If you are buying, selling, or investing in Florida real estate, this conversation will help you understand what happens behind the scenes and how to protect one of the biggest investments you will ever make.
