Title Issues

The Issue: Unresolved title problems such as liens, unpaid taxes, or conflicting ownership claims can stop a closing in its tracks.

Solution: TCT conducts a thorough title search to uncover and resolve title defects before closing day. Our attorney-owned expertise means we can quickly address legal issues others might miss.

Real-World Example: During a title search, our team discovered an old lien from a previous owner. Thanks to our proactive approach, we resolved the issue and kept the closing on track.

Loan Approval Delays

The Issue: Mortgage approval can stall if lenders require additional documentation or face underwriting backlogs.

Solution: We maintain strong relationships with lenders, ensuring seamless communication and document submission. Our integrated technology platform, Qualia, keeps all parties informed throughout the process.

Pro Tip: Buyers should stay responsive and avoid making large purchases or taking on new debt before closing to prevent loan approval delays.

Home Appraisal Problems

The Issue: If a home appraisal comes in lower than the agreed-upon sale price, financing can fall through or require renegotiation.

Solution: We coordinate with experienced, trusted appraisers who provide accurate, timely valuations. In cases where an appraisal gap arises, our team works closely with agents and lenders to explore solutions such as price adjustments or additional financing.

Real-World Example: A homebuyer's appraisal came in $10,000 below the sale price. With TCT's guidance, the buyer negotiated a price reduction, allowing the deal to close on time.

Missing or Incomplete Documents

The Issue: Missing or incomplete documents can cause last-minute delays. Even a single overlooked form can push back closing by days or weeks.

Solution: Our document management system ensures every required form is completed, reviewed, and ready ahead of time. We also offer secure electronic signatures for faster turnaround.

Pro Tip: Sellers should gather essential documents, such as property tax records and utility bills, early in the process to avoid last-minute scrambles.

Inconvenient Closing Arrangements

The Issue: Coordinating schedules for in-person closings can be challenging, especially for out-of-town buyers, sellers, or agents.

Solution: TCT's Mobile Notary Service and Virtual Closing Platform eliminate scheduling headaches. Whether you're across town or across the country, we make closing convenient and efficient.

Real-World Example: A first-time homebuyer had an unexpected work trip during closing week. Instead of postponing, we sent a mobile notary to their hotel, allowing the closing to stay on schedule.
