#5 - Why Title Insurance [?] & Other Closing Questions with Lucie McGuire!

#5 - Why Title Insurance [?] & Other Closing Questions with Lucie McGuire!

This week, we’re talking ALL about Title, title insurance and the process of closing a Real Estate deal. We sit down with Lucie McGuire from Arrow Title Services based out of Stuart, Florida. Lucie is the Business Development Officer for Arrow Title and also runs her own Travel YouTube Channel!

When it comes to selling properties, the transfer of title and the closing process is one of THE most important elements of a deal — and it’s important as a Real Estate agent or client that you understand the process. During this Episode, Lucie breaks down why Title Insurance is so important and the steps a Title company takes to insure that a transfer of title is clear.

While you may not need to understand EVERY single element to a closing — it’s important to understand what’s going on at the closing table!

So, thank you for joining me today with this very educational episode with Lucie McGuire!

Have you EVER wondered exactly how a home inspection works? Well... probably not unless your looking to buy a home, have sold your home or are BRAND new to Real Estate. The process of buying a home can be SUPER emotional -- especially if it's your first time. Being educated on the home buying process will empower you to make the best decision on one of the biggest decisions of your life.

In this two part conversation, I ask Corey Brasfield from Brasfield Home Inspections to lay out EXACTLY what a home inspection is like and what it means for you as a home buyer or seller. As a new Real Estate agent, my goal is to find "coaches" who can guide me into being the BEST Real Estate agent possible. If you're a new RE agent I hope you find these conversations valuable as well.

I’m super excited and already have some great local experts lined up. We’ll be talking to home inspectors, high performing agents, mortgage specialists and SO many more.

Many of these people are people I’ve met through networking, social media or they are just great friends that add tons of value to the Real Estate world.
