A Good Title Company Makes My Job Easier

A Good Title Company Makes My Job Easier. When I get an offer on my listing, the buyer's agent writes in the desired title Closing paperworkcompany/attorney to do the closing for both sides. In Clarksville TN, it is custom to have only one place to close and one title company that closes for the buyer and seller. Since many times the seller is paying a good portion of the closing costs for the buyer, then the seller/seller's agent should be in agreement with the choice.

So as long as it is a reputable company and they have done a good job in the past, I have no Double thumbs upissue with their choice of closing company. However, if the title company doesn't do a good job and they don't make my job easier, then I will counsel with my seller and oftentimes they will make a counteroffer to change the closing company.

In Clarksville TN, I have learned from my past experiences and a bad closing sticks in my mind for a very long time. It's not that I'm unforgiving, it's just that it's so much easier to do business with my preferred companies. It's like a good partnership. You know what you're going to get so you can relax. I want a good title company to make my job easier, not harder. And I certainly never want to have the title company make me look bad in the eyes of my client or queer the deal.

A good PartnershipI treasure these relationships with good title companies in Clarksville TN and look forward to closing only with them. One of my favorites is Bankers Title, Clarksville, TN. They go above and beyond in doing the little things that take the stress off of me. After all, we agents have so many choices in title companies, why shouldn't we do business with someone that makes our job easier? In this partnership, they know what to expect from me and I know what to expect from them. The closing process then becomes a breeze.

A Good Title Company Makes My Job Easier but also the other agents job easier. The buyer and seller are more likely to leave the closing happy, less stressed and ready to give give both agents future referrals. As a bonus, the title company can also get referrals and future business.

Joe, It is critical the title company knows what they are doing if the sale is a foreclosure or short sale. Glad you have two to depend on.

Suzanne, When we are looking out for our client's money, it is important that we know the title companies fees are not gouging our client. Thanks for the comment.

You are so right Debbie.  A good title company can really take a lot of the stress out a transaction.

It's interesting how different parties, have different roles, depending on the state.  Here, escrow keeps the deal moving forward.

Title Companies are certainly part of it. A list of good vendors makes life easier also. Inspection, termite and repairs. Need them all.

I agree also. A good title comopany makes the difference, especially when it comes to short sales and making closing deadlines.

A good title company and the people working there is such a must in our business.  If your title company does not fit the bill...GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!

Jim- We definitely need some stress relievers in our business and good relationships that get us though.

Barbara Jo- I have had some not so good ones too and they remind me to not go that route again.

Aimee- Customs are really different from place to place. But I know you depend on your escrow companies to do a good job.

Bill- My vendor list needs expanding because as you say the good ones are in demand.

Pamela- If the title company is not very familiar with the short sale or REO closing process it can really mess up the deal and the lenders get angry with us.

William- Sometimes it takes trying a few different ones out to see who you work with best. I really like to be kept in the loop and know what is going on. Other agents don't want to be bothered with the details.
