Most homes and land have been bought and sold many times before you decided to make the offer, and have a lot of history. In some cases, there might be some actual written history, but most of the time, the title history and property records are all that’s left to tell its story. As the buyer, you definitely have a vested interest in knowing that story.
Experience is always important during any large business transaction, and a home sale or purchase is about as large as they get. Unfortunately, most people only buy or sell real estate a few times in their lifetime, usually several years apart. And even if you’ve moved around a lot, you owe it to yourself to let trained professionals guide you through the process. There are several documents that have to be executed, before closing can take place, and even the smallest clerical error can be costly!

That makes us happy each time that we hear it, because it usually means that everything has gone according to plan, and that we did our job well.
