Title Troubles: The Most Common Deal Killers and How to Avoid Them – Free Hybrid Seminar
About
Title complications are more than technical jargon—they’re among the most frequent and disruptive obstacles in real estate transactions. According to industry data, more than a third of real estate deals involve title issues that must be uncovered and resolved before closing can proceed successfully — from missing or improperly recorded deeds to surprise claims from unknown heirs and ownership gaps.
Title Troubles: The Most Common Deal Killers and How to Avoid Them is crafted to equip real estate professionals with practical tools to identify, disclose, and resolve common title and transaction issues before they sideline a closing. Whether you’re facing undisclosed liens, errors in public records, or confusing ownership histories, this session will help you stay proactive, informed, and confident throughout the transaction.
This seminar is led by third-generation owner of Germantown Title Company, and Tri-County Board of Director member, Dana Santangelo. Joining her is her colleague Marla Korkus, a title insurance expert with decades of experience facilitating smooth, stress-free closings
Together, they will provide real-world examples, insights, and best practices you can apply to your transactions. You’ll walk away better equipped to identify title concerns early, guide clients with confidence, and safeguard transactions from common “deal killers” that can cost time, money, and credibility.
This course does NOT provide any continuing education credits.
