Understanding the Preliminary Title Report and Its Impact on Escrow
The preliminary title report is one of the most important documents in a real estate transaction and one of the most misunderstood.
Escrow relies on this report to ensure a clean and transferable title.
What the Preliminary Title Report Reveals
This report outlines the property’s ownership history, recorded liens, easements, and restrictions. It identifies potential issues that must be resolved before closing.
Why It Matters to Escrow
Escrow cannot close until title conditions are satisfied. Unreleased liens, unpaid taxes, or ownership discrepancies can delay or derail a transaction if not addressed early.
Early Review Prevents Delays
Reviewing the preliminary title report as soon as it’s issued allows escrow to coordinate with agents, lenders, and title officers proactively. Early resolution equals faster closings.
Clarity Creates Confidence
When clients understand what’s on title and what needs to happen next transactions move forward with fewer surprises.
