Final Walk-Through: What to Expect (and What Not To)

Did you know the NVAR contract doesn't limit you to just one walk-through? You can actually do more than one, the key is knowing when and why.

✅ It's a condition check: is the house still in the same shape it was when you went under contract?
✅ It's a verification that any agreed-upon repairs from the inspection were actually completed.
❌ It's NOT a second home inspection.
❌ It's NOT the time to renegotiate cosmetic stuff you missed the first time around.

💡 My recommendation: two walk-throughs
1️⃣ 5 to 7 days before closing, so there's still time to fix anything that comes up.
2️⃣ The night before or morning of closing, to confirm those repairs were actually done.

Beyond that, you're not really inspecting the house anymore, you're just visiting it.

Listing a property in an HOA or condo association? Don't let violations catch you off guard.

Before you list, find out if the property has any outstanding HOA violations — an unfinished fence, exterior maintenance, landscaping issues, or something the seller didn't even know about.

Per paragraph 19 of the residential sales contract, the seller must resolve any HOA violations before settlement. That means it's NOT something the buyer can handle after closing.

✅ Order the resale packet early
✅ Identify violations ASAP
✅ Give the seller time to cure them
✅ Get HOA confirmation before closing

When you buy a home, the deed is the document that actually transfers ownership from the seller to you. But here's what most buyers don't realize — not every deed offers the same level of protection.

There are 3 types you'll typically come across:

✅ General Warranty Deed — full protection, guaranteed clear title back through history.
⚠️ Special Warranty Deed — only covers the seller's own ownership period.
❌ Quitclaim Deed — zero guarantees, just a transfer of whatever interest exists.

Knowing which deed you're getting can make a real difference in how protected you are as a homeowner

Ever wonder how someone could steal your home without you ever knowing? Deed fraud is on the rise in Northern Virginia, and it doesn't happen the way you'd think. The scammer never sets foot on the property. It's all done online.

They look for an easy target: a vacant home, a rental property, or a house owned by someone who has passed away.
They pull up the public county records, copy the legal description of the property, and forge the owner's signature on a fake deed transferring the home to a shell company.
They use a fake notary stamp to make the deed look legitimate and file it electronically with the county clerk.
Once the county records it, the scammer takes out a massive cash-out mortgage against your equity, pockets the money, and disappears.

Here's the good news: your owner's title insurance policy does cover the legal costs to fix this.

Plus, counties like Fairfax and Loudoun offer free land records notification systems that text you the moment a document is filed against your name.

What Title Insurance ACTUALLY Protects 🏡

Title insurance protects the American dream. It protects homeownership.

Here's what most people don't realize: knowing whether someone else could legally have ownership in your home, or a lien against it, is exactly what title insurance protects against.

Homeowner's insurance is important, but it protects your home from future events like fire, storms, or theft.

Title insurance is different. It protects the ownership you already have, from issues that already exist but haven't been discovered yet.

Before you close, our team at EKKO Title performs a full 60-year search to uncover any known issues. But here's the thing: no title search can ever uncover every possible issue. That's exactly why title insurance exists.

And unlike almost every other type of insurance, title insurance is a one-time premium paid at closing.

You're not just buying insurance. You're buying peace of mind that the largest purchase you'll likely ever make is truly yours, and stays free of encumbrances.

If you own a condo, your parking space might not actually be yours. Here's how to find out.

Some parking spaces are deeded, meaning they're legally described right alongside your unit. That means it's yours, you can sell it, and it typically transfers automatically when you sell your condo. No one can take it away without your consent.

Other spaces are simply assigned by the HOA or condo association, usually as a "limited common element." That space isn't in your deed, the association controls it, and depending on your governing documents, they may be able to reassign it, especially if you fall behind on dues or if the community reallocates space.

This matters most at closing. Buyers often assume the parking space comes with the unit, but if it's not deeded, that's not guaranteed. And reassigning or fixing a parking space can require an amendment to the condo instruments, which isn't a quick fix.

Before you buy or sell a condo, ask your title company to confirm exactly how the parking space is held. It could save you a major headache down the road.

Top Contract Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

Some of the biggest problems we see in real estate don’t happen at the closing table… they start with something that was missed, misunderstood, or overlooked in the contract.

That’s exactly what Valerie Triplett and I are going to tackle at our next Brunch & Learn: Top Contract Mistakes & How to Avoid Them.

We’re talking about the real-world issues that can turn a smooth transaction into a LOT of extra work:

• Legal description problems
• Special sellers and the extra steps they can require
• ICRA nightmares
• Contract interpretation rules
• False settlement dates

They’re the kinds of things that can impact your timeline, your clients, and ultimately your closing.

Join us September 1st for 2 CE Contracts credits, a complimentary brunch, and a very practical conversation about mistakes we see in the real world and, more importantly, how you can catch them BEFORE they become a problem.

If you’re a Realtor, this is one you’ll want on your calendar.

⏰ 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Seats are limited, so don’t wait to register. Scan the QR code on the flyer or email [email protected] to reserve your seat.

What ACTUALLY Happens at the Closing Table 👀

If you've never bought a home before, or it's been a while, the closing table can feel a little intimidating. Here's what really happens.

A lot of buyers think closing means signing hundreds of papers you don't understand. The truth is much simpler than people expect.

Before you even sit down, our team at EKKO Title is already working behind the scenes:

✅ Coordinating with your lender and realtors
✅ Making sure the title is clean
✅ Preparing every closing document
✅ Balancing the financial figures with the lender
✅ Making sure everyone gets paid correctly

Then comes closing day. We review the deed and how you'll be holding title to the property. Once everything is signed and all funds are confirmed received, congratulations, you're home. 🏡

The closing table should never be intimidating. Our job is to make one of the biggest moments of your life feel smooth, organized, and stress-free.

My lender didn't ask for a survey, so I don't need one. That mindset can end up costing buyers more than they think.

Here's the reality: lenders skip it because their own policy already protects them. But your policy as the buyer is different. Without a current survey, it will generally include an exception for exactly what a survey would have revealed, unclear boundaries, encroachments, easements.

Think of it this way: buying without a survey is like signing a contract without reading the fine print. Nothing may ever come of it... or five years from now, a neighbor could show up claiming part of your land.

A survey gives you certainty from day one. And that certainty is worth a lot more than what it costs to get one.

Not sure if your transaction needs one? At EKKO Title, we help you make that call based on facts, not guesswork.
