🚩 REAL ESTATE RED FLAG #3 🚩
LAST-MINUTE CHANGES TO FINANCING

Did you know that making financial changes during the closing process can impact your loan approval?

Things like:
• Opening new credit accounts
• Financing a vehicle or furniture
• Large bank deposits or withdrawals
• Changing jobs
• Missing loan documentation

can all create unexpected delays before closing day.

Even small financial changes can require lenders to re-review parts of the loan file, which may slow the transaction down.

If you’re under contract on a home, it’s always best to speak with your lender before making major financial decisions.

At South Oak Title & Closing, we work closely with all parties involved to help closings stay on track from contract to closing table.

Follow along each Tuesday in June as we continue our Real Estate Red Flags series.

What actually happens on closing day?

For many buyers and sellers, closing day can feel overwhelming — but it’s really the final step in making the transaction official.

During closing, several important things happen:
• Final documents are reviewed and signed
• Funds are processed and transferred
• Ownership documents are finalized
• Lender paperwork is completed
• The transaction is prepared for recording

This is the moment where all the work behind the scenes comes together.

At South Oak Title & Closing, our goal is to help make the process smooth, organized, and easy to understand from start to finish.

Have questions about the closing process? Our team is always happy to help explain what to expect before closing day arrives.

Another successful closing in the books for Amanda McKasson

She had the pleasure of closing with Bryan Christensen and buyer Linda Sumblin last week. Linda was absolutely thrilled to be purchasing her new condo, and we made the occasion even more special by closing poolside! ☀️🏊‍♀️

Congratulations, Linda, on your new home! Thank you for allowing us to be part of such an exciting milestone. Wishing you many happy memories in your new place.

🚩 REAL ESTATE RED FLAG #2 🚩
MISSING OR INCORRECT PROPERTY OWNERSHIP RECORDS

One small error in property records can create major delays during a real estate transaction.

Incorrect ownership history, recording mistakes, missing documentation, or legal description errors can all impact the closing process.

These issues are not always visible upfront — which is why title research is such an important part of every transaction.

At South Oak Title & Closing, we work behind the scenes to help identify ownership discrepancies early and help keep closings moving forward smoothly.

The earlier title issues are discovered, the easier they typically are to resolve.

🚩 REAL ESTATE RED FLAG #1 🚩
UNKNOWN LIENS ON A PROPERTY

A property may look perfect on the surface, but hidden liens can create major problems during a real estate transaction.

Liens can come from:
• Unpaid contractors
• Outstanding taxes
• Court judgments
• HOA balances
• Other unresolved debts tied to the property

If these issues are discovered late in the process, they can delay or even stop a closing until resolved.

This is one of the biggest reasons title work matters.

At South Oak Title & Closing, we help uncover issues early so buyers, sellers, and agents can move forward with confidence.
