☀️ Smooth Summer Closings ☀️

Summer real estate season is here!

One of the easiest ways to help keep a transaction moving smoothly is locating the property abstract early in the process.

Having the abstract available upfront helps avoid delays and allows title work to begin sooner.

Title Tip Tuesday

Not all “searches” (or updates) are the same—here’s a quick breakdown:

➡️ A Buyer Search (Report of Liens) is a personal lien search—it looks for judgments and liens tied to a person.

➡️ A Pre-Closing Search checks for last-minute updates to the property or parties right before closing.

➡️ A Final Abstract Continuation is an update to the abstract itself—bringing the title record current through the recording of closing documents.

➡️ A Post-Closing Search is a follow-up check to confirm documents were recorded and to identify any new filings after closing.

Why it matters:

These are not interchangeable services. Each serves a different purpose in the transaction process.

Ordering the correct service at the right time helps ensure a smooth closing—and a clear title.

At MTJA, we help guide that process so nothing gets missed.

Title Tip Tuesday

“Paid off” doesn’t always mean “cleared.”

Just because a mortgage is paid doesn’t mean it’s been properly released of record.

➡️ Why it matters: An unreleased mortgage can still show as a lien—and hold up closing.

We check for proper releases so your title is truly clear.

Title Tip Tuesday

Not all “owners” are the same.

The name on the deed matters—but how someone holds title matters too (joint tenants, tenants in common, etc.).

➡️ Why it matters: Ownership type affects how property transfers, especially in situations like death or divorce.

We make sure ownership is clear—so there’s no confusion when it matters most.

🌮 Title Tip Tuesday | Cinco de Mayo Edition

Just like a good taco needs all the right ingredients… a smooth closing does too.

Missing documents, unreleased liens, or incomplete records can turn a closing into a mess—fast.

➡️ Why it matters: Every detail counts when it comes to clear title. One missing piece can hold everything up.

At MTJA, we make sure nothing gets left off the plate—so your closing comes together just right.

Title Tip Tuesday

Did you know judgments can follow a person—not just a property?

If a seller has a judgment, it can attach to real estate they own.

➡️ Why it matters: These need to be addressed before closing to ensure clear title.

It’s one of the many things we check behind the scenes.

Just a reminder — our office will be closed today from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. as we celebrate Administrative Professionals Day and take time to recognize our MTJA team.

(We still think abstractors deserve their own day… so we’re counting today as theirs!)

We’ll resume normal business hours after 1:00 p.m. — thank you!

Title Tip Tuesday

Just because a lien is old… doesn’t mean it’s gone.

Liens stay attached to a property until they’re properly released—even if they’re years (or decades) old.

➡️ Why it matters: An old, unresolved lien can delay closing until it’s cleared.

We check for these so there are no surprises at the closing table.
