Title Problems Preventing a Sale?

Title problems are one of the most frustrating reasons a sale falls apart. The title search turns something up, the closing gets pushed, and suddenly nobody wants to touch the house. It’s usually not your fault, and it doesn’t always mean you’re stuck.

Title situations we evaluate

• A house still in the name of someone who passed away
• Missing, unknown, or uncooperative heirs
• Deed errors, gaps in the chain of title, or a wrong legal description
• Unclear or disputed ownership
• Old mortgages or liens that were paid but never released
• Judgments or other recorded claims against an owner

How we help

Send us the address and what you know. We review the situation and the title records, and when it’s needed we coordinate with title companies and real estate attorneys to work out what it would take to close. In many cases we can make an offer on the house as-is and work through the title issues as part of the purchase, so you don’t have to sort it all out before you sell.

To be clear: MarKey Home Buyers isn’t a law firm and doesn’t provide legal advice or representation, and not every title defect can be resolved. What we can do is take an honest look and tell you what we see.

How it works

Tell us about the property and what’s going on. We review it and give you a straight answer, usually within 24 hours. If it’s a fit, we make a cash offer and close through a title company on a date that works for you. We buy as-is, pay typical closing costs, and never charge fees or commissions.
