Does My Title Company Represent Me?

Updated over 3 weeks ago

A title company is NOT your advocate—they don’t protect your interests, negotiate on your behalf, or ensure you get the best deal. Their job is strictly administrative, acting as a neutral third party to ensure all contract terms are followed. But here’s the danger FSBO sellers don’t realize:

🔴 Title Works for the Contract—Not for You.

Your title company isn’t looking out for your best interests—they simply process the paperwork as written. If there’s a bad term in your contract, a hidden fee, or a buyer-friendly loophole? They won’t warn you.


What Title Does (And What They Don’t Do)

They Handle:

✔ Title Searches (Checking for liens & ownership history)

✔ Issuing Title Insurance (Protecting the buyer & lender—not you)

✔ Transferring Ownership (Finalizing the sale per contract terms)

✔ Ensuring Taxes & Liens Are Paid

🚨 They Do NOT:

❌ Negotiate Better Terms for You

❌ Review Your Contract for Red Flags

❌ Catch Hidden Fees, Unfair Credits, or Costly Clauses

❌ Protect You if a Buyer Tries to Back Out or Renegotiate

❌ Manage Deadlines, Disclosures, or Inspection Contingencies


The FSBO Trap: You Think You’re Protected—Until You Lose Thousands.

📌 Fact: Over 60% of FSBO sellers give unnecessary credits to buyers.

📌 Fact: Buyer agents structure contracts in THEIR favor, not yours.

📌 Fact: Title companies don’t warn you about bad contract terms—you just sign and hope for the best.
