One of today's real estate fraud schemes can begin before a legitimate seller ever knows their property is “for sale.”

Fraudsters may use public information and falsified identification to impersonate a property owner and attempt to complete a sale.

A red flag doesn't automatically mean fraud — but unusual circumstances are a reason to slow down, communicate and verify.

Agents don't have to investigate these situations alone. Bringing concerns to the title team early gives everyone more time to protect the transaction.

Real estate fraud has changed.

It isn't always an obviously fake email or a stranger asking for money. Today's schemes can look like normal parts of a real estate transaction — right down to familiar names, branding and property information.

That's why awareness, verification and good communication matter from contract to closing.

Throughout this series, we're breaking down the fraud risks agents, buyers and sellers should know about — one at a time.

Close informed. Close with confidence.

What can delay a real estate closing?

Every transaction is different, but some common causes include:

▪️ Missing or incomplete documents
▪️ Unresolved liens or title issues
▪️ Last-minute lender conditions
▪️ Changes to the buyer’s financing
▪️ Problems with signatures or identification
▪️ Delays receiving the funds needed for closing

Not every delay can be predicted, but responding quickly, providing requested documents, and keeping everyone updated can make a big difference.

If the title company, lender, or real estate agent asks for something, try to send it as soon as possible—and always ask questions if you are unsure about what is needed.

A little preparation and communication can help keep your closing moving forward.

Realtors, every referral you make is an extension of your reputation.

When you send a client to a title company, you need to know they will be treated with care, kept informed, and supported throughout the closing process.

That is exactly what the South Oak Title team works to provide.

We understand how much time and trust you put into your client relationships. Our goal is to be a reliable partner who communicates clearly, works alongside everyone involved, and helps create a closing experience that reflects well on you.

If you’re looking for a title team you can confidently refer your clients to, we would love the opportunity to work with you.

Your clients deserve a title team you trust.

Does the name on your photo ID match the name on your closing documents?

It may seem like a small detail, but a mismatch can create extra questions or delays at the closing table.

This can happen after:

▪️ Marriage or divorce
▪️ A legal name change
▪️ Using a nickname instead of a legal name
▪️ A middle name or initial being listed differently

Before closing, take a moment to check your current government-issued photo ID. If something does not match, let the title company know ahead of time so they can explain what documentation may be needed.

A quick conversation before closing can help keep everything moving smoothly.

The property address may tell you where a home is located, but Exhibit A tells you exactly which piece of land is involved in the transaction.

Exhibit A contains the property’s legal description. Depending on the property, it may reference:

🏡 The lot and block
📖 A recorded plat book and page
📍 The county and state
📐 Detailed boundary measurements

This description is more precise than a standard street address and is used to legally identify the property being insured.

It is typically located at the end of the title commitment and is referenced in Schedule A.

Questions about the legal description in your title commitment? The South Oak Title team is here to help you understand what you’re reviewing.

Schedule B, Part II identifies exceptions—items that are generally excluded from coverage under the title policy.

Common exceptions may involve:

📍 Survey-related matters
📍 Recorded easements
📍 Covenants, conditions, and restrictions, often called CCRs
📍 Certain liens or claims not shown in the public records
📍 Other property-specific rights or restrictions

An exception does not automatically mean something is wrong with the property. It means the title policy may not provide coverage for that particular matter.

Because every property and transaction is different, it is important to review the exceptions listed in your commitment and ask questions about anything you do not understand.

Have a title commitment question? South Oak Title is ready to help.
