Survey Nightmares: Encroachments, Quitclaim Deeds & Closing Chaos

Описание: Most home sellers never think about the survey… until it threatens to delay the closing, cost thousands of dollars, or kill the deal entirely.

In this episode, Glen breaks down two real stories from the closing table:
🏡 A one-foot property line issue that was solved with goodwill
💥 A one-foot encroachment that turned into a legal and financial nightmare

Glen also covers:

✔ Why survey problems show up
✔ The difference between lender title insurance and owner’s title insurance
✔ How a quitclaim deed can work for you
✔ When to order your own survey
✔ The simple steps that keep small issues from becoming big ones

If you’ve run into a survey issue or worried you might end up with one, this is the episode that can help save your closing.
