Let’s clear the air—and the title. ☁️🏡

Today’s real estate term: “Cloud on Title.”
It sounds dramatic, but it’s something every buyer and seller should understand.

A cloud on title refers to any issue or claim—like a lien, unpaid taxes, or even a legal dispute—that can affect ownership rights to a property.

Before a home can be sold or refinanced, these clouds must be cleared. If not, it can delay or even derail the entire transaction.
This is why a title check and working with a knowledgeable agent from the beginning is so important.

Realtor with RE/MAX Realty One

I have been a Realtor for 22 years. I have made RE/MAX my home since 2001. It has been a pleasure working for the number one franchise nationally and locally for 19 years. My production for 2019 was 7 1/2 Million with over 50 transaction sides. I truly find working with home buyers and sellers to be very rewarding. I have been married for 28 years and have a wonderful daughter who just graduated from the University of Florida and will be going to graduate school for Physical Therapy. I enjoy spending time with both of them boating, mountain biking, playing tennis and volleyball and anything outdoors.
