Traditionally, landowners pay to fix title problems before selling.
The Traditional Model
- Seller hires attorney
- Seller pays legal fees
- Seller hopes a buyer appears later to (ideally) help recover these costs
The main flaw with this traditional approach is it puts all risk and cost on the owner’s shoulders.
An Alternative Approach
Some sellers choose a more convenient path where:
- The buyer coordinates resolution
- Costs are handled as part of the sale
- No upfront legal expenses are required
Which approach makes sense depends on your goals along with available time and resources.
