Look at title before close?
Im representing a client who is purchasing a mobile home and i asked the selling agent to see title on the manufactured home which is on a rented lot. The sellers agent said "Any encumbrance on the title at this point is the sellers business and will be handled buy us prior to closing. I appreciate you thoroughness in the matter but we will handle everything as far as that is concerned and give your buyer a clean title at closing."
This is sending up some prickly hairs on my back. The last manufactured home on a lot i sold i gave the title to the closing company before we even listed, so it was up for grabs for anyone to see.
Would you be worried or do anything?
All i have done was said, "I appreciate knowing that the title will be clear at closing."
Anyone with more experience know if this is the norm? Anythoughts?

@Alexander Zeisberg we would contact the DMV. When a Lien is recorded it goes onto the physical title. It's been a while so the details are fuzzy in my mind. But I would contact the owner of the park (assuming you're not buying the unit from them) and ask them. They have something at state if things aren't done properly.
