First Property Under Contract -- Cloud Title?

[Zach Schaar]

Hello!

A few days ago I got my first property under contract in Columbus, OH. I am now presenting this property to my buyers list and I found myself asking "What is the best way to prevent buyers from cutting me out and going behind my back?".

I know it may sound juvenile and maybe unprofessional, but I do know that this does happen. Should I put a cloud on the title???

I have been told my some that the contract alone is enough to hold my ground and legally I can't be crossed. But again, this being my first deal, I am a bit unsure and just want to make sure that things are done properly.

Thank you for the help!
