Simultaneous Closing- How to Handle Buyers Title Policy Request When Policy Shows Purchase Amount?

[Burt L.]

I have a buyer on a strong deal, who understandably wants to examine the title policy before giving a deposit. Of course, they would be aware that the title policy is in the amount of the buy-side figure and I thought twice before forwarding the policy. The title company says they can't provide a policy at the increased figure until there is s B-C side contract.

How is this best handled? To me, a deposit is refundable if good title can't pass. I would return a deposit if title isn't mechantable, etc.
