Outside of appraisal and title they keep control of the entire process; processing,underwriting, closing and funding 

It is illegal for title companies to conduct closings there.

A good attorney or title company should be able to refer a quality broker. 

My question is as simple as the title.

I am exploring my options for borrowing against a property that I am the legal title holder to.

First, if she sells the property as a resident of FL, what are her tax implications in Georgia being that the property was left to her by the man she was seeing but never married to, and she was put on the title?

At a foreclosure auction sale, though, this is a challenge, because we don't have the ability to enter the property until after the title is issued (ten days post sale).  

After everything was fixed and they listed the unit, apparently they claimed that I was not allowed to have any understanding of who would be renting my home due to potential bias and discrimination (this is the first time I have not been able to view applicants general profile (credit score/occupation(removing any identity markers)), but fine, I let them choose the tenant and so far there hasn't been any issues.

I would also be added to the hazard insurance as an additional loss payee/mortgagee and have a lenders title policy for every transaction as a way of further protecting yourself.

Hopefully your name is on the deed/title.
