They are senior to their debt, so they can crush, make sur there are's any other secured interests on the property. worth the $100 or so for a prelim title report. 

They should ask you to sign a form titled "Information About Brokerage Services" which describe the responsibility of the brokerage and their sponsored sales agent. 

The respectful tone of your title drew me in.  

**I am located in the NORTH NJ area and would greatly appreciate it if those in NJ could recommend me your title agent.

Will I have to do Title twice ?

If the lien is discharged from the property John still owes the amounts due, it is just a lien on the property any longer.If the buyers choose to take title subject to the lien the lien retains the right to foreclose those junior interests until the lien is discharged by being paid or voluntarily released.As a buyer you would want to clear title to the property thus forcing John to deal with the lien.  

So even if the mortgage is under your name you can transfer title? 

Each unit has a 2 car garage as well.The mortgage company is doing a title search now to figure out how it is considered a condo without an HOA to own the land, and what exactly we would be buying.We've done all the calculations and we feel like the property would be a good one for the long run, but we also have no idea how to calculate for any potential zoning issues either. 

i just closed a deal at oregon last week and i reside in illinois. just tell the realtor, loan officer where you live and they will find a title company near your place. and the guy from the title company will call you to schedule and meet up with you during the closing. and the guy will mail all the signed forms to the lender. after they receive it. the seller will sign as well and mail you all the final paperworks signed by both parties!

I'm helping a friend of mine try and find the title to his son's mothers house.
