I  also wanted to tag @Rawn Wilson - he's another Pearland investor and is looking to get involved with meetups in the area. 

Call the title company and they will tell you the same thing.

If you used the TREC form, you should object to the survey and title matters (encroachments) so you have the option to walk if you don't get this resolved. 2.

So ... if they're saying they'll sign a quit claim deed, is it also correct to assume that you don't have a title company doing the title work for you then issuing title insurance?

I only used gmail, docusign.. send my offer with the contract accepted send to title company re listed it on craigslist and send a friend on foot overthere where the peoperty was located to place a sign for me. 2 weeks later the first offer I got was just $3000 spread, I took it. 

I admit, I intentionally led you astray with the title of this post.

My mother passed away 2 years ago, I finally got the estate closed out and got my name on the title.

The spiel goes something like this, "If you use our Preferred Lender and Close at our Preferred Title Company, then we (Builder) will pay X% Of your Closing Costs, and the Title Policy.

Howon the Earth could you compete with cash offers by assigning the title when "bank"(Fannie, Freddie, HUD) will specifically made you put the name of the title holder and that you can't resell it for any higher price within one year.

Im looking for a tried and true Title company in Baltimore,MD, particularly in the Pikesville area but anywhere in Baltimore is fine as long as they have very good reviews..any ideas?
