A Texas closing failed because of title. What next?
Keep the previous file together
Mention the title company, the written reason for the hold and any documents gathered. You can begin with a summary. Do not send confidential correspondence or other people’s personal details without permission.
Separate the offer from the title problem
A higher offer or a faster buyer does not itself resolve an ownership issue. Ask the next buyer how they will evaluate the obstacle and coordinate with the people whose work is required.
Ask for a next step, not a guaranteed date
A useful plan identifies the missing information, the responsible party and the next decision point. A closing target comes after the requirements and dependencies are understood.
Request a fresh purchase review
Home Team Investors can review the prior obstacle as part of a possible purchase. We will discuss what is known, what still needs professional review and whether we see a workable path. A new review does not guarantee a different result.
