Episode #27 - What Title and Escrow Wish REALTORS® Knew with Tiffannie Hobgood

In this episode of Arizona REALTORS® Voices, we sit down with 30-year title and escrow expert Tiffannie Hobgood to pull back the curtain on what happens between contract and closing. Tiffannie has served as president of both the Arizona State Escrow Association and the American Escrow Association, and she's spent her career explaining exactly the kind of details that make or break a smooth transaction. They cover the real difference between title and escrow, the biggest misconceptions agents have about what escrow officers do all day, the most common reasons deals get delayed right before closing, and the Arizona-specific quirks — community property, disclaimer deeds, table closings — that trip up out-of-state buyers and even seasoned agents. She also shares the single strangest title issue of her career, and where she thinks AI actually fits into the future of title and escrow work. Let’s Connect:Have a question?
