Switching Title Companies, Title Underwriters vs. Agents, JNOV Motions & Saving Your Business
from Weekly Docket · host Philip Silberman
This week on the Weekly Docket, join Phil and Chris as they address a common frustration for real estate investors: what to do when a title company refuses to close your deal. They explain the crucial distinction between title agents and the approximately 30 major underwriters, such as First American and Fidelity, and why simply moving your file to a new office might not solve a fundamental title policy issue. They also dive into the technical world of post-trial motions, specifically the "Judgment Non Obstante Veredicto" (JNOV). Finally, the team takes a moment to celebrate a major win for a client who transitioned from a stalled three-week ordeal to a total resolution in just seven days, saving their business from the brink.⏰ Timestamps00:00 Intro1:46 Think Moving Title Companies Will Save Your Deal?
