Welcome back to Grounded, the HomeLand Properties Roundtable Podcast — where we dive into all things land, timber, forestry, commercial, and rural real estate across East Texas.
We’re HomeLand Properties, a real estate company proudly based in Huntsville, Texas, and each week we bring you valuable insight from industry professionals to help you better understand the real estate process — whether you’re buying, selling, or just curious about how it all works.
In this week’s episode, we’re shifting the focus to an essential — yet sometimes overlooked — part of every real estate transaction: title work.
Joining us at the table are our principal broker Andy Flack, and our trusted partners from Hometown Title — Vice President Jacob Richardson and Branch Manager Casey Crews. These two professionals play a crucial role in making sure transactions close smoothly, securely, and legally.
We’ll be tackling questions like:
-
What exactly is a title company, and what role do they play in the buying and selling process?
-
How do title companies benefit both real estate agents and their clients?
-
What is title insurance, and what does it actually protect you from?
-
What is a title commitment — and why is it so important before closing?
From uncovering ownership history to ensuring clean titles and protecting your investment, title companies are a critical part of any successful real estate deal. Whether you’re purchasing land, a home, or commercial property, understanding the role of your title company can give you peace of mind and help avoid costly surprises.
So tune in as we unpack these important topics and help demystify one of the most important parts of any real estate transaction.
Let’s get Grounded.
