Title Search explained

A title search reviews public records to confirm ownership and identify liens, judgments, mortgages, taxes, or other title issues. In a wholesale operation, the term matters because it connects the seller conversation to a real next step instead of leaving the team with vague notes.

Wholesalers need title work early because hidden liens or ownership problems can kill an otherwise strong seller lead. VA Horizon cares about this because callers, lead managers, and acquisitions teams all need the same language inside the CRM. When the term is tagged correctly, follow-up becomes cleaner, handoffs improve, and the operator can see whether the lead is worth more time.

Callers should gather seller and property facts, but title companies and attorneys should handle title verification.

Example

A seller agrees to a price, but the title search finds old tax liens that must be resolved before the property can close.

A VA can collect facts, tag the lead, and follow the approved workflow. Final pricing, contract, funding, legal, or compliance decisions should stay with the operator and qualified professionals.
