Welcome to the most un-boring Boring Title edition yet!

This week, Allied Title & Escrow’s CEO, Latane Meade, sits down with serial entrepreneur and CEO of Remax Distinctive, Andrew Reamer.

Andrew talks about how he got into real estate, how he benefited from the financial crisis, assigning over 1,600 foreclosures in under 24 hours, sneaking groupies (Latane) into the back door of O’Sullivans when his band was performing and much more.

A ukulele may or may not have been used in the making of this video… it’s a long one but worth it. Enjoy.

When you buy a home, you are required to get title insurance for the lender who is providing your mortgage. You do have the option to get title insurance for yourself and we highly recommend you do so to protect what is likely your largest investment.

The horror stories are painful to hear about when people decline owner’s title insurance and end up losing their homes because of a rare issue that arises with the title of their home.

Many of our clients are confused by why you need title insurance and so we put together a list that will give you an overview of why it’s a good investment:

• Protects your largest investment
• Reduces your risk
• You can’t beat the value
• Covers your heirs
• Nothing compares
• 8 in 10 homebuyers agree
• Peace of mind

Title Tip of the Week 

If a resident of Virginia dies without a will (intestate), then according to Virginia Code § 64.2-200, the real estate passes directly to the heirs at law. The person who qualifies as Administrator of the estate does not have title to the real estate or the power to sell it.

The sale of the real estate can only be accomplished in two manners:

• Petition the court for power of sale
• By agreement of all the heirs

Therefore, in the case of an intestate estate, if possible, it’s often best to have all the heirs sign the listing agreement and contract, then convey the property at Settlement. This avoids the necessity of filing a Petition with the Court for Power of Sale.
