In this episode of Real Estate Explained, host Nick Bush sits down with Claire Banta of Universal Title to break down the unsexy but absolutely essential part of every real estate transaction: title.

From clearing liens to holding escrow, Claire shares what really happens after a contract is ratified—and why skipping title insurance could cost you big. We also talk about her unexpected journey into the industry (spoiler: it started with a cold call), how our paths crossed at March Madness, and why she's now the go-to title rep on my biggest deal to date.

Oh—and yes, we cover wings, pickleball, and why two-tone houses might be on the way out.

🎯 Topics We Cover:

What title companies actually do
Why title insurance matters more than you think
The risks of unclear title or unreleased liens
How relationships and vibe matter in business
Real talk about housing affordability, equity, and lifestyle shifts

If you're a buyer, seller, agent, or just trying to understand what the heck “title” even is… this episode is your crash course.
