It’s Bonus Friday on Untitled: The Podcast – Beyond the Closing Table! 

In this special episode, Katelyn, Tab, and Mel pick up the phone and call friends and family for a surprise real estate pop quiz:

• Do they know what title insurance really is?
• Can they remember the name of our title company?
• Or will we uncover just how confusing the world of real estate closings can be? 

This fun, fast-paced episode is part game show, part comedy, and part title insurance education. Whether you’re a real estate agent, investor, lender, or homeowner, you’ll laugh along while learning why title companies matter in every real estate transaction.

✨ Tune in for family chaos, insider laughs, and a fresh way to understand the closing process—all wrapped up in this Bonus Friday drop!

Starting December 1, 2025, new federal reporting requirements will change how residential real estate transactions are handled when the buyer is a corporation, LLC, trust, or other legal entity. These rules—mandated by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)—require title companies to collect and report more detailed information than ever before.

In this episode, Katelyn, Tab, and Mel break down what these new FinCEN rules mean for real estate agents, lenders, buyers, and sellers. We’ll cover:

• Which transactions are affected (and why)
• The additional information title companies will need from sellers and buyers
• How non-compliance can result in serious penalties
• Tips for preparing your clients (and your files) before December 1

Whether you’re an agent, investor, or homeowner, this episode will help you understand the changes coming and how to stay ahead of them.

✨ Key takeaway: Compliance isn’t optional—knowing the rules now will save time, stress, and risk later.

Title insurance and real estate closings aren’t always cut-and-dry—and sometimes the stories are crazier than the contracts. In this episode, Katelyn, Tab, and Mel pull back the curtain on unusual title finds, from unexpected liens to encroachments and everything in between.

We’ll also break down common real estate and title terms—like earnest money, deeds, easements, escrow, and chain of title—so they’re easy to understand. Whether you’re a real estate agent, investor, buyer, or seller, you’ll walk away with practical knowledge and a few laughs from the wild side of closings.

✨ Key takeaway: Title insurance isn’t just paperwork—it’s protection, peace of mind, and knowing the language of real estate.

But beyond closings, this show is also about real life—navigating business ownership, creative finance, and the chaos of balancing careers and family—because the stories don’t stop at the closing table.

Join us as we dive into how this podcast came to life, the gaps we want to fill in real estate conversations, and why your title company matters more than you think when it comes to protecting your property and investment.
