Lien on property I bought?

Hi. I got into a purchase contract for a home in CA. Escrow agent came back with a preliminary title report that showed the seller’s mortgage lender on there along with a lien placed by a creditor that sued the seller years ago when he went bankrupt. I freaked out and asked my agent what’s going on. Agent said not to worry about it. It’s normal and the title won’t have any liens or encumbrances on it when I get it. I called escrow agent and agent said they already got the lien off it’s all good.

Yesterday, I had to sign the closing documents from my lender. There were so many documents and things were moving fast. I came to the preliminary title document and I paused. I asked if the title has been cleared and my agent said escrow sent an updated title report. I never got it. Agent called escrow who said the title will be cleared next week and hasn’t been cleared yet (threw me off cause a few days earlier they said they cleared it already)… as this was my first home purchase, I don’t know if this is the right process but I made it clear to my agent I don’t wanna buy the home with liens and encumbrances. He told me it was ok to sign and I signed.

I’m still a bit freaked out about it. The funds will be disbursed Monday and technically at that point we’ve closed. What if escrow doesn’t clear the title by then? Does this sound off to those who bought a home before?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
