Title & Survey — What “Clean” Means

Title commitment shows ownership and exceptions. A proper survey shows boundaries and encroachments.

Title

• Unacceptable exceptions must be removed or insured over.
• Make sure payoff letters and releases are ordered early.

Survey

• Real boundary survey (not a fast mortgage inspection) is best for fences, sheds, driveways.
• Attorney can advise which survey type is required.
