Sometimes what seems like a small detail blows up and can have a dramatic affect on your relationship with your client. Remember, they hold YOU accountable for any referral or introduction you make to them. I have learned to take all referrals seriously and have discussions with any referee BEFORE I ever give out their name now. This is ESPECIALLY critical for core real estate services such as title, escrow, and inspectors. "Very good" is not good enough. EXCEPTIONAL is the only acceptable rating!

Title companies can sometimes determine the fate of repeat buyers. If you close with an incompetent title company they can sometimes cause you to lost future business. Sometimes even a few days can make the difference between short and long term consequences. Great post! Title companies can sometimes determine the fate of repeat buyers.

On my OWN house the title company had errors on the legal description when it closed so when I went to refinance two years later the title report showed that I didn't own it. ugh... took over a month to fix... So read those reports... We forget how important title and escrow are to getting a transaction closed and recorded.
