Buying a home in Utah? Don’t overlook the closing process. In this episode of The Dirt on Real Estate, host Will Bennett, Licensed Utah Realtor, sits down with escrow officer Robyn Johnson from Union Title to walk you through the ins and outs of title insurance, escrow, and earnest money—three critical pieces of the real estate puzzle that many first-time buyers don’t fully understand.
You’ll hear Robyn explain what title insurance really covers, how it protects you from hidden ownership issues, and why it's a one-time cost that offers long-term peace of mind. She also shares how escrow works behind the scenes to keep your transaction on track, coordinate with lenders and agents, and ensure your closing day goes smoothly.
Learn why earnest money is more than just a deposit—it’s your commitment to the deal—and what happens if a deal falls through. Robyn shares real-life stories from her 28 years in the Utah Real Estate world, from unexpected title issues to heartwarming closings with new parents buying their first home.
Whether you're getting ready to close on your first home or just trying to understand what happens after your offer is accepted, this episode offers expert insight and actionable advice to help you feel more confident and prepared. Buying in Utah? Make sure you know the dirt before you sign on the dotted line.
