In this essential episode of The Perfect Property, Juli sits down with Atlanta native Kevin Murphy, a seasoned real estate attorney at the Fryer Law Firm, to unpack one of the most overlooked yet critical components of any real estate transaction: title insurance. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a seasoned investor, or an agent looking to better protect your clients, understanding title insurance is a must — and Kevin brings the clarity.
With decades of experience navigating closings, disputes, and everything in between, Kevin breaks down exactly what title insurance is, why it's not just “another fee,” and how it can protect buyers from legal and financial surprises long after the keys are handed over. From fraud and forgeries to unexpected heirs and unresolved liens, the risks are real — and the right policy makes all the difference.
Kevin also walks us through the key differences between a standard title policy and an enhanced one, explaining what’s covered, what’s not, and when it makes sense to upgrade. He shares smart tips, common misconceptions, and real-world scenarios that highlight why title insurance should never be an afterthought.
