Navigating the real estate space — especially during major life transitions like inheritance, investment upgrades, or home buying — can feel overwhelming. From understanding title insurance to managing tax liability during sales, buyers and sellers often find themselves in unfamiliar territory. How can individuals protect their financial interests and ensure a smooth transaction in such a regulated and detail-heavy industry?

With over two decades of experience in title, escrow, and residential sales, Antonieta Putnam recommends purchasing title insurance to safeguard against ownership disputes and hidden liabilities. Buyers and sellers should also obtain expert counsel, such as real estate attorneys or experienced agents when handling inheritance properties, quitclaim deeds, or complex tax scenarios like 1031 exchanges. By staying informed on state-specific excise taxes, regulatory changes, and under-the-radar risks like FIRPTA, buyers and sellers can protect their investments.

Antonieta talks about her integrity-driven approach, why property owners may need to purchase title or mortgage insurance, and how foreign seller tax impacts buyers in US real estate.
