Title 101: Understanding the Title Commitment, Survey & ALTA 10.20.26

A smooth closing starts long before closing day — and it starts with understanding the documents that drive it.

Join Real Estate Attorney Cheri Kuenn for a practical, Realtor-focused Title 101 class that demystifies the key documents behind every real estate closing. This session walks you through how to read a title commitment, identify survey issues before they become deal-breakers, understand ALTA coverage, and confidently explain settlement statements to your clients.

Whether you’re building your foundation in title and closing documents or filling in the gaps after years in the field, you’ll walk away with the knowledge to spot red flags early, protect your clients, and guide every transaction to the closing table with confidence.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to read and analyze a title commitment
  • Common survey issues that can impact marketability and closing readiness
  • What ALTA coverage protects — and why it matters for your buyers
  • How to review and explain settlement statements clearly and confidently
  • Title-related red flags that can delay or derail a closing

Here's How It Works:

Simple Submission: Using Payload, you can send your EMD funds. The platform is designed to ensure your transaction is both secure and hassle-free.

Transparent Fee Structure: A nominal processing fee of $12.00 will be applied to your transaction. This fee is disclosed during the submission process.

Instant Confirmation: Once your transaction is completed, you’ll receive an immediate confirmation email from Payload. Our accounting team will also be promptly notified, usually within minutes of the transfer.

Specifically for EMD: Payload is exclusively for submitting your Earnest Money Deposit ONLY. It is not to be used for final closing proceeds or any other payments.
