Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Deed of Trust?
A Deed of Trust is a legal document that secures a real estate loan by placing the property as collateral. It’s a standard structure in seller-financed deals to protect both parties until the loan is repaid.
Why do I need title services for seller financing?
Title services ensure the property has a clear title, the loan documents are valid, and the deed is properly recorded — providing legal protection for both buyer and seller.
Who holds the Deed of Trust during repayment?
Typically, a neutral third-party trustee (like The Title Guy) holds the deed of trust until the loan is fully paid. Once satisfied, the title transfers completely to the buyer.
