 Are you unknowingly walking into a real estate deal loaded with hidden liens, legal landmines, or million-dollar surprises? Ever wondered what a title search really reveals before you buy? Or how the “big boys” protect themselves on every single deal—long before closing? In this episode of the Fiscally Fabulous podcast, host Dr. Teresa R. Martin, Esq. pulls back the curtain on one of the most overlooked profit killers in real estate: failing to do a proper title search before you buy. Guest Jess Barker, CEO and founder of Title Search Direct, shares how he transformed his legal studies background into a nationwide title intelligence firm serving small investors, Realtors, attorneys, lenders, and tax lien buyers. Together, they break down what a title search actually reveals, the difference between pre-screening reports and full closing searches, the red flags investors miss most, and how affordable, professional due diligence helps you know before you owe—and protect your deals, your profit, and your legacy. Quotes: “Many people hawk, quote-unquote, instant title search. There's no such thing… I mean, there is, but it's not actionable. You're going to have third-party database information. It's a difference between data and actionable intelligence.” – Jess Barker “There is no such thing as an instant title search — not one you can actually rely on.” – Jess Barker “Trust yourself, that you can do this… This is a way to level the playing field, to democratize the access to this type of information.” – Jess Barker Key Takeaways: What a title search really reveals – ownership, taxes, assessed value, liens, mortgages, and civil judgments pulled from official county and court records. Pre-screening vs. full title search – when a lower-cost current-owner check is enough, and when you must go deeper into the chain of title to satisfy legislative and title insurance standards.
