When buying or selling a home, the property’s title status plays a crucial role in ensuring a smooth closing. Many assume that a marketable title is just as good as a clear title, but that’s not the case. While a marketable title may be legally acceptable for sale, it does not guarantee that future title issues won’t arise.

At Great Move Realty, we always recommend working with a trusted title company that prioritizes clear title work—which is why American Title Solutions is our preferred partner.

Marketable Title vs. Clear Title: What’s the Difference?

📜 Marketable Title: This means that title defects or ownership issues are unlikely to arise within legally defined timeframes. However, it does not eliminate the risk of future claims, liens, or disputes.

✅ Clear Title: A clear title ensures that there are absolutely no outstanding legal claims, liens, or defects—providing buyers, sellers, and lenders with complete confidence in ownership.

A property may have a marketable title but not a truly clear title. That’s why it’s critical to work with a title company that ensures complete title clarity before closing.
