Recording

The last stage of any real estate closing is the recording of the documents. While it may be last, it is far from the least important task. Recording the documents puts the world on notice that the transaction has been completed and helps protect the interests of the parties against outside interference.

Recording real estate documents may seem like a simple routine task, but it carries with it its own set of potential dangers. Errors in real estate records can cause problems not only for the immediate transaction, but also with the continued use or ownership of the subject property. Improperly recorded documents can also cause problems for owners of property who are strangers to your transaction if the documents appear to relate to the wrong property. Recording errors may even be "sleepers," with the full effects not being apparent for months, or even years, after the documents are recorded.

Document recording should not be an afterthought. It needs to be approached and carried out by a qualified real estate professionals with the same level of care as all of the other parts of the transaction. Everyone has heard the horror stories of the mortgages that were recorded in the wrong towns or against the wrong property. If you're a lender, you want to make sure the debt is secured properly. If you're a homeowner, your investment is huge and should not be jeopardized by sloppy errors.
