   Ep. 21 - Land Deals Gone Wrong: Title Issues, Fraud & Closing Surprises

   Buying or selling land is about a lot more than signing a contract and showing up at the closing table.In this episode of the Grounded: A HomeLand Properties Roundtable Podcast, Kolby and Shera sit down with Casey from Hometown Title to talk about what really happens behind the scenes of a land transaction.From title commitments and complicated legal descriptions to rural land challenges, seller preparation and property fraud, there are often issues that buyers and sellers never see until they're already in the middle of a transaction.In this episode, we talk about:• Why every land transaction can be different• What title companies actually look for in a property• Title commitments, liens, judgments and easements• Why due diligence BEFORE listing a property matters• How title fraud and fake sellers are becoming increasingly sophisticated• Why vacant land can be particularly vulnerable to scams• The importance of title insurance• What sellers should know before signing a contract• Why communication between agents, title companies and clients matters• The emotional side of selling family land• Why the closing table isn't always as simple as signing paperwork• How being proactive can prevent problems laterWe also share some real-world stories—including a situation where someone attempted to sell property they didn't own and a decades-old ownership dispute that demonstrates why title research matters.At HomeLand Properties, we specialize in helping buyers and sellers navigate the unique challenges that come with land transactions. Our goal isn't simply to get a property under contract—it's to help our clients make it all the way to a successful closing.🎙️ *Grounded: A HomeLand Properties Roundtable Podcast*📍 HomeLand Properties | Land Specialists Since 1990#HomeLandProperties (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/homelandproperties) #LandForSale (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/landforsale) #LandRealEstate (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/landrealestate) #TexasLand (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/texasland) #RealEstate (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/realestate) #LandInvesting (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/landinvesting) #TitleCompany (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/titlecompany) #RealEstateTips (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/realestatetips) #RuralLand (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/ruralland) #BuyingLand (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/buyingland) #SellingLand (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sellingland)

   Ep. 20 - The History Beneath Your Feet: Land Surveying in East Texas with Carey Johnson

   In this episode of Grounded, we sit down with Carey Johnson, owner and president of Northpoint Surveying, to explore what land surveying really involves—and why it matters more than most landowners realize.Carey shares his 20+ years of experience as a registered professional land surveyor in Texas, walking us through what happens from the moment a survey is requested to the final delivery. We dive into boundary determination, metes and bounds descriptions, old family land tracts, and why acreage and property lines almost always change when a modern survey is done. Along the way, Carey explains common misconceptions, the critical research that happens behind the scenes, and how surveys can uncover historical surprises, lost acreage, and even long-forgotten deeds. We also discuss:Why appraisal district maps often don’t match realityHow old deeds, moved creeks, and historic monuments affect boundariesThe balance between fieldwork and office research in surveyingHow modern technology (GPS, CAD, AI) fits into today’s surveying worldWhy landowners should get surveys even if they aren’t sellingThe future of surveying and why the industry needs more professionalsCarey also shares how he found surveying through what he calls “divine intervention,” his passion for land history, and why customer service and empathy matter just as much as technical expertise. Whether you’re a landowner, buyer, seller, agent, or simply curious about how land boundaries are established, this episode offers valuable insight into the profession that quite literally defines property.Hosted By:Mikayla Burris & Angela Smith - Homeland Properties AgentsOffice: 936-295-2500www.homelandprop.comGuest: Carey Johnson - Northpoint Survey | OwnerOffice: 936-900-9972www.npsurveying.com
