How You Take Title Matters: What Homeowners Need to Know
Guest: Nate Imparato, Lawyers Title
Hosts: Lexie Haskin, Bank Midwest & Patrick Dipman, McGrew Real Estate
At closing, you’ll sign a lot of paperwork—but there’s one decision that deserves more attention than simply checking a box: how you take title to your home.
In this episode of Lawrence Real + Local: Keepin’ it Real, Nate Imparato with Lawyers Title joins Lexie and Patrick to break down what “taking title” actually means, some of the common ways property can be owned, and why that decision can have implications long after closing day.
We talk about:
🏠 Sole ownership, joint tenancy, and tenants in common
👥 The differences between joint tenants and tenants in common
❤️ What married couples and families should consider before deciding how to hold title
📋 What may happen to ownership when one owner passes away
⚖️ How title can interact with wills and estate planning
📁 When homeowners may consider holding property in a trust
🔄 Why changing title later isn't necessarily as simple as changing a name on a document
❓ Who buyers should involve when their situation requires legal, tax, or estate-planning advice
Plus, we're putting some common assumptions to the test in Fact or Fiction: Title Edition. Does a will automatically override the way title is held? Are trusts only for wealthy homeowners? Does everyone named on a deed necessarily own the same percentage?
The biggest takeaway: how you take title isn't just paperwork. Understanding your options—and asking the right professionals the right questions before closing—can help you make a decision that fits your individual circumstances.
This episode is for general educational purposes and isn't a substitute for individualized legal, tax, or estate-planning advice.

Where Housing Meets Community: The Impact of the Lawrence REALTORS® Community Foundation
Guest: Greta Carter-Wilson, Coldwell Banker American Home
Hosts: Lexie Haskin, Bank Midwest & Patrick Dipman, McGrew Real Estate
What does housing stability have to do with the health of an entire community? As it turns out—a lot.
In this episode of Lawrence Real + Local: Keepin’ it Real, Greta Carter-Wilson with Coldwell Banker American Home joins us to talk about the Lawrence REALTORS® Community Foundation, its mission, and how money raised through some of our favorite local events is put to work right here in Douglas County.
The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) focused on supporting organizations that help stabilize housing for at-risk households—and that mission goes far beyond helping someone purchase a home.
We talk about:
🏠 What housing stability looks like in our community
❤️ The local organizations and programs the Foundation supports
💰 How more than $300,000 has been awarded to local housing efforts since the Foundation began
🎰 How events like All-In Casino Night raise money while bringing the community together
⛳ The impact of the annual Charity Classic Golf Tournament
🙌 How REALTORS®, local businesses, sponsors, and community members make these efforts possible
📝 How local 501(c)(3) organizations can apply for Foundation funding
🤝 How grant recipients are selected and how those dollars make a difference
One of the most important things to know? 100% of fundraising proceeds go directly back into community programs. The Lawrence Board of REALTORS® covers the Foundation's administrative costs, allowing the money raised through these events to support the mission.
And you don't have to be a REALTOR® to get involved. These events and opportunities are about bringing the whole community together to help make housing more stable for our neighbors.
Plus, we're putting some common assumptions about the Foundation to the test in Fact or Fiction.

Before You Buy: Why Sewer Line Inspections Matter
Guest: Jonathan Price, Greenline Underground, Inc.Hosts: Lexie Haskin, Bank Midwest & Patrick Dipman, McGrew Real EstateYou can inspect the roof, test the HVAC, and walk through every room—but there’s one potentially expensive part of a home you can’t see just by looking at it: the sewer line.In this episode of Lawrence Real + Local: Keepin’ it Real, Jonathan Price of Greenline Underground, Inc. joins Lexie and Patrick to explain why sewer line inspections are becoming an important consideration during the homebuying process and what a camera inspection can uncover before a problem becomes a very expensive surprise.We cover:🚽 What your home's sewer line actually does and how it connects to the city system📹 What happens during a sewer scope and what professionals are looking for🌳 How tree roots, aging materials, blockages, and deterioration can create problems🏠 Why older homes may deserve some extra attention⚠️ Warning signs homeowners shouldn't ignore💰 What repairs can involve when an issue is discovered🔍 Why a standard home inspection typically doesn't include a sewer scope🤝 How sewer line problems can impact negotiations during a real estate transaction🛠️ What homeowners can do to help protect and maintain their sewer linesPlus, in our Fact or Fiction: Sewer Edition, we tackle common misconceptions—including whether sewer inspections are only necessary when there's already a problem and whether anything that makes it down the drain is fair game.For buyers, a sewer scope can provide valuable information about something that's otherwise completely out of sight. And for homeowners, understanding what's happening underground can help prevent a nasty—and potentially costly—surprise later.🎧 Editing & Music: Josiah Moreno🎙️ Podcast Equipment & Space: Lawrence Public Library🏡 2026 Season Sponsor: Bank Midwest | Lexie Haskin | NMLS #2093113👏 Special thanks to Campbell Ragan with McGrew Real Estate for all of her work behind the scenes coordinating guests, organizing details, and helping keep the podcast running smoothly.
