Overcoming Title Hurdles to Deliver a Truly Stress-Free Closing
At Rapid Fire Home Buyers, we pride ourselves on being more than just home buyers — we’re real estate problem solvers. Every property tells a story, and every seller brings a unique situation to the table. This month’s featured deal, 223 Marian Drive in Prattville, is a perfect example of how our team goes above and beyond to make sure our sellers can walk away feeling confident and cared for.
The Challenge: A Title Full of Surprises
When our team first worked with the seller, everything seemed straightforward. But as soon as the title work began, the challenges started stacking up. What looked like a simple purchase turned into a complex puzzle involving multiple liens, missing information, and a few unexpected discoveries.
1. The First Mortgage: Tracking Down the Payoff
The first obstacle came early — we couldn’t locate the seller’s loan information. Without a loan number, our title partner couldn’t even request a payoff. That’s when our team jumped into action, coordinating directly with the lender to get the necessary details.
It took collaboration with a helpful contact at the mortgage company to confirm the loan through alternate verification methods. It wasn’t quick or easy, but persistence paid off, and we finally secured the payoff to keep the deal moving.
2. The Second Mortgage: An Expired Note and a Twist
The next challenge came with a second mortgage — one that had no contact information listed. That’s when Angeli, one of our standout team members, took the lead. She coordinated with our title team to track down the lienholder, only to discover that he had, sadlly, passed away.
Many would’ve stopped there, but Angeli kept going. Working closely with title, she helped prepare and approve an affidavit confirming that the note had expired, allowing us to remove the lien and clear the path forward.
3. The HVAC Lien: A True Test of Patience
Just when we thought the finish line was in sight, another lien surfaced — this time from an HVAC company. Tracking down the correct department for a payoff turned into a marathon of phone calls, research, and waiting games.
Our team refused to quit until the right contact was found. After multiple calls and extensive follow-up, we finally obtained the official payoff, clearing the final hurdle to close.
The Outcome: A Clean Title and a 5-Star Experience
After navigating through each challenge with care and persistence, we were able to bring the deal to a successful close. Our seller walked away relieved, knowing that every detail — from the smallest form to the toughest title issue — had been handled professionally and with compassion.
The best part? They left us a glowing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Google review, thanking our team for making a stressful situation feel easy.
The Rapid Fire Difference
What makes Rapid Fire Home Buyers different isn’t just that we buy houses — it’s how we handle the hard parts. Title issues, liens, missing information, expired notes — we see these as opportunities to serve, not obstacles.

For us, 223 Marian Drive wasn’t just another address — it was another chance to prove that we don’t just close deals… we close with care.
