Probably bc it’s an affiliate and they get a kick back.

Relax Pal, I think you’re reading too much into the term “kickback”. People can call it an affiliate agreement and disclose it, but ultimately, it’s a kickback to the realtor.

They all do the same thing. Realtors have good relations, know they’ll get the work done as they like etc but tbh titles rarely do kickbacks. Same for inspection recommendations or lender recommendations. A good realtor has a good Rolodex of people to call on to keep things moving quickly.

A title company gives me a steak dinner once a year and if I had to recommend to a title company I'd suggest them (tho I represent lenders so have no say in it)


The reality is they all do the same work and are confined, by statute, to charge the same. That company is just as good as the next.

Additional Posts in The Real Estate Bowl

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!
