You’re at the closing table…
And a $15,000 lien suddenly appears.
Yes — this actually happens.

We sat down with Chuck Crosby to talk about:
• Surprise liens (including the “drunken bricklayer” situation)
• Why they’re hard to prevent
• How title insurance protects buyers
• How liens can be bonded off
• Why having a strong real estate attorney matters
After 30,000+ closings, we’ve seen what can go wrong — and how to protect yourself before it does.

Thinking about selling to a house flipper? ⚠️
Before you sign anything… watch this.
Lowball offers are just the beginning.

We’re talking about:
• Memorandums of contract recorded at the courthouse
• Power of attorney clauses giving buyers broad control
• Deals that fall apart… but still haunt sellers years later

These are real issues we’ve seen right here in Kentucky. If a flipper is knocking on your door, you need to understand what you’re signing.

Can you bring a bag of cash to the closing table to avoid taxes? 💰🏡

Short answer: No — and here’s why.
There are strict reporting requirements for large cash transactions. Lenders require certified funds (not literal cash). And suspicious activity gets flagged fast — including by the IRS.

Even if you’re a cash buyer, you’ll still need certified funds from a verified bank account. Real estate doesn’t work like the movies.
If you’re buying or selling a home in Louisville, KY, understanding the rules protects you from costly mistakes.
