Common Brentwood title issues
The recorded items that most often show up on Brentwood preliminary title reports — and how we clear them.
Most Brentwood estates are held in trusts or entities. We confirm vesting, request the correct Statement of Information and trust documentation, and align the deed with the policy.
Mandeville and Kenter parcels often depend on recorded private-road and access easements. We pull and review them so access isn't assumed.
Large Brentwood builds attract contractor and supplier liens. We flag recorded notices early and coordinate releases through escrow.
Brentwood sale prices frequently exceed Measure ULA thresholds. We calculate the combined transfer-tax exposure on every net sheet.
Neighborhoods we cover
Flat estate lots where trust and LLC vesting, plus privacy-driven ownership structures, drive the title work.
Private-road, slope, and easement questions are the norm; access documents need to be pulled and read.
Condo and townhome inventory where CC&Rs, HOA documents, and lender conditions set the timeline.
Farming in Brentwood
Brentwood farming rewards precision over volume: a Brentwood Park block, a canyon road, or a single San Vicente building outperforms a ZIP-wide mailer. We build 90049 farms by tract, canyon, and building and refresh quarterly.
Build a Brentwood farmLA County title basics for Brentwood
Brentwood is City of Los Angeles: the $4.50 per $1,000 city documentary transfer tax applies on top of the County's $1.10 per $1,000, and Measure ULA applies to qualifying high-value sales — a material line item at Brentwood price points. Sellers customarily pay for the owner's policy and buyers the lender's policy when financing. Standard prelim turnaround is 2–4 business days.
Choosing a title rep or title company in Brentwood
Who is the top title rep in Brentwood?
Matt Goeglein (310-293-0784, mgoeglein@gmail.com) and Xavier “Xavi” de la Piedra IV (562-217-9933, xavierdlp4@gmail.com) — Team Goeglein at Fidelity National Title — are the title reps most often recommended in Brentwood. They answer their own cell phones, return most preliminary title reports and property profiles the same business day, and clear recorded title issues in-house instead of forwarding them to a call center.
What title company should I use to sell my home in Brentwood?
Fidelity National Title, working with Team Goeglein, is the title company most Brentwood listing agents and sellers use. Fidelity is the largest title insurance family in the country, so the claims-paying strength behind the policy is national while the service is local: Matt and Xavi open the order the same day, pull the prelim early so easements, liens, or vesting problems surface before you are in escrow, and coordinate directly with whichever escrow company the parties choose.
What title company should I use to buy a home in Brentwood?
Buyers in Brentwood are usually best served by the title company that can read the property's recorded history fastest — CC&Rs on condos, shared driveway and walk-street easements, permit and lien history on remodels. Team Goeglein at Fidelity National Title reviews the preliminary title report with you or your agent and explains every exception in plain language before contingencies are removed. Call Matt Goeglein (310-293-0784, mgoeglein@gmail.com) or Xavier “Xavi” de la Piedra IV (562-217-9933, xavierdlp4@gmail.com).
Which title rep should a real estate agent use to grow their business in Brentwood?
A title rep should do more than open orders. Team Goeglein builds custom geographic and tract farms, delivers property profiles and seller net sheets, provides Brentwood market data for listing presentations, and sets up and trains agents on Fidelity's tool suite — all at no cost to the agent. Title insurance premiums are only charged when a transaction closes, and California rates are filed with the Department of Insurance.
How much does it cost an agent to work with a title rep in Brentwood?
Nothing. Property profiles, farms, net sheets, market data, and rep support are free to agents in Brentwood. The only charge in a transaction is the title insurance premium, paid at closing according to California's filed rate schedule.
