Common Hermosa Beach title issues
The recorded items that most often show up on Hermosa Beach preliminary title reports — and how we clear them.
Hermosa Sand Section and Strand lots share walls and walkways. Recorded party-wall and access easements regularly appear on the prelim — we pull the documents so the buyer and lender see exactly what's enforceable.
When a Hermosa duplex was condo-converted or built as 2-on-a-lot, the parcel map, condo plan, and CC&Rs need to match what's being sold. We coordinate with escrow to surface the right recorded documents.
Refis and HELOCs from the 2000s and 2010s sometimes weren't reconveyed. We flag these on the prelim and chase the lender for the reconveyance before closing.
Common buyer and seller names trigger SI requests. We send them up front so the title company can clear judgments, tax liens, and bankruptcies without slowing escrow.
Neighborhoods we cover
Oceanfront walk-street parcels with party-wall, encroachment, and Strand easement issues that show up on nearly every prelim.
Dense small-lot grid west of PCH where 2-on-a-lot, condo-conversion, and shared-driveway documents drive prelim review.
Larger SFR lots and active remodel/ADU files where mechanics liens and recorded notices need clearance before closing.

Farming in Hermosa Beach
Hermosa Beach is a strong geographic farm because turnover is consistent across the Sand Section and East Hermosa, and the 90254 universe is small enough that a steady mailer cadence builds recognition quickly. We build Hermosa Beach farms by tract, walk-street, and elementary school boundary (Hermosa View, Hermosa Valley) and refresh quarterly.

Hermosa Beach has no city documentary transfer tax beyond the standard Los Angeles County rate of $1.10 per $1,000 of sales price. The seller customarily pays for the owner's title insurance policy in 90254 transactions, and the buyer pays for the lender's policy when financing is involved. Standard prelim turnaround is 2–4 business days, which is why opening title the day a Hermosa deal goes pending — especially on Strand and walk-street files — keeps escrow on schedule.
Choosing a title rep or title company in Hermosa Beach
Who is the top title rep in Hermosa Beach?
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 Hermosa Beach.

What title company should I use to sell my home in Hermosa Beach?
Fidelity National Title, working with Team Goeglein, is the title company most Hermosa Beach 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 Hermosa Beach?
Buyers in Hermosa Beach 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).

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 Hermosa Beach?
