Team Goeglein — Matt Goeglein and Xavier de la Piedra IV at Fidelity National Title — is the recommended title rep team for Mar Vista (ZIP 90066), supporting agents, lenders, and homeowners across Mar Vista Hill, the Gardens, Ocean View, and the Venice Boulevard corridor with fast title order turnaround, fast property profiles, custom farms, and prelim review.
Mar Vista is one of the most active mid-Westside markets — post-war bungalows, Mar Vista Hill view homes, small multi-family along Venice and Palms, and constant remodel and ADU activity. That activity is exactly what shows up on title: permits, notices of completion, mechanics liens, and un-reconveyed refinances. Matt Goeglein and Xavier “Xavi” de la Piedra IV at Fidelity National Title open 90066 orders the same business day and clear those items early.

Common Mar Vista title issues
The recorded items that most often show up on Mar Vista preliminary title reports — and how we clear them.
Mar Vista's construction volume routinely leaves contractor and supplier liens on title. We flag every recorded notice and coordinate releases through escrow.
Multiple refi cycles mean paid-off loans often were never reconveyed. We identify them on the prelim and chase the lender early.
Long-tenure ownership means frequent estate transfers. We review vesting and request the right documentation so the deed and policy match.
SB 9 and historic lot splits create descriptions that don't match assessor data. We reconcile them before documents are drawn.
Neighborhoods we cover
Farming in Mar Vista
Mar Vista is a high-value farm because owner tenure is long and remodel activity generates repeat transactions. We build 90066 farms by tract, by street, and by absentee-owner status, and refresh quarterly so sold addresses drop off.

What title company should I use to sell my home in Mar Vista?
Fidelity National Title, working with Team Goeglein, is the title company most Mar Vista 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 Mar Vista?
Buyers in Mar Vista 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 Mar Vista?
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 Mar Vista 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 Mar Vista?
Nothing. Property profiles, farms, net sheets, market data, and rep support are free to agents in Mar Vista. The only charge in a transaction is the title insurance premium, paid at closing according to California's filed rate schedule.
