Tax proration seems simple… until it’s not.
In this episode, Cheryl breaks down:
Why “the software does it” is NOT a real answer
The tiny tax mistakes that trigger massive post-closing drama
A real-life story about a senior discount gone sideways
And the ONE question every title agent should be able to answer at the table
🎯 Whether you’re a new processor or a seasoned closer, this episode will help you explain tax prorations without stammering, sweating, or stalling.
Because the ONE Question Every Title Agent Should Be Able to Answer is:
"Wait, why am I paying that?"
Nobody likes a title agent who can't explain the closing disclosure with confidence and clarity.
🤝 Be the Person Who Gets It Right
Tax proration doesn’t have to be this black box of weird math.
You can learn it. You can explain it. And you can protect your clients from surprise costs and post-closing nonsense.
