Battle Scar — Self-Disclosed

"In 2019, I represented a buyer on a $2.1M vineyard property. Three days before close, the seller's trust dispute surfaced and the deal collapsed. We lost our rate lock and the client was devastated. I spent the next six months helping them secure a replacement property at a better price. The lesson: always run a preliminary title search on trust-held properties before offer, no exceptions."
