Title reviewed
No property gets listed without a title review. If there's a lien, we tell you in the first conversation.
About us
An office that reads the title before showing you the property.
Real estate in Atlanta, with a title review up front on every deal.
Note The question we get most often starts with: "I already put down earnest money, and now they're telling me..."
Our approach
What gets signed is worth more than what gets promised.
Threshold grew out of a story we kept seeing: a buyer hands over a deposit, no contract, on a property nobody checked. When the lien or the heir who never signed shows up, that money doesn't come back.
- An office with its own listings, reviewed before they go live.
- The capacity to cover buying, renting, valuations, mortgages and title cleanup.
- Predictable: title reviewed, price backed by data and everything in writing.
Three moments in every deal
-
Title
The title gets reviewed before you ever see the property.
-
Price
It's compared against real closed sales in the area.
-
Contract
Earnest money, deadlines and conditions in writing, never on a handshake.
What we solve
It almost always starts with one of these.
We start from what's actually worrying the client, not from a list of homes.
Pick a situation to see how we'd handle it.
They're asking for a cash deposit. Is that OK?
Not without a document. We draw up the agreement with the amount, the deadline and what happens if your financing falls through, before you hand over anything.
View related serviceHow do I know the seller actually owns it?
We pull the title and verify ownership, liens and marital status. If there's a spouse or heirs, they have to sign too.
View related serviceI don't know how much a lender will approve.
We work out what you can really afford and compare the total cost across lenders, not just the monthly payment.
View related serviceI listed my condo and nobody's biting.
It's almost always a price out of line with the market or a weak listing. We value it, fix the listing and screen for serious buyers.
View related serviceI inherited a house and can't sell it.
That gets solved through probate and transferring title to the heirs. We tell you what's missing and how long it usually takes.
View related serviceI want to buy a rental. What will it bring in?
We calculate the net return with HOA dues, property taxes and vacant months included. It's usually lower than the listing says.
View related serviceI rented my place out and the tenant stopped paying.
A well-drafted lease and the right deposit prevent it. If it's already happened, we handle collections and the end of the lease.

How we work
Five steps in every deal.
The same order for a $1,500 rental and a half-million-dollar sale.
- 01
Consultation
Before we show you anything, we ask what you need, whether you'll live there or rent it out, and what you really have to work with between your down payment and your loan. Showing you ten homes outside your budget wastes everyone's time.
- 02
Title check
We pull the title on every property we're going to show you and check ownership, liens, mortgages and judgments. If something turns up, we tell you before the showing, not after you've fallen in love with the place.
- 03
Showing
We schedule the showing for a set time and go with you. We point out the good and the bad: moisture, traffic noise, an old elevator, high HOA dues. Nobody makes a good decision from a wide-angle photo.
- 04
Agreement
We negotiate the price with market data behind it and put everything in writing: the amount, how you'll pay, the earnest money, the deadlines and what happens if your financing falls through. Handing over a deposit without a contract is the most common way to lose money in this business.
- 05
Closing
We see you through the closing with the title company and the recording of the deed. We let you know when the deed is recorded with the county and hand you a copy. The deal isn't done when you sign; it's done when the property is in your name.
Why THRESHOLD?
What you'll find here.
It's not just about closing the deal. It's about nobody questioning your ownership five years from now.
A price backed by data
The price is compared against real closed sales in the area, not what the owner thinks it's worth.
We'll tell you not to buy
If a property has a problem that isn't worth it, we tell you, even if we lose the commission.
Everything in writing
Deposits, earnest money and deadlines in a signed document. No money changes hands over a text message.
With you to the end
From the first showing to the recorded deed. We don't disappear on closing day.
Verified listings
We work with properties we've checked ourselves, not listings copied from other sites.
1 Title review before listing No property goes on our list without a clean, current title check.
8 Brokerage services Four for buying and renting, four for legal and financial backup.
