Titles, Closings, & Confidence w/ Pete Perperas

Coming up on 20 years in the title business, our next guest Pete Perperas (@pperperas) of RealSafe Title (@realsafetitle) breaks down everything buyers, sellers, and agents should know about title insurance and real estate closings in New Jersey.

Pete shares how he went from bartending to becoming one of NJ’s most trusted title pros, explaining how the industry evolved from attorney-driven to realtor-driven and from the old HUD to today’s Closing Disclosure (CD) system. He dives into what title really is, why lender’s vs. owner’s policies (and enhanced coverage) matter, and how to avoid overpaying with transparent fees.

We also get into e-recording, county deed-alert systems, and why 45–60 days is a normal closing timeline. Plus, Peter offers first-time buyer tips on escrow, surveys, and what to expect at the table — along with real stories about turning stressful closings into smooth transactions through communication and care.

🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube — and if nothing else… I Hope This Helps.
