Bulletproofing Your Closings: Title Risks, Red Flags & Legal Safeguards (Mixer Format)
Free
Christine Gilmore
Vice President of Sales | Chicago Title
Summary
Join us for a night of edutainment—where education meets entertainment! This mixer-style event is designed to help you connect with fellow real estate investors while diving into some of the most overlooked (and potentially deal-killing) title issues in real estate. Learn how to spot red flags before closing, structure your deals smarter, and protect your investments—all while enjoying great conversation.
This meeting will be different from our usual monthly gatherings. The speaking portion will be shorter (20 – 30 minutes) than the networking time, and instead of a traditional presentation, Sam Sadat will host an engaging interview-style discussion with Christine. It will be highly interactive, with opportunities for the audience to ask questions throughout the conversation—making for a dynamic and valuable experience you won’t want to miss.
