Who is typically NOT qualified to render an opinion on the condition of the seller's title?

  1. Real estate attorney

  2. Title insurance company

  3. Real estate licensee

  4. Appraiser

The correct answer is: Real estate licensee

A real estate licensee is typically not qualified to render an opinion on the condition of the seller's title because their primary role is to facilitate the buying and selling of properties rather than to provide legal opinions. Title opinions require specialized knowledge regarding property laws, liens, and other legal encumbrances that affect the title. In contrast, real estate attorneys are specifically trained to analyze legal documents and determine the status and condition of a title. Title insurance companies also assess titles for potential issues and can provide insurance coverage for those risks. Appraisers focus on determining the value of a property and do not provide legal opinions about titles. Thus, while all these professionals have specific expertise in the real estate process, only a real estate licensee lacks the specialized training to offer a reliable opinion on title conditions.
