Hello.
I am paying cash for a property today and they have already had the title and everything checked by a title company (When they bought the property)
To save money, I will close in the sellers office and they will transfer the title deed to my name, in a few days.
Is this the way it works, when simply transferring title?
I will give them a cashiers check.

Thanks for any feedback.

No, that's not the way it works. You need to have a title search done to protect you from any liens that may have been put against the property while the seller owned it.

You might be buying a property with a loan on it. I hope it is not too late.

Or you could be paying for something that's already been sold to someone else.

We had a piece of land up here that was sold to five (5) other unrelated (and gullible) parties before the culprit was caught.

With the elevation of identity theft to an art-form, bogus real estate transactions and mortgage fraud are some of the places they can score big.

Now is not the time to cut corners . . . . get your own Attorney and have your own Title Search performed. And then have him review the proposed Closing Statement BEFORE going into the Seller's Den with that Cashier's Check. Good luck !
