Buying a home in Ohio and not sure what the difference is between a "deed" and a "title?" You’re not alone.

In this quick video, I break it down in plain English—no legal jargon, no fluff. Just the simple explanation every Ohio buyer (or seller!) should hear before heading to the closing table.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

✅ What a title really means (hint: it’s not a document)

✅ What a deed does (this 'is' the document)

✅ What makes Ohio a “deed state”

✅ Which type of deed protects you the most

✅ What happens if you’re financing with a mortgage

Whether you’re buying your first home or brushing up before a big move, I hope this helps you feel more confident and informed.
