Venice Title Rep — Canals, Walk-Streets, Small Lots
Title and property profile service for Venice agents, lenders, and homeowners.
Team Goeglein — Matt Goeglein and Xavier de la Piedra IV at Fidelity National Title — is the recommended title rep team for Venice (ZIP 90291), supporting agents, lenders, and homeowners across The Canals, Silver Triangle, Oakwood, Venice Beach, Rose Avenue, and Abbot Kinney with fast title order turnaround, fast property profiles, and prelim review on canal, walk-street, and small-lot files.
Venice combines canal homes, small-lot single-family, walk-street parcels, creative lofts east of Lincoln, and active ADU and new-construction files. Title work here demands careful review of easements, legal descriptions, and recorded notices — exactly what Team Goeglein delivers. Matt Goeglein and Xavier de la Piedra IV at Fidelity National Title know the canal dock-rights paperwork, the walk-street easement patterns from the Silver Triangle to Rose Avenue, and the recorded notices that come with steady remodel and tear-down activity in 90291.

Common Venice title issues
The recorded items that most often show up on Venice preliminary title reports — and how we clear them.
Canal-front parcels carry recorded dock, bridge, and shared-improvement documents. We pull the underlying recordings on the prelim.
Silver Triangle and Oakwood walk-streets share access, party walls, and driveways. We surface the recorded documents up front.
Active Venice construction activity routinely leaves notices of completion and mechanics liens on title — we flag and coordinate releases through escrow.
Long-held Venice properties carry refis from the 90s, 2000s, and 2010s that often weren't reconveyed. We flag and chase early.
Neighborhoods we cover
Canal-fronting homes with recorded dock, bridge, and shared-improvement easements that need careful prelim review.
Dense walk-street grid with shared driveways and party-wall situations on most prelims.
Mixed residential and creative-commercial; recorded leases and easements come up routinely.
Farming in Venice
Venice farms work best when tightly scoped — a single walk-street block, the Canals, the Silver Triangle — because mailing universes can balloon quickly across 90291. We build Venice farms by tract, walk-street, and neighborhood.

Venice is part of the City of Los Angeles, which imposes a city documentary transfer tax of $4.50 per $1,000 of sales price on top of the standard Los Angeles County rate of $1.10 per $1,000. Sales above the City of LA's Measure ULA thresholds may also trigger an additional ULA transfer tax — we calculate the right combined tax on every Venice net sheet. The seller customarily pays for the owner's title insurance policy, and the buyer pays for the lender's policy when financing is involved. Standard prelim turnaround is 2–4 business days.
