Distilled Title Company

🚀 September 2026 Recap – Distilled Title Company 🚀

September was a milestone month for our team at Distilled Title Company.

📊 By the Numbers
🏡 8 Total Transactions
🔑 5 Purchases
📄 3 Refinances
💰 $37.2 Million in Real Estate Transacted
🏢 First 8-figure closing

One of the most intriguing parts of September's results was the makeup of our transactions: every transaction involved an investment property.

It was also the first month where we closed our first 8-figure real estate transactions as a company.

For us, that's an exciting milestone, not simply because of the dollar volume, but because of the opportunity to work alongside investors, lenders, realtors, and other real estate professionals on increasingly complex transactions.

📈 What We're Seeing in the Market
The continued activity we're seeing from investors has been encouraging. While investors are being selective and underwriting deals carefully, there are still opportunities being found when the numbers, financing, and overall investment strategy make sense.

We're also seeing a wide range of investment strategies represented in our closing room, from individual rental properties to larger commercial transactions.

🤝 Thank You to Our Real Estate Community
We are incredibly grateful to the investors, lenders, realtors, developers, and other real estate professionals who continue to trust our team with their transactions.

As Distilled continues to grow, our goal remains the same: to be a title company that real estate professionals know they can rely on when it matters most.
September was a big month for our team, and we're excited about the opportunities ahead.

Thank you to everyone who continues to be part of the journey.

🚀 August 2026 Recap – Distilled Title Company 🚀

August is officially in the books, and we're continuing to see some interesting shifts in the Kentucky real estate market. We're incredibly grateful for another strong month and for the clients and referral partners who continue to trust us with their transactions.

📊 By the Numbers:
🏡 10 Closings
🔑 7 Purchase Transactions
📄 3 Refinances
💰 $6.3 Million in Kentucky Real Estate Transacted

📈 Market Trends:

📉 Refinance Activity Is Picking Up
Following the Federal Reserve's most recent comments, we've seen more homeowners looking to refinance, not necessarily because rates have dropped dramatically, but because some are concerned that a rate hike could be coming. It's an interesting shift in mindset as homeowners look to lock in financing rather than wait and see what happens next.

🏠 Buyers Have More Options
We're continuing to see more inventory hit the market, which is giving buyers more options. That has also meant a few more transactions falling out for one reason or another, as buyers have more opportunities to reconsider a property. Combined with tighter underwriting standards, we're seeing buyers and sellers have to navigate a little more uncertainty before getting to the closing table.

🏢 Investors Are Still Buying
We're also continuing to see investors find quality opportunities that fit their buy boxes. While investors may be more selective than they were a few years ago, good deals are still getting done when the numbers make sense.

🙏 Thank You
We're incredibly grateful to our clients, lenders, realtors, investors, and referral partners who continue to support our growing business. Every transaction gives us another opportunity to earn someone's trust, and we don't take that responsibility lightly.

🚀 10 transactions. $6.3M transacted. And we're just getting started.

Thank you for continuing to make Distilled Title Company a part of your real estate journey!

🍋 July 2026 Recap – Distilled Title Company 🍋

Another month is in the books, and we're incredibly thankful for the continued trust our clients and referral partners place in us.

📊 By the Numbers
🏡 9 Closings
🔑 9 Purchase Transactions
📄 0 Refinances
💰 $3.7 Million in Real Estate Closed

📈 Market Trends
We're continuing to see an uptick in canceled transactions. Whether it's financing challenges, inspections, or other unforeseen circumstances, getting a deal to the closing table often requires patience and teamwork from everyone involved.

🏦 Refinance activity also remains relatively quiet as the Federal Reserve continues to hold interest rates steady. While purchases remain active, many homeowners are choosing to stay put rather than refinance.

🎉 Major Milestone
This month, we officially completed our 100th transaction! It's incredible to think that we've already had the opportunity to help more than 100 families, buyers, sellers, and investors throughout Kentucky. Reaching this milestone is something we're truly proud of, and it's only possible because of the relationships we've built with our clients and referral partners.

🙏 Thank You
To every client, lender, realtor, and industry partner who continues to place their trust in Distilled Title Company, thank you. Your confidence in us means the world, and we're honored to be part of your transactions.

🚀 Here's to carrying the momentum into August and continuing to provide a smooth, professional closing experience for every client we serve.

May Closing Recap 🏁

📊 6 Transactions
🏠 5 Purchases
💸 1 Refinance
💰 $3.1M in real estate closed

May was an interesting month because it felt much busier than the numbers alone would indicate.

In addition to closing transactions, a significant amount of time was spent onboarding new team members, improving internal processes, and helping move several deals toward the finish line that are expected to close in June.

One lesson I've learned as a business owner is that not every productive month looks the same. Some months are about closing deals. Other months are about building the foundation that allows you to handle more deals in the future.

I'm incredibly grateful for the lenders, realtors, investors, and clients who continue to trust Distilled Title with their business.
Excited for what's ahead. Stay tuned for an announcement about our growing team.

April Closing Recap 🏁

📊 6 Transactions
🏠 5 Purchases
💸 1 Refinance
💰 $6.2M in real estate closed

April was another strong month and a big milestone for the year so far.
Through just four months, we’ve already surpassed our total real estate volume from all of last year:

➡️ 2025 Total: $17.1M
➡️ 2026 (YTD): $18.3M

We’ve also hit over half of last year’s total transactions, with a lot of momentum building heading into May.

We are incredibly grateful for the lenders, realtors, and investors who continue to trust me with their business. That trust is what makes growth like this possible.

Excited for what’s ahead.

March Closing Recap 🏁

📊 6 Transactions
🏠 4 Purchases
💸 2 Refinances
💰 $3M in real estate closed

Q1 is typically the slowest stretch in real estate, which makes the consistency we’ve seen over the past few months even more meaningful.

Steady deal flow, new and repeat partners, and continued investor activity have all played a role in building momentum heading into the rest of the year.

I’m incredibly grateful for the lenders, realtors, and investors who continue to trust me with their business. That trust is never taken lightly.

Excited to keep building.

February Closing Recap 🏁
📊 4 Transactions
🏠 4 Purchases
💸 0 Refinances
💰 $5.6M in real estate closed

Like most months on this journey, February brought several meaningful “firsts” for me:

• My first multimillion-dollar transaction
• My first transaction involving a 1031 exchange
• My first closing connected to an auction house

Each milestone represents trust and I don’t take that lightly.

I’m incredibly grateful to the investors and partners who continue to place their confidence in me to handle their real estate transactions. These experiences aren’t just wins for the business; they’re reminders of how quickly growth happens when you stay consistent and surround yourself with the right people.
