November always reminds us to pause and reflect on what we’re thankful for — and at
Total FIRPTA, there’s no shortage of gratitude to go around.
Thankful for Our Clients
First and foremost, we’re grateful for the incredible title companies, real estate agents,
attorneys, and sellers who trust us every day with one of the most complex parts of a
real estate transaction. FIRPTA can be intimidating, but your confidence in our process
keeps us motivated to make it simpler, faster, and more transparent. We don’t take that
trust lightly — it’s the reason we do what we do.
Thankful for Our Team
Behind every seamless transaction is a team that cares. From answering late-night
questions to tracking down IRS updates, our staff goes above and beyond to deliver not
just accuracy, but empathy and reassurance. We’re thankful for every person who brings
their knowledge, humor, and heart to the office each day.
Thankful for the IRS (Yes, Really!)
It’s easy to joke about the IRS, but the truth is, they’re made up of hardworking people
trying to make a complex system function with limited resources. We may not always
agree with the pace of processing or the red tape, but we appreciate the effort behind
the scenes to modernize systems and improve communication. Progress may be slow,
but it’s happening — and we’re thankful for it.
Thankful for Partnerships
Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of building long-term relationships with title
companies, brokerages, and tax professionals who share our commitment to
compliance and client care. You’ve welcomed us as your FIRPTA department, and that
partnership means the world to us.
Thankful for the Journey
Finally, we’re thankful for the journey itself — for every challenge that’s pushed us to
improve, every client story that’s taught us something new, and every small win that
reminds us why we love what we do. FIRPTA isn’t just about forms and withholding —
it’s about people, property, and peace of mind.
This Thanksgiving, we hope you take a moment to reflect on what you’re thankful for,
too. From our family to yours — thank you for being part of our story.
