You're exactly right about the title company. I represent a title company and we are days away from publically announcing our ability to accept BTC for payment.
There have been a few RE Brokers that say they now accept bitcoin as well as sellers, but that's very misleading. Buyers usually buy real estate in the US through a title company for certain protections against fraud and many other perils involved in buying real property. Mostly so a buyer truely receives what he/she believes he/she is buying. It's more complex than a transaction with a portable product or service.
Real estate brokers and sellers do not receive money from a buyer, they receive money from the title company. Brokers have no ability to allow a buyer to pay with BTC.
Vista Abstract is the first title company in the US to accept bitcoin as payment for real estate. This is truely enabling a BTC transaction. A buyer can pay us using bitcoin and the seller, broker and all other parties will get paid and we will complete the transaction. Simple as that.
