The process
What a closing attorney actually does
Review the contract
We confirm the purchase price, closing date, and any stipulations the parties agreed to, so we can prepare an accurate closing statement.
Examine title
We examine title and confirm the seller's ownership of the property.
Obtain payoffs
We gather payoffs and confirmation of any debts owed against the property or the seller at closing.
Build the closing file
We correspond with lenders, brokers, and underwriters to prepare a complete closing file.
Settle the debts
As the settlement agent, we pay mortgages, tax liens, and other debts owed at closing.
Closing day
We meet with the parties to execute all documents and facilitate a smooth, unhurried signing.
Record & insure
Once complete, we record all title documents and issue the buyer a title policy.
