Residential Closing

   A Real Estate Closing, sometimes referred to as a "settlement" is when the purchaser and seller meet and transfer the title to the property. The deed, loan documents and other legally required documents are signed and all funds are obtained and then disbursed.  During the closing process, we work closely with you, your agent, your lender and the buyers or sellers to ensure a smooth and timely settlement. We will take care of the title search and will carefully examine the title abstract to determine that there are no defects on your title that might have a negative impact on your ownership rights to your property. We explain each document involved in the real estate closing process and review each entry on the paperwork.
