In California, you are not legally required to have a real estate attorney for a residential closing, but having one can help ensure documents are accurate and deadlines are met. Our team can explain disclosures, review the purchase agreement, and coordinate with the lender and title company to keep the process smooth.

Closings in California typically take about 30 to 45 days from when the contract is accepted, depending on contingencies and lender requirements. Delays can occur if title issues are found, if a lender requests additional documentation, or if county recording experiences backlogs.
