Typical closing costs include title insurance, recording fees, lender charges, escrow fees, and county transfer taxes. We’ll itemize these in the Closing Disclosure.
Closings typically take a few weeks from agreement to recording, depending on financing, title issues, and contingencies.
Bring government-issued photo ID, a copy of the contract, loan documents, and any addenda or disclosures requested by the title company.
A title search investigates chain of ownership and any liens or claims that could affect transfer. The title policy provides protection against covered defects.
Escrow holds funds and ensures conditions are met before funds are released and documents recorded.
Some terms may be negotiable before signing, but after signing, options are limited and may require amendments or addenda.
The Closing Disclosure is typically prepared by the lender, title company, or closing agent and reviewed by the buyer and seller before closing.
If there are title defects, we work with you to understand remedies, such as curing the title, obtaining a quitclaim, or negotiating a new contract.
