A real estate closing involves reviewing the purchase agreement, disclosures, title commitment, and loan documents; coordinating with the title company; and recording the deed and funds at settlement. Attending with counsel helps clarify terms and ensure accuracy.
Closings typically take 30 to 60 days from offer acceptance, depending on lender timelines and title clearance. Delays can occur if document conditions or title issues arise.
If issues arise, your attorney can negotiate amendments, request waivers, or arrange conditions to satisfy closing requirements. The attorney coordinates with the title company to resolve defects before recording.

Bring valid photo ID, any payoff statements, the executed purchase agreement, disclosures, and any documents from the lender or title company. Having these ready helps speed the process.
Remote closings may be possible with electronic signatures and remote notarization, depending on lender and title company policies. Confirm options with your closing team.
Closing costs include title and recording fees, lender charges, and escrow deposits. Your settlement statement itemizes each charge and is reviewed for accuracy.
The purchasing agreement often specifies who selects the title company, though it can be negotiated. We can help evaluate and coordinate preferred providers.
