Practice
Buying a home
From the accepted offer to the recorded deed, so the house you pay for is the house you get.
Contract review
We read the purchase contract and its addenda and flag the deadlines that can cost you your deposit.
Title review
We read the title report line by line: liens, easements, old judgments and anything that would follow you.
Settlement statement
We check every figure against the contract and the loan estimate before you sign.
Closing day
You sign in our office or with a notary near you, and we record the deed afterwards.
How it goes
From accepted offer to the keys
Most purchases close in thirty to forty-five days. You hear from us at each step, and you always know what's next.
Day one: we read the contract and send you its deadlines
Week two: the title report arrives and we go through it with you
Closing week: we check the settlement statement line by line
Closing day: you sign, and we record the deed
The fee
One flat fee for the whole matter
What the fee covers
For a buyer with an agent and a lender: the legal side of the purchase, from contract to keys. Paid at closing, on your settlement statement.
Contract review before your deadlines run
Title report read line by line
Settlement statement checked before closing
Closing in our office or a remote signing
What moves it
A cash purchase, a condo or a problem in the title can change the work. We say so on the first call and quote it in writing before you pay.
Our fee is for legal work. Title insurance, recording fees, transfer taxes, lender charges and court costs are separate, and every one is listed on your settlement statement or invoice before you pay.
Common questions
When should I call?
As soon as you have an accepted offer, or before you sign one if the contract has terms you don't understand.
Do you work with my lender?
Yes. We send the lender what it needs for closing and check its figures against your loan estimate.
What if the inspection finds something?
We help you ask for a repair, a credit or a way out, inside the time your contract allows.
