Real Estate Closings

It has often been said that the single most important investment for most people is the purchase of a home. For most homebuyers, the purchase of a home involves a great deal of financial sacrifice. In addition, it is often one of their most emotional experiences. Yet, even with so much at stake, many people approach the home buying process with little or no knowledge of the process itself.

Our firm makes this process easier for you, by walking you through all the steps prior to closing. We believe investing our time to explain our role and the Client's role in the real estate transaction is very beneficial for the Client and our office. Our office prides itself on assisting first time home buyers and sellers so that they are fully informed about the entire process. This makes for an efficient and smooth closing for all parties involved.

We believe it is the attorney’s duty to represent the Client in a professional manner so as to ensure that the Client makes informed decisions throughout the process as well as affording the Client the benefit of what he or she bargained for in the purchase or sale of their home. If you are a Buyer, it is the attorney’s professional obligation to insure that the client is taking title free and clear of any unexpected encumbrances. If you the Seller, your attorney will be responsible for making sure all mortgages (if any) are paid off at closing.

As your attorney, we will assist you in avoiding many of the dangers and pitfalls associated with the purchase or sale of a property. We can prevent unforeseen complications by carefully performing the following work: Reviewing the real estate contract and/or prepare one for you. We will make sure that all time requirements are met. Review and explain all documents essential to the transaction. For example, the deed, bill of sale, the promissory note, the mortgage, tax and insurance issues, the survey, truth in lending form, the HUD (“respa”) statement, and other miscellaneous closing documents.
