Residential Related FAQ’s

What documents do I need to provide?2025-10-30T00:59:02+00:00

Buyers: government-issued ID and any lender-required documents.

Sellers: government-issued ID and wire instructions for sending net proceeds.

What happens during the settlement process?2025-10-30T00:57:16+00:00

After contract ratification, we conduct a thorough title search, review the chain of title to verify the legal conveyance of each deed in the chain, identify and clear liens, and issue title insurance policies protecting the buyer and the lender. We also:

  • Coordinate with your lender and all parties to the transaction
  • Prepare the settlement statement and closing documents to transfer the title
  • Facilitate closing day when documents are signed and ownership transfers
  • Disburse all funds according to the terms of the contract and settlement statement
  • Record all documents to legally transfer title.
What is escrow, and how does it work?2025-10-30T00:56:40+00:00

Escrow means we hold funds (such as your earnest money) in a secure account until all contract conditions are met. At closing, we disburse funds to the seller, lenders, and other parties. We are licensed, insured, bonded and have decades of experience to ensure the utmost professionalism and security of your funds. We also invest in the most advanced technology to further protect your personal data.

What are transfer and recording taxes?2025-10-30T05:25:35+00:00

Each jurisdiction sets its own transfer or recordation taxes. These are based on the sales price and loan amount and are paid at closing. Typically they are split equally between buyer and seller, but like many details in a real estate transaction, they may be negotiated in the contract.

How long does the process take?2025-10-30T00:57:28+00:00

Most transactions close within 30–45 days, depending on lender timelines and whether title issues arise. We offer quick turnaround for cash transactions, refinances or if the parties require expedited processing and can close in as little as 2 weeks.
