The purchase of a home is the largest transaction most people undertake
in their lives. It is also one of the largest financial risks incurred. Working with competent and experienced professionals
can simplify the process, as well as assure the homebuyer of receiving the representation necessary to protect their investment.
It is important to secure the services of a real estate attorney or title agent early in the process to begin an orderly and
smooth settlement.
Services provided typically include:
• Reviewing a draft of the offer to purchase.
• Performing
a search of the legal records pertaining to the property to determine the steps necessary for the buyer to obtain clear title.
• Obtaining payoffs for existing mortgages and other liens against the property.
• Conducting a closing
where deeds, mortgages, and other closing documents are signed.
• Collecting and properly disbursing funds to the
seller's lender, other parties who may have provided a closing service such as a surveyor or appraiser, and the seller.
•
Securing a title insurance policy on behalf of the buyer and the buyer's lender.
