Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A real estate closing is the final step in a property transaction. It involves signing the necessary legal documents, transferring ownership from seller to buyer, handling payment and escrow disbursement, and recording the deed with the appropriate county or state office.

A title search is conducted to confirm that the seller legally owns the property and that there are no outstanding claims, liens, encumbrances, or legal issues that could affect ownership. It’s a critical part of both residential and commercial closings to ensure a clean transfer of title.

Title insurance protects the buyer and lender from financial loss due to undiscovered title issues, such as hidden liens, forgeries, or ownership disputes. It provides peace of mind that the property rights are secure after closing.

An escrow account is typically used to securely hold funds—such as the buyer’s down payment and lender funds—until all conditions of the sale are met. Once everything is verified and signed, funds are distributed to the appropriate parties, including the seller, agents, and lien holders.

Commercial closings often involve more complex due diligence, such as reviewing leases, zoning laws, environmental regulations, and financing arrangements. The stakes are typically higher and multiple parties—such as attorneys, lenders, and contractors—are usually involved.

A 1031 Exchange allows an investor to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting proceeds from the sale of one investment property into another “like-kind” property. To qualify, strict IRS timelines and rules must be followed, and a Qualified Intermediary must facilitate the process.

Yes. Manufactured home closings may involve different title procedures than traditional real estate. It’s important to verify that the home has a clear title, ensure that all lien releases are processed, and comply with local or state regulations before finalizing the sale.

A Contract for Deed is a financing agreement where the buyer makes payments directly to the seller over time without involving a traditional mortgage lender. The seller retains legal title until the buyer fulfills the contract terms. It’s important to conduct a title check and record the contract to protect both parties.

Yes. With Remote Online Notarization (RON) and digital tools, many parts of the closing process can be completed online. Buyers and sellers can sign documents, verify identity, and complete notarizations securely from any location with internet access.

Closing costs typically include title insurance, attorney or escrow fees, document preparation, recording fees, taxes, and lender-related charges. These vary based on property type, location, and transaction complexity, and they’re usually shared between buyer and seller based on the purchase agreement.
