Common Questions

Absolutely. Real estate is often your largest investment. Contracts run 20+ complex pages, title issues can cost thousands, and liens attach after closing.

A title company handles closing logistics, records documents, and provides insurance. An attorney protects your interests, reviews contracts, and addresses legal issues. You need both.

You still need an attorney for title review, title insurance, contract negotiation, deed preparation, and recording.

A title search is a legal check: does anyone else have claims on the property? A survey is a physical check: where is the property line? A survey is typically not required unless there are boundary disputes, new construction, an unusual lot shape, or your lender requires one.

Liens are claims against the property: tax liens (must be paid from the sale), contractor liens (if the builder did not pay a contractor), mortgage liens (must be paid), and HOA liens (must be satisfied). We handle the resolution.
